The layered appearance of foliated metamorphic rocks is due to the a) recrystallization of minerals. b) mechanical deformation of sheet-structured minerals. c) laying down of micaceous minerals, layer upon layer. d) realignment of sheet-structured minerals so that they are perpendicular to compressive forces.

let that person have a turn to speak : )

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
