Water seeps into cracks in a rock, expands on freezing, and enlarges the cracks in a
process called

A. exfoliation
B. Hydrolysis
C. Frost Wedging
D. Frost heaving

C

Explanation:

Water seeps into the crack then freezes, and results in an enlarged crack.

Frost Wedging

Explanation:

Frost wedging is when water seeps into cracks in a rock, expands on freezing, and enlarges the cracks. It is a form of mechanical weathering.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
