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.

What is the representative particle for an element?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The representative particle for an element is AN ATOM.

Explanation:

Representative particle of a substance refers to the smallest unit of that substance, which can not be broken down into smaller particles. The representative particles of an element is an atom, because each element is made up of atoms, which are the smallest unit of that element; they can not be broken down further.

A representative particle is chemically identical with the parent element and will have all the properties of the parent element.

frozen [14]

All of the above!

By analyzing the remains of fossilized organisms (such as old animal bones or plants), scientists can approximate what the organism might have looked like and the climate/environment it lived in -- and based on that, they can try to figure out how the Earth's surface has changed over time. Also, they can use the fossil to compare it to creatures that live now to see what has changed in that species over time.

Assume at exactly 100.0°c and 1.00 atm total pressure, 1.00 mole of liquid water and 1.00 mole of water vapor occupy 18.80 ml an

Grace [21]

Answer 1) : When we calculate the ΔQ = -40.66 kJ (heat of vaporisation).

Then, we can relate the work done with this equation,

ΔW = -PΔV

First we need to calculate the volume, which will be,

Volume of water vapor = (nRT) / (P)

Then, V = (1 mole) X (0.0821 L X atm/mole X K) X (373.15K) / (1atm) = 30.6 liters So, it is given, and verified.

Volume of Water can be used for finding the; Density = M / V

D = ( 1 mole) X (18.02 g/mole) / (18.80 mL) = 0.9585 g/mL

On, substituting the values, we get,

ΔW = -PΔV

Work = - (1 atm) X (0.00188L - 30.62L) X 0.1013kJ/L X atm = 3.10 kJ

hence the work done is 3.10 kJ

Answer 2) Now, for calculating the internal energy, we can use the formula as,

ΔE = ΔQ + ΔW

Here, we have the values of ΔQ = -40.66 kJ and ΔW as = 3.10 kJ

So, we get, ΔE = (-40.66) + (3.10) = - 37.55 kJ

Therefore, the change in the internal energy will be -37.55 kJ.
