Which layer of Earth has partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates?

Chemistry
1 answer:
beks73 [17]2 years ago
6 0

The layer of Earth that has partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates is Mantle.  The correct option is C.

<h3>What are the layers of the Earth?</h3>

The Earth is divided into three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. This is the earth's outer layer, and it is composed primarily of solid rock, primarily basalt and granite. Oceanic crust and continental crust are the two types of crust.

The layer of Earth that has partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates is Mantle.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Viefleur [7K]
0.1 km

2cm/year * 5000 yrs = 10000 cm

1cm= .01 m

1km = 1000 m

so the answer is 0.1 km

How many H2O molecules are in 183.2 grams of H20 gas?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: There are 61.24 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 183.2 grams of H_{2}O gas.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 183.2 g

Number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.

As molar mass of water is 18 g/mol. Therefore, moles of H_{2}O are calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{183.2 g}{18 g/mol}\\= 10.17 mol

According to the mole concept, there are 6.022 \times 10^{22} molecules present in one mole of a substance.

Hence, molecules present in 10.17 moles are calculated as follows.

10.17 mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 61.24 \times 10^{23}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 61.24 \times 10^{23} molecules present in 183.2 grams of H_{2}O gas.

A silver cube with an edge length of 2.42 cm and a gold cube with an edge length of 2.75 cm are both heated to 85.4 ∘C and place
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of silver cube = 2.42³ = 14.17 cm³

mass of silver cube = volume x density

= 14.17 x 10.49 = 148.64 gm

Volume of gold cube = 2.75³ = 20.8  cm³

mass of gold cube =  20.8 x 19.3 = 401.44 gm

specific heat of silver and gold are .24 and .129 J /g°C

mass of 112 mL water = 112 g

Heat absorbed = heat lost = mass x specific heat x temperature fall or rise

Heat lost by metals

= 148.64 x .24 x ( 85.4 -T) + 401.44 x .129 x ( 85.4 - T )

= (35.67 + 51.78 ) x ( 85.4 - T )

87.45 x ( 85.4 - T )

= 7468.23 - 87.45 T

Heat gained by water

= 112 x 1 x ( T - 20.5 )

= 112 T - 2296

Heat lost = heat gained

7468.23 - 87.45 T = 112 T - 2296

199.45 T = 9764.23

T = 48.95° C

Do you think thermal expansion affects all states of matter or just the solid? Explain your thinking.
torisob [31]

Answer:

All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does.

When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.

Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers. An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass.

Molecules within gases are further apart and weakly attracted to each other. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand - and so increases in temperature result in increases in pressure.:
