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.

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?

lord [1]

Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution.

A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water).

The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

Equation describing the change in freezing point:

ΔT = Kf · b · i.

ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.

Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.

b - molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).

i - Van’t Hoff Factor.

Dissociation of sodium chloride in water: NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

A weak bond called a ______ bond results from an attraction between a slightly positive region in a molecule and a slightly nega

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: The weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, $CH_4$ etc..

They are of two types:

Polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond.

In this bond, a dipole is created. More electropnegative atom will have a slight negative charge and less electronegative atom will have a slight positive charge. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..

Non-polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc..

Hence, the weak bond having slightly positive region and a slightly negative region is polar covalent bond.

a patient is to receive 25 mg of methimazole, a drug used to treat hyperthyroid conditions. the drug is dissolved in solution co

Rainbow [258]

The drug has a concentration of 6 mg per 1 ml. Therefore, to know that number of ml containing 25 grams, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
amount of drug = (25 x 1) / 6 = 4.1667 ml

Therefore, for the patient to receive 25 mg of methimazole, he/she should take 4.1667 ml of the drug solution.

The effectiveness of a chemical sanitizer can be limited by

Serjik [45]

Chemical sanitizer effectiveness, decreases with increase in pH . And most soap and detergent are alkaline in nature, that limits its effectiveness. So they should be rinsed off completely for proper effectiveness of santizer. So improper rinsing limits the effectiveness of a sanitizer.

So , the answer is improper rinsing after that still a detergent residue remains limits the effectiveness of sanitizer.

Some amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) breaks down to produce 3 molecules of oxygen (O2) and 6 molecules of water (H2O). How ma

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$Atoms_H=12Atoms$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the only source of hydrogen is in the 6 molecules of water, therefore, the atoms of hydrogen, by applying stoichiometry with the Avogadro's number is:

$Atoms_H=6moleculesH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{6.022x10^{23}moleculesH_2O}\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}AtomsH}{1molH} \\Atoms_H=12Atoms$

Best regards.
