Answer:

C: The shape of the pebbles is a result of weathering and deposition

Explanation:

For the several pebbles to have a rounded shape and smooth to the touch, it will undergo weathering and deposition. This is because weathering involves breaking down of rocks and creating new sediments. This weathering could be either chemical weathering or physical weathering where Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks which are caused by chemical reactions and which result in formation of new compound while physical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces. On the other hand, deposition occurs when the agents of erosion such as wind or water deposit sediments from one spot to another which in turn changes the shape of the land.

Thus, the shape of the pebbles are as a result weathering of the parent rocks and from deposition.

Lastly, Snape thinks we should try one more calculation. What is the retention factor if the distance traveled by the solvent fr
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.1 is the retention factor.

Explanation:

Distance covered by solvent ,d_s= 2.0 cm

Distance covered by solute or ion,d = 0.20 cm

Retention factor(R_f) is defined as ratio of distance traveled by solute to the distance traveled by solvent.

R_f=\frac{d}{d_s}

R_f=\frac{0.20 cm}{2.0 cm}=0.1

0.1 is the retention factor.

The human body burns glucose for energy according to this chemical reaction: The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide and
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The average persons requires 75000 breaths to exhale 1.0 Kg of fat

Explanation:

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

"The human body burns glucose (C6H1206) for energy according to this chemical reaction:

C6H1206 + 602----> 6CO2 + 6H20

The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500 mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO2 and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 3.0 kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 1.00 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO2 is 2.0 kg/m³”.

Volume of air exhaled on average per breath = 500 mL

Volume of CO2 exhaled per breath = 4/100 × 500 = 20 mL

Since, 1000000 mL = 1 m³;

20 mL = 0.00002 m³

3.0 kg of CO2 is exhaled per Kg of fat.

Density of CO2 = 2.0 Kg/m³

Volume = mass/density

Volume of 3.0 Kg CO2 = 3.0/2.0 = 1.5 m³

Number of breaths that will have a volume of 1.5 m³ = 1.5/0.00002 = 75000 breaths.

Type the correct answer in the box. Express the answer to three significant figures.
frutty [35]

Answer : The energy released is -3319.7 KJ.

Solution : Given,

Mass of methane = 59.7 g

Molar mass of methane = 16 g/mole

\Delta H=-890KJ/mole

The value of \Delta H is in negative that means the energy is releasing.

First we have to calculate the moles of methane.

Moles of methane = \frac{\text{ Mass of methane}}{\text{ Molar mass of methane}}= \frac{59.7g}{16g/mole}=3.73moles

Now we have to calculate the amount of energy released.

The given reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of methane releases -890 KJ/mole of energy

3.73 moles of methane releases \frac{-890KJ/mole}{1mole}\times 3.73mole=-3319.7KJ of energy

Therefore, the energy released is -3319.7 KJ.

Tritium 3 1H decays to 3 2He by beta emission. Find the energy released in the process. Answer in units of keV.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to calculate the binding energy of each isotope and then take the difference.

The mass of Tritium = 3.016049 amu.

So,the binding energy of Tritium =  3.016049 *931.494 MeV

= 2809.43155 MeV.

The mass of Helium 3 = 3.016029 amu.

So, the binding energy of Helium 3 = 3.016029 * 931.494 MeV

= 2809.41292 MeV.

The difference between the binding energy of Tritium and the binding energy of Helium is: 32809.43155 - 2809.412 = 0.01863 MeV

1 MeV = 1000keV.

Thus, 0.01863 MeV = 0.01863*1000keV = 18.63 keV.

So, the energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV.

Write an equation that shows the formation of a strontium ion from a neutral strontium atom
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Sr(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> SrCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Ionically;

Sr(s) + 2Cl^-(aq) ----> SrCl2(aq)

If we look at the reaction above, strontium atom was dissolved in hydrochloric acid. The strontium atom is now oxidized by the acid to give Sr^2+ ion according to the equation shown above.
