Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
6 0

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.

Answer:

0.0745 mole of hydrogen gas

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of H₂SO₄ = 0.0745 moles

Number of moles of Li = 1.5107 moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of H₂ produced = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to work from the known specie to the unknown one.

The known specie in this expression is the sulfuric acid,  H₂SO₄. We can compare its number of moles with that of the unknown using a balanced chemical equation.

   Balanced chemical equation:

                    2Li   +     H₂SO₄   →   Li₂SO₄   +   H₂

 From the balanced equation;

     

Before proceeding, we need to obtain the limiting reagent. This is the reagent whose given proportion is in short supply. It determines the extent of the reaction.

           2 mole of Li reacted with 1 mole of  H₂SO₄

          1.5107 mole of lithium will react with \frac{1.5107}{2}  = 0.7554mole of H₂SO₄

But we were given 0.0745 moles,

This suggests that the limiting reagent is the sulfuric acid because it is in short supply;

   

   since 1 mole of sulfuric acid produced 1 mole of hydrogen gas;

    0.0745 mole of sulfuric acid will produce 0.0745 mole of hydrogen gas

Classify each of the four compounds as a conjugated, isolated, or cumulated diene. Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma
Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Conjugated diene is the one that contains alternate double bonds in its structure. That means both the double bonds are separated by a single bond.

Cumulated diene is the one that contains two double bonds on a single atom. This means it has two double bonds continuously.

Isolated double-bonded compound has a single bond isolated by two to three single bonds.

Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma bond.

For example:

-CH_2=CH-CH=CH2-

It is a conjugated diene.

Compound B: Two alkenes are joined by a C H 2 group.

It is a cumulative diene.

Compound C: Two alkenes are joined by C H 2 C H 2.

Then it is an isolated alkene.

Compound D:  A cyclohexene has a double bond between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 3 is an sp 2 carbon that is bonded to another s p 2 carbon with an alkyl substituent.

Hence, compound D is a conjugated diene.
