Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related

Chemistry

AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago

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.

How many equivalents are present in 10 g of Ca2+? <br> 1 <br> 0.5 <br> 1.5 <br> 2
Lynna [10]

0.5

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Ca²⁺ = 10g

unknown:

Equivalent weight = ?

Solution:

Equivalent weight that is the amount of electrons which a substance gains or loses per mole.

Ca²⁺ has +3 charge

It lost 2e⁻;

therefore;

  In 1 mole of  Ca²⁺, we have 2 equivalent weight

1 mol  Ca²⁺ = 2eq. wts. 

1 mol Ca x (40 g / 1 mol ) x (1 mol / 2 eq.wts.) = 20.0 g = 1 eq.wt. 

Therefore;

10.0 g  Ca²⁺ x (1 eq.wt. / 20.0 g) = 0.5 eq.wts.

Neutralizing an olympic size swimming pool is conceptually very similar to performaing a massive titration experiment. Suppose a
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

6,97x10⁻³ gallons

Explanation:

pH is defined as:

pH = -log [H⁺]

Thus, you need to have, in the end:

10⁻⁷ = [H⁺]

And you have, in the first:

10^{-9,33} = [H⁺]

The volume of swimming pool is:

700'000 galllons ×\frac{3,78541 L}{1 gallon} = 2649787 L

Thus, the moles of H⁺ in the first and in the end are:

First:

10^{-9,33}mol/L × 2649787L = 1,24x10⁻³ moles

End:

10^{-7}mol/L × 2649787L = 0,265 moles

Thus, the moles of H⁺ you need to add are:

0,265 - 1,24x10⁻³ = <em>0,26376 moles</em>

These moles comes from 10M HCl, thus, the volume in gallons you need to add are:

0,26376moles*\frac{1L}{10moles}* \frac{1gallon}{3,78541L} =

<em>6,97x10⁻³ gallons</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
