Scientists infer that chemical weathering of crustal rocks is not the only source of some minerals, such as chlorine, bromine, sulfur, and boron because

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

40dm3 of gas at 760 torr are heated from 5°c to 50°c what is the new volume

How is the way a mixture is combined different from how a compound is combined?
