Yes, The tectonic plates are always moving and interacting today. The continents are still moving today. Because sometimes of the most dynamic sites of tectonic activity are seafloor spreading zones and giant rift valleys.

A vessel of volume 22.4 dm3 contains 2.0 mol h2 and 1.0 mol n2 at 273.15 k initially. all the h2 reacted with sufficient n2 to f

yanalaym [24]

Volume = 22.4 dm3
n = 2 mol of H2
n = 1 mol of N2
Temperature = 273.15
All H2 reacts
reaction
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
1:3 ratio
Calculation:
N2 initial - N2 reacted = Final N2
1 - 2*(1/3) = 0.3333 mol of N2 left
H2 = 0 left
NH3 formed = 2/3*1 = 2/3 = 0.666
Total mol:
0.3333 + 0.666 = 1 mol
Apply the equation :
PV = nRT
P = nRT/V = 1*0.0082*(273.15)/(22.4) = 0.0999924 atm
PH2 = 0
PN2 = 1/3*0.0999924 = 0.0333308 atm
PNH3 = 2/3*0.0999924 = 0.0666616 atm
Answer is 0.0666616 atm

What is the expected number of valence electrons in an atom of the element flerovium in ground state

ehidna [41]

Flerovium at its ground state is solid. It has electron configuration of [Rn]5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7s²7p². The expected number of valence electrons in a flerovium atom is 2. A ground state is the most stable state of an atom at satndard temperature and pressure.

When the equation Sn + HNO₃ → SnO₂ + NO₂ + H₂O is balanced in acidic solution, what is the smallest whole-number coefficient for

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction we first assign the oxidation state for each species:

$Sn^0 + H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 + N^{4+}O^{2-}_2 + H^+_2O^-$

Whereas the half reactions are:

$Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O$

Next, we exchange the transferred electrons:

$1\times(Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-)\\\\4\times (H^++H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +1e^-\rightarrow N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+H_2O)\\\\\\Sn^0+2H_2O \rightarrow Sn^{4+}O_2 +4H^++4e^-\\\\4H^++4H^+N^{5+}O^{-2}_3 +4e^-\rightarrow 4N^{4+}O^{2-}_2+4H_2O$
