Describe how you would create a model of sea-floor spreading using everyday materials

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elodia [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Take a cardboard, cylinder-shaped container and cut a vertical slit about 3 ½ inches long and ¼ inch wide down the side. The slit is your mid-ocean ridge, the place where the plates are moving away from each other.

Cut a piece of white paper in half lengthwise.

On each piece of paper, measure two inches in from the end and fold the paper so that there is a section on each end to hold onto.

Measure inward another two inches from the fold, and color in that two-inch wide strip.

Continue to measure in two-inch segments, coloring every other section.

Place the unfolded ends of the paper into the slit in the container. Holding them by the folds, pull the pieces of paper out again. If you imagine that the slit is the midocean ridge where the plates are moving away from each other, the paper is the new liquid rock coming out from the ridge. The first bit of paper to come out is the oldest rock, and the last section of paper to come out is the youngest. Imagine that your paper goes on forever. Soon, the first bit you took out of the hole will be far away from the midocean ridge. Of course, “soon” in geological time is a very long time in human terms!

Take your pieces of paper and tape the ends that aren’t folded to the pencil.

Put the pencil inside of the container and pull the ends of the pieces of paper up through the slit.

Twist the pencil one way, and the papers will move out and away from each other. This is what happens at a divergent plate boundary on the mid-ocean ridges.

Twist the pencil the other way, and the papers will move in and toward each other. This is what happens at a convergent plate boundary. Imagine what would happen if those papers had bumps on them. They’d get all bunched together at the hole, and create mountains.

For each solution, determine the p-values for each ion indicated. A solution that is 0.493 M in NaCl and 0.314 M in NH 4 Cl .
miss Akunina [59]

Complete Question:

Ions to calculate the p-values: Na⁺, Cl⁻, and NH₄⁺

Answer:

pNa = 0.307

pCl = 0.093

pNH₄ = 0.503

Explanation:

The p-value is calculated by the antilog of the concentration of the substance of interest. For example, pH = -log[H⁺]. Thus, first, let's find the ions concentration.

Both substances are salts that solubilize completely, thus, by the solution reactions:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

NH₄Cl → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

So, for both reactions the stoichiometry is 1:1:1 and the concentration of the ions is equal to the concentration of the salts.

[Na⁺] = 0.493 M

[Cl⁻] = 0.493 + 0.314 = 0.807 M

[NH₄⁺] = 0.314 M

The p-values are:

pNa = -log[Na⁺] = -log(0.493) = 0.307

pCl = -log[Cl⁻] = -log(0.807) = 0.093

pNH₄ = -log[NH₄⁺] = -log(0.314) = 0.503

There are three competing factors at play here: 1. The effective nuclear charge 2. The size of the atom and the force of attract
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

These three factors are required for ionization potential or ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization potential refers to the amount of energy which is required for the removal of outermost electron of the atom. If the atom size is big so the outermost electron is far from the nucleus and low energy is required for its removal due to lower force of attraction between nucleus and outermost electron. If the nuclear charge is higher, so the electron is tightly held by the nucleus and require more energy for its removal. Nuclear charge means number of protons present in the nucleus.

Determine whether the disruption of the bonds or attractions occurs during protein hydrolysis or protein denaturation.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The disruption of the bonds or attractions occurs during protein hydrolysis which results in the loss for the primacy structure. The peptide bonds is the bond affected in this scenario.

The disruption of the bonds however only exist in the process of denaturation and this results in a change in the confirmation which could be secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structural related. And example of the bonds affected include salt bridges, disulfide bridges, hydrogen bonds etc.
