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.

Calculate Ho298 for the process Zn + S + 2O2 ? ZnSO4 from the following information:
Yuri [45]

Answer:  \Delta H^0=-982.8kJ.

Explanation:

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

Zn+S\rightarrow ZnS    \Delta H^0_1=-206.0kJ   (1)

ZnS+2O_2\rightarrow ZnSO_4 \Delta H^0_2=-776.8kJ  (2)

The final reaction is:

Zn+S+2O_2\rightarrow ZnSO_4  \Delta H^0_3=?   (3)

By adding (1) and (2)

\Delta H^0_3=\Delta H^0_1+\Delta H^0_2=-206.0kJ+(-776.8kJ)=-982.8kJ

Hence \Delta H^0=-982.8kJ.

aalyn [17]
0.025 g
Sig Fig applies only to numbers that not zero, only except when the zero is after the the number.
For example:
0.0255 is three sigfigs
0.0050 is two sig figs
0.0005 is one sigfig

At 25°C, 100 g of water will be saturated with 35.7 g of NaCl. Which word below describes the solution of 1.55 mol of NaCl disso
erica [24]
1) The saturation point at 25°C is 35.7 g of NaCl / 100 g of water => 35.7 %

Under normal circumstances water will not accept more salt than that.

2) The solution with 1.55 mol of NaCl dissolved in 250 mL of water =>

molar mass of NaCl = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 58.44 g/mol

grams of NaCl = 1.55 mol * (molar mass of NaCl) = 1.55mol * 58.44 g/mol = 90.58 grams of NaCl


grams of water = 250 mL * 1 g/mL = 250 g/g.

Concentration of the solution:  [90.58 g NaCl / 250 g H2O] * 100 = 36.23 %

3) Conclusion: the solution has more salt than the saturation value. This means that the solution is supersaturated.

Supersaturation is a special condition, which is unstable, but that is not part of the questions.

The answer is supersaturated,
