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.

In which substance does phosphorus have a +3 oxidation state
andrew-mc [135]
Options are as follow,

A. P₄O₁₀
B. PCl₅
C. Ca₃(PO₄)₂
<span>D. KH</span>₂PO₃

Answer;
            The correct option is Option-D (KH₂PO₃).

Explanation:
                   Oxidation number of Phosphorous is calculated as,

As the normal oxidation number of K is +1, H is +1 and O is -2 so,

                                       KH₂PO₃  =  0

0 shows that the molecule is neutral. Now puttion values of all elemnts except P,
 
                                  (+1) + (+1)₂ + P + (-2)₃  =  0

                                  +1 + 2 + P - 6  =  0

                                  +3 + P - 6  =  0

                                  +3  + P  =  +6

                                  P  =  +6 - 3

                                  P  =  +3

Explain the changes that take place at the molecular level when a substance is superheated or supercooled ?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Only gas or vapor can be superheated. Use water as an example. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees F. When heated to 212 degrees F, the molecules that make up water are moving at a high enough speed that they overcome the air pressure above the water. And for supercooled only liquids or solids can be supercooled for example Liquid water at sea level has a saturation (boiling) temperature of 212 degrees F. If we were to add heat to the saturated water, it would first boil away with no change in temperature (remember latent heat?) and then become superheated if still more heat were added to the vapor (steam) after it had all turned to a vapor.

How many grams of product might form for the following reaction if 33.8 L of Oxygen gas is used in the following reaction? LiCl
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

91.41 g of LiClO₃.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of O₂ that occupied 33.8 L. This can be obtained as follow:

22.4 L = 1 mole of O₂

Therefore,

33.8 L = 33.8 L × 1 mole / 22.4 L

33.8 L = 1.51 mole of O₂

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction.

2LiCl + 3O₂ —> 2LiClO₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of LiClO₃.

Therefore, 1.51 mole of O₂ will react to produce = (1.51 × 2)/3 = 1.01 mole of LiClO₃.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 1.01 mole of LiClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of LiClO₃ = 1.01 mole

Molar mass of LiClO₃ = 7 + 35.5 + (3×16)

= 7 + 35.5 + 48

= 90.5 g/mol

Mass of LiClO₃ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of LiClO₃ = 1.01 × 90.5

Mass of LiClO₃ = 91.41 g

Thus, 91.41 g of LiClO₃ were obtained from the reaction.
