Answer:
C. disposition and condensation
Explanation:
We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.
Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.
Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams
Answer: Metals form cations.
The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.
The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.
Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.
Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.
Answer:
Erosion is the washing away of the uppermost part of the earth crust. Once erosion starts it only gets worse because, erosion wash away further soil, causing the eroding channel to futher expand, increasing the erosion.
Lack of vegetative cover allows erosion which washes away soil nutrients, further worsening the soil against soil vegetative cover.
