Answer:

Greater

Explanation:

Weathering can be defined as the physical and chemical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces called sediment. Weathering can be classified into two categories namely;

- Physical weathering is the process of breaking rocks into pieces without affecting its chemical composition e.g temperature, abrasion and frost action.

- Chemical weathering is the process of breaking rocks into pieces by chemical action which leads to changes in its chemical composition e.g carbonation, hydration, plant acid and oxidation.

Since the large rock is broken into several smaller pieces. comparing this rate of weathering of the large rock, the rate of weathering of the smaller pieces will be greater.

Answer:

Greater

Explanation:

Large rocks have less surface area for their  volume than small rocks.

Therefore, a smaller  portion of the rock is exposed to weathering.

It takes longer for the rock to wear away. The  small rock has more surface

area for its volume, so it weathers away faster.every time the rock breaks into

smaller pieces its surface area or part exposed to weathering is increased.

How many electrons are transferred in the given redox reaction?<br><br> Zn+2AgNO3⟶2Ag+Zn(NO3)2
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

2 electrons are transfered in this reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is a reaction where an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons, while reduction corresponds to the electron gain of an atom, ion, or molecule.

In an oxidation-reduction reaction two simultaneous processes take place, oxidation and reduction.

So, oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. They are also called electron transfer reactions since the particle that is exchanged is the electron.

In this case:

Zn(s) ⇒ Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

2 Ag⁺  (aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 Ag(s)

So, zinc metal loses two electrons to form the zinc(II) ions, while the two silver ions each gain one  electron to form two silver metal atoms.

Then, Zn is a reducing agent (The reducing agent is the one that provides the electrons, oxidizing itself), AgNO3 is an oxidizing agent (The oxidizing agent is the one that traps the electrons, reducing itself).

Finally, you can see that <u><em>2 electrons are transfered in this reaction.</em></u>

The volume of hcl gas required to react with excess ca to produce 11.4 l of hydrogen gas at 1.62 atm and 62.0 °c is ________ l.
seropon [69]

Answer:

22.8 L  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use <em>Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes</em> to solve this problem:

Gases <em>at the same temperature and pressure</em> react in simple whole-number ratios.

1. Write the chemical equation.

Ratio:                 2 L                             1 L

          Ca(s) + 2HCl(g) ⟶ CaCl₂(s) + H₂(g)

V/L:                                                     11.4

2. Calculate the volume of HCl.

According to the law, 2 L of HCl form 1 L of H₂.

Then, the conversion factor is (2 L HCl/1 L H₂).

Volume of HCl = 11.4 L H₂ × (2 L HCl/1 L H₂)

                         = 22.8 L HCl

A medical class is hearing a lecture on vision. The doctor asks them what happens when the eye produces too much fluid, causing
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The doctor is discussing an Ocular Hypertension disease.

Explanation:

If we have a small space with a defined volume like in this case an eye, when we fill this space with a liquid, the liquid will occupy the whole volume available, and when it is much liquid or fluid, and the volume of the eye can not expand it will start to generate an internal pressure. This higher pressure is called Hypertension.

Liquid nitrogen has a density of 0.807 g/ml at –195.8 °c. if 1.00 l of n2(l) is allowed to warm to 25°c at a pressure of 1.00 at
Flauer [41]
Step 1: Change density from g/mL to g/L;

                                  0.807 g/mL  =  807 g/L

Step 2: Find Moles of N₂;
As,
             Density  =  Mass / Volume
Or,
             Mass  =  Density × Volume

Putting Values,

            Mass  =  807 g/L × 1 L

            Mass  =  807 g
Also,
            Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

Putting values,

            Moles  =  807 g / 28 g.mol⁻¹

            Moles  =  28.82 moles

Step 3: Apply Ideal Gas Equation to Find Volume of gas occupied,

As,
                        P V  =  n R T

                            V  =  n R T / P
Putting Values, remember! don't forget to change temperatue into Kelvin (25 °C + 273 = 298 K)

                 V  =  (28.82 mol × 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 298 K) ÷ 1 atm

                 V  =  704.76 L

Each of three identical 15.0-L gas cylinders contains 7.50 mol of gas at 295 K. Cylinder A contains Ne, cylinder B contains NO2,
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

d) All have identical pressures

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory explains how gas molecules behave in a container. By this theory, the gas particles behave like hard, spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion; these particles collide between them and at the walls of the container. Besides, the kinetic energy of the gas depends only on the temperature.

The pressure is the force that the particles are applying under some area, so by the theory, it depends on the number of moles (amount of particles that collides and make the force), the volume of the container and the kinetic energy, or the temperature.

Because all gases have the same number of moles and are at the same temperature and the same volume, they'll have the same pressure.
