Pegmatita y pegmatoide: origen, características y morfología

ChemistryUpdated on 3.34 KB

¿Qué es una Pegmatita?

Pegmatita: Roca ígnea de grano particularmente grueso y de composición general granitoidea, aunque por regla general suelen tener un tamaño de grano y composición variable. Se forma a partir de o por la acción de fundidos silicatos con altos contenidos en H₂O y otros volátiles disueltos. El fundido pegmatítico se origina a partir de fundidos residuales de la recristalización por enfriamiento de un plutón o a través de fusión anatectica parcial de rocas metamórficas.

Definición de Pegmatoide

Pegmatoide: Roca ígnea que tiene la textura de grano grueso de una pegmatita, pero sin intercrecimientos gráficos o composición granítica. Los fundidos residuales ricos en sílice, con gran concentración de volátiles...

Limiting Reagents

Sometimes when reactions occur between two or more substances, one reactant runs out before the other. That is called the "limiting reagent". Often, it is necessary to identify the limiting reagent in a problem. 
Example: A chemist only has 6.0 grams of C2H2 and an unlimited supply of oxygen and he desires to produce as much CO2 as possible. If she uses the equation below, how much oxygen should she add to the reaction?

2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 4CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)

To solve this problem, it is necessary to determine how much oxygen should be added if all of the reactants were used up (this is the way to produce the maximum amount of CO2). 
First, we calculate the number of moles of C2H2 in 6.0 g of C2H2. To be able to calculate

Key Concepts in Morphology and Word Formation

Chemistry3.5 KB

  • Lexeme: The abstract vocabulary item listed in the lexicon with a common core of meaning.
  • Word-forms: Physical realizations of the lexeme.
  • Paradigm: The list of word-forms that belong to a word.
  • Morpheme: The smallest unit of analysis with semantic content or grammatical function that words are made up of.
  • Morph: The physical realization of the morpheme. Morphs are made up of one or more morphemes.
  • Syncretism: Identical word-forms that belong to the same lexeme but are different grammatical words.
  • Root: The basic form that remains when you get rid of all the affixes.
  • Stem: A term that we only use in inflectional morphology; it is the form to which you attach an inflectional affix (only suffixes in English).
  • Base: Anything; any root and any stem are

Photophosphorylation: Cyclic and Noncyclic Processes

Chemistry3.44 KB

Noncyclic Photophosphorylation

This process is similar to what occurs after the electron transport chain in the mitochondrial membrane.

  • With the stroma, protons are transported to the lumen through the fixed plastoquinone.
  • This generates a potential gradient that moves to an enzyme, ATPase, located in F particles, similar to those of mitochondria.
  • ATPase uses four protons to phosphorylate ADP to ATP.

Cyclic Photophosphorylation

This occurs when:

  • Light striking the plant is between 681 and 700 nm, exciting only Photosystem I (PSI).
  • The plant urgently needs ATP, as this process is faster than noncyclic photophosphorylation and does not waste energy reducing NADP when not needed.

The process unfolds as follows:

  1. PSI donates electrons to the acceptor chain,

Electrolysis, Brine, Electroplating, and Periodic Trends Explained

Electrolysis of Molten Sodium Chloride

Example: Molten sodium chloride:

  • Cathode: 2H+(aq) + 2e- → H2(g) (hydrogen bubbles off)
  • Anode: 2Cl- → Cl2(g) + 2e- (chlorine gas produced)

Electrolysis of Aqueous Sodium Chloride

Aqueous solution of sodium chloride:

  • At the cathode: Na+ and H+(aq) are present. H+(aq) is discharged because hydrogen is below sodium in the reactivity series. 2H+(aq) + 2e- → H2(g)
  • At the anode: OH- and Cl- are present. Cl- is discharged because it is in high concentration. 2Cl-(aq) → Cl2(g) + 2e-

Positively charged ions move to the negative electrode during electrolysis. They receive electrons and are reduced.

Negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode during electrolysis. They lose electrons and are oxidized.

Brine

Calvin Cycle and Photosynthesis: A Detailed Look

Chemistry3.13 KB

The Calvin Cycle

The Calvin cycle's objective is to fix carbon dioxide (CO2) using ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. For every triose (3-carbon sugar), two are needed to form a glucose, requiring 3 ribulose and 3 CO2. A hexose (6-carbon sugar) requires 6 ribulose and 6 CO2.

Phases of the Calvin Cycle

  1. Carbon Fixation: Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (5C) combines with CO2 to form a 6C compound. Enzyme: Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase. This creates a highly unstable compound. Input: 1 CO2 per ribulose.
  2. Reduction: The unstable 6C compound splits into two triose molecules (3C), specifically glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Input/Output: None.
  3. Phosphorylation: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is phosphorylated using ATP, transforming into 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. Input: 1

Paradigmatic and Syntagmatic Relationships in Language

Chemistry1.32 KB

Paradigmatic (vertical) axis

The words organizations, groups, and Amnesty International are related to each other because they all belong to the same semantic group, a relationship known as hyponymy. Organizations serve as a hypernym (a more general or superordinate word), while human rights groups and Amnesty International serve as hyponyms (more specific words, in this case types of organizations). The other two kinds of paradigmatic relationships are those of synonymy (prompted = caused) and antonymy (weak/strong).

Syntagmatic (horizontal) axis
 Unlike the paradigmatic relationships, the syntagmatic relationships of a word are not about meaning. They are about the lexical company the word keeps (collocation) and the grammatical patterns
