Why do California and Peru both have large deposits of gold?

1 answer:

3 0

Both California and Peru have or have had significant gold deposits because of their proximity to where two tectonic plate boundaries meet. Off the California coast there is the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate which meet at the San Andreas Fault but there also is the Farallon Plate which apparently has subducted somewhat below the North American Plate. Off Peru, the Nazca Plate is subducting under the South American Plate and which has caused the Andean orogeny.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.3 miles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Distance of 22,704 feet

We are required to determine the number of miles in 22,704 feet

To convert one unit to another we use conversion factors
Therefore, we need to know the suitable conversion factor.
That is, 1 mile/5,280 feet
Thus, to determine the number of miles we multiply the number of feet with the conversion factor.

That is;

= 22,704 feet × 1 mile/5,280 feet

= 4.3 miles

Therefore, there are 4.3 miles in 22,704 feet

A technician needs 500.0mL of a 0.500 M MgCl2 solution for some lab procedures. The stock bottle is labeled 4.00 M MgCl2. What v

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to obtain the number of moles of the solute we desired to prepare;

Number of moles = molarity x volume

Parameters given;

volume of solution = 500mL = 0.5L

molarity of solution = 0.5M

Number of moles = 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25moles

Now to know the volume stock to take;

Volume of stock = $\frac{number of moles }{molarity}$

molarity of stock = 4M

volume = $\frac{0.25}{4}$ = 0.0625L or 62.5mL

Name one way igneous rock is different from metamorphic rock.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Metamorphic rock is classified by texture and composition. The texture of a metamorphic rock can be either foliated and appear layered or banded, or non-foliated and appear uniform in texture without banding. Foliated rocks contain many different kinds of minerals, but non-foliated rocks contain only one main mineral, which contributes to their more uniform appearance. Igneous rocks are classified according to mode of occurrence, texture, mineralogy, chemical composition, and the geometry of the igneous body.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{0.603 mol}}$

Explanation:

We must do the conversions

mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of O₂

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 180.16

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ⟶ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

m/g: 18.1

(a) Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

$\text{Moles of C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} = \text{18.1 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}{\text{180.16 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}\\\\= \text{0.1005 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}$

b) Moles of O₂

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} =\text{0.1005 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}} = \text{0.603 mol O}_{2}\\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.603 mol}}$ of oxygen}$

How many moles of BaSO4 are formed if 0.5 moles of Na2 SO4 react with 60 g of BaCl2? Na2 SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl

faust18 [17]

the balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ ----> 2NaCl + BaSO₄
stoichiometry of Na₂SO₄ to BaCl₂ is 1:1
first we need to find out which the limiting reactant is
limiting reactant is fully used up in the reaction.

number of Na2So4 moles - 0.5 mol number of BaCl2 moles - 60 g / 208 g/mol = 0.288 mol
since molar ratio is 1:1 equal number of moles of both reactants should react with each other

therefore BaCl2 is the limiting reactant and Na2SO4 is in excess. amount of product formed depends on number of limiting reactant present.
stoichiometry of BaCl₂ to BaSO₄ is 1:1.

therefore number of BaSO4 moles formed - 0.288 mol
