Answer:

asthenosphere

Explanation:

Aesthenosphere is the uppermost part of the mantle and it is a region known for it high viscosity. The aesthenosphere is like a thick and heavy liquid. The next layer above the aesthenosphere is the lithosphere.

The aesthenosphere is what drive convection and plate tectonic . Convection talks about when less dense material rises and more dense material sinks.

The aesthenosphere through convection allows the lithospheric plate to move on it and this is what causes deformation and ductility of various rock bodies. This region plays a major role in plate tectonic as they determine how the plate are been separated into different parts.

This aesthenosphere is the region were molten magma migrate to the earth surface. The molten magma might erupt through volcano to the earth surface due to pressure .

Hello!

Your answer is A, asthenosphere

<u>The asthenosphere is a part of the mantle</u>. It helps move the plates in the Earth.

It is <u>below the lithosphere,</u> between <u>80 and 200 km</u> below the surface.

Therfore, the asthenosphere is <u>the part of the mantle that is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid.</u>

<u />

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

What are the resulting coefficients when you balance the chemical equation for the combustion of ethane, c2h6? in this reaction,
Vitek1552 [10]

Balance equation for combustion of ethane will be:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

To balance the equation:

1. Balance the number of carbon atom on both side:

C₂H₆(g) + O₂(g)--------> CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

1. balance the number of carbon on both side, as in reactant there are 2 but in product one,

so , multiply the CO₂, by 2 in the product.

2. Balance the number of hydrogen on both side as in reactant the number of hydrogen is 3 but in product it is 6 so, multiplythe number of  H₂O by 3,

so multiply the number of  H₂O by 3 in product.

3. Balance the number of oxygen on both side , as 1 and 2 step increases the number of oxygen and it becomes 7 , so to balance the number of oxygen on both side by mutiplying the  number of  O₂ by 7/2 in reactant .

4. Now, doubling the equation will give balance equation that is:

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g)--------> 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

An inflatable toy starts with 1.05 moles of air and a volume of 5.17 liters. When fully inflated, the volume is 8.00 liters. If
padilas [110]

Answer:-  1.62 moles

Solution:- At constant temperature and pressure, volume is directly proportional to the moles of the gas.

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}

from given data, V_1 = 5.17 L, n_1 = 1.05 moles

V_2 = 8.00 L, n_2 = ?

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

\frac{5.17L}{8.00L}=\frac{1.05moles}{n_2}

On cross multiply:

n_2=\frac{8.00L(1.05moles)}{5.17L}

n_2 = 1.62 moles

So, now the toy contains 1.62 moles of the air.
