Answer:

d. In a granite containing quartz, mica, and feldspar, everything weathers to clay except the quartz.

Explanation:

Granite is a rock formed by a set of minerals, but its composition is basically as follows: Quartz, a colorless mineral; Feldspar (orthoclase, sanidine and microcline), responsible for the variety of colors, including reddish, pink and cream-gray; and Mica (biotite and muscovite), which adds shine to the rock. Of these three minerals, mica and feldspar generate clay during the weathering process, however quartz does not generate clay, probably due to its hardness.

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

Yanka [14]

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s$

b) for completion of 32% of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}$

$t=44.3s$

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}$

$t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}$

$t=191s$

Three compounds containing potassium and oxygen are compared. Analysis shows that for each 1.00 g of O, the compounds have 1.22

kicyunya [14]

The law of proportion states that elements combine in whole number ratios. The gram readings for K are multiples of each other, both in grams and moles.
Let us compare the ratios:
2.44 grams/1.22 grams = 2
4.89 grams/2.44 grams = 2

Therefore, Potassium always combines with Oxygen in a ratio of 2 is to 1.

Calculate the specific heat capacity for a 22.7-g sample of lead that absorbs 237 J when its temperature increases from 29.8 °C

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf c\approx 0.159 \ J/ g \textdegree C}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the specific heat capacity of a sample of lead. The formula for calculating the specific heat capacity is:

$c= \frac{Q}{m \times \Delta T}$

The heat absorbed (Q) is 237 Joules. The mass of the lead sample (m) is 22.7 grams. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature. The temperature increases from 29.8 °C to 95.6 °C.

ΔT = final temperature -inital temperature
ΔT= 95.6 °C - 29.8 °C = 65.8 °C

Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.

Q= 237 J
m= 22.7 g
ΔT = 65.8 °C

$c= \frac {237 \ J}{22.7 \ g \ \times \ 65.8 \textdegree C}$

Solve the denominator.

22.7 g * 65.8 °C = 1493.66 g °C

$c= \frac {237 \ J}{1493.66 \ g \textdegree C}$

Divide.

$c= 0.1586706479 J /g \textdegree C$

The original values of heat, temperature, and mass all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 8 up to a 9.

$c \approx 0.159 \ J/g \textdegree C$

The specific heat capacity of lead is approximately 0.159 Joules per gram degree Celsius.

Check 0/1 ptRetries 5 Element R has three isotopes. The isotopes are present in 0.0825, 0.2671, and 0.6504 relative abundance. I

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Atomic mass = 127.198 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic mass is obtained by summing the masses of the isotopes each multiplied by its abundance.

Atomic mass = (97.62 * 0.0825) + (109.3 * 0.2671) + (138.3 * 0.6504)

Atomic mass = 8.05365 + 29.19403 + 89.95032

Atomic mass = 127.198 amu
