Answer: stress caused by plate movement

Explanation:

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, the different types of movements being divergent, convergent and transform.

Divergent boundaries: where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries: where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries: where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

Which coefficient before potassium (K) balances this chemical equation?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The coefficient before potassium (K) balances this chemical equation is 2.

Explanation:

_K +Cl₂ → 2KCl

K =1 ; Cl =2

K=1 × 2 = 2

Cl = 1 × 2 = 2

2 K +Cl₂ = 2 KCl

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

<em>Hydrogen.</em>

Explanation:

You've probably seen "H_{2}0" which is the formula for water. It means that there's 2 hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom, in one molecule of water.

The "air bags" that are currently installed in automobiles to prevent injuries in the event of a crash are equipped with sodium
stellarik [79]

Answer:

0.0177 L of nitrogen will be produced

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of sodium azide will be:

2NaN_{3}(s)--->2Na(s)+3N_{2}(g)

As per the balanced equation two moles of sodium azide will give three moles of nitrogen gas

The molecular weight of sodium azide = 65 g/mol

The mass of sodium azide used = 100 g

The moles of sodium azide used = \frac{mass}{molarmass}=\frac{100}{65}=1.54mol

so 1.54 moles of sodium azide will give = \frac{3X1.54}{2}=2.31mol

the volume will be calculated using ideal gas equation

PV=nRT

Where

P = Pressure = 1.00 atm

V = ?

n = moles = 2.31 mol

R = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = 25 °C = 298.15 K

Volume = \frac{P}{nRT}=\frac{1}{2.31X0.0821X298.15}=0.0177L

The standard free energy of activation of one reaction A is 95.00 kJ mol–1 (22.71 kcal mol–1). The standard free energy of activ
diamong [38]

Answer:

The answer to the questions are as follows

Reaction B is 4426.28 times faster than reaction A

(b) Reaction B is faster.

Explanation:

To solve the question we are meant to compare both reactions to see which one is faster

The values of the given activation energies are as follows

For A

Ea = 95.00 kJ mol–1 (22.71 kcal mol–1) and

for  B

Ea = 74.20 kJ mol–1 (17.73 kcal mol–1)

T is the same for both reactions and is equal to 298 k

Concentration of both reaction = 1M

The Arrhenius Law is given by

k = Ae^{\frac{-E_{a} }{RT} }

Where

k = rate constant

Ea = activation energy

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature  (Kelvin )

A = Arrhenius factor

Therefore

For reaction A, the rate constant k₁ is given by k₁ = Ae^{\frac{-95000}{(8.314)(298)} }

And for B the rate constant k₂ is given by k₂ = Ae^{\frac{-74200 }{(8.314)(298)} }

k₁ = A×2.225×10⁻¹⁷

k₂ = A×9.850×10⁻¹⁴

As seen from the above Reaction B is faster than reaction A by (A×9.850×10⁻¹⁴)/(A×2.225×10⁻¹⁷) or 4426.28 times

A. True <br> b. False a chemical species is either an acid or a base, it cannot function as both
ivann1987 [24]
False They can function as both. An example is Aluminium Oxide. These kind of substances are called "Amphoteric", they can behave as both acids and bases.
