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.

If the amount of gas and volume are constant and you double the temperature of the gas, pressure halves
Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

if we fix the temperature, we are just left with PV = constant for the gas law. So, in this situation, if the volume is doubled, the pressure must go down by one-half. And vice-versa. The simplest illustration of this would be a cylinder with a plunger on one end: if you push the plunger in so that the volume of the cylinder is halved and the temperature remains constant, then the pressure will double.

Calculate the number of gold atoms in a sample of gold(III) chloride . Be sure your answer has a unit symbol if necessary, and r
Fudgin [204]

Answer: N = 2.78 × 10^23 atoms

There are N = 2.78 × 10^23 atoms in 70g of Au2cl6

Completed Question:

Calculate the number of gold atoms in a 70g sample of gold(III) chloride . Be sure your answer has a unit symbol if necessary, and round it to significant digits

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of Au2cl6 = 303.33g/mol

Mass of Au2cl6 = 70g

Number of moles of Au2cl6 = 70g/303.33g/mol = 0.231mol

According to the chemical formula of Au2cl6,

1 mole of Au2cl6 contains 2 moles of Au

Number of moles of Au = 2 × 0.231mol = 0.462mole

There are 6.022 × 10^23 atoms in 1 mole of an element.

Number of Atom of gold in 0.462 mole of gold is:

N = 0.462 mol × 6.022 × 10^23 atoms/mol

N = 2.78 × 10^23 atoms
