Answer:
Option (D)
Explanation:
Weathering is usually defined as the disintegration of rocks at the surface of the earth. This break down of rocks is mainly caused by the geological processes that occur on the earth's surface. This process results in the formation of sediments that are transported and deposited in a new environment.
This weathering process primarily takes place in three different ways such as-
- Physical weathering- Here, the rocks are broken down by the physical agents such as wind, water, ice.
- Chemical weathering- Here the rocks are broken down when interacts with the chemical containing water.
- Biological weathering- here, the rocks are broken down due to the activities done by organisms such as plants and animals.
In the given condition, Quincy can see a real example of rock weathering in the high mountainous region, as in the mountainous region the rocks are frequently weathered and eroded by the agents such as wind, water, and ice.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
1.Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.
2.Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table.
3.Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
4.Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements and is.
- From the general law of gases: PV = nRT,
where P is the pressure (atm),
V is the volume (L),
n is the number of moles,
R is the general gas constant (8.314 L.atm/mol.K),
T is the temperature in Kelvin
- at constant volume of the gas: P1T2 = P2T1
P1 = 3.20 atm, T1 = 300 K, T2 = 290 K, P2 = ??
(3.20 atm)(290 K) = P2(300 K)
P2 = (3.20 atm)(290 K)/ (300 K) = 3.093 atm
Altitude is height above sea level. The density of air decreases with height. There are two reasons, at higher altitudes there is less air pushing down from above,and gravity is weaker farther from earths center.
