What are the chracteristics of lead sulfide?
Lead sulfide is a black solution. It is insoluble in water and is a precipitate. The principle of the lead acetate test is the formation of lead sulfide.
How are sink holes formed in a limestone region?
As water flows through a limestone, some of the rock dissolves. This process can lead to the formation of cavities and caves. If a cave becomes too large and unstable to support the overbearing rock, it will collapse, leaving a sink hole at the surface.
Which two phenomena of light lead to the formation of rainbow when sunlight go through the water droplets?
Reflection and refraction.
What chemical processes can lead to the removal of ions from solution and thus drive a metathesis reaction?
The formation of a gas that escapes the system, the formation of a precipitate, or the formation of water can drive a double displacement reaction (metathesis reaction) to completion.
In reactions betewwen gases all collisions lead to reactions?
The statement is false as a generalization.
What factors lead to state formation in the interlacustrine regions in central Africa?
Interlacustrine means situated between lakes or bodies of water. This led to state formation in Africa because much of Africa is water-less. The water enabled people to band together and form communities.
Harold Urey and Stanley Miller were biochemists that were able to?
Harold Urey and Stanley Miller were able to prove the hypothesis that conditions during the early portion of earth's formation were conducive to complex chemical reactions. These reactions formed amino acids, which are the bases of organic compounds that lead to life on earth.
How do subduction zones lead to the formation of volcanic activity?
Subduction zones lead to the formation of volcanic activity because the water combined with crust and mantle material lowers the rock's melting point temperature, causing the rock to melt and produce magma, which then creates volcanic activity.
What reaction with water lead to the formation of the cave?
Rain water + atmospheric CO2 gives Carbonic Acid - very weak but over time able to dissolve limestone.
Explain the four processes of cooling that can lead to cloud formation?
Clouds form when water evaporates, travels up the atmosphere, cools and then condenses.
How mouy freeze thaw weathering lead to the formation of a scree slope?
Like the formation of your face.
Which phenomenon leads to the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Heat and pressure lead to the formation of metamorphic rocks.
