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!

A 425.00-gram sample of a compound decomposes into 196.01 grams of carbon, 41.14 grams of hydrogen, 130.56 grams of oxygen, and
Alenkasestr [34]

The molecular formula is D. C_8H_20O_4Si.

<em>Step 1</em>.Calculate the <em>empirical formula </em>

a) Calculate the moles of each element

Moles of C= 196.01 g C × (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 16.325 mol C  

Moles of H = 41.14 g H × (1 mol H/1.008 g H) = 40.813 mol H

Moles of O = 130.56 g O × (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 8.1650 mol O

Moles of Si = 57.29 g Si × (1 mol Si/28.085 g Si) = 2.0399 mol Si

b) Calculate the molar ratio of each element

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles and round off to an integer

C:H:O:Si = 8.0027:20.008:4.0027:1 ≈ 8:20:4:1

c) Write the empirical formula

EF = C_8H_20O_4Si

<em>Step </em>2. Calculate the <em>molecular formula</em>

EF Mass = 208.33 u

MF mass = 208.329  u

MF = (EF)_n

n = MF Mass/EF Mass = 208.329 u/208.33 u = 1.0000 ≈ 1

MF = C_8H_20O_4Si

How many equivalents are present in 13.5g of Al3+
gogolik [260]
Answer:

= 1.5 eq

Explanation:

One definition of an equivalent weight is that it is mass of a substance that gains or loses 1 mole of electrons.
Al3+ has lost 3 e-, so there are 3 equivalent weights in 1 mol Al3+.

1 mol Al3+ =3 eq. wts.
1 mol Al x(27 g / 1 mol)x(1 mol / 3 eq. wts.) = 9.0 g = 1 eq. wts.

13.5 g Al3 + x (1 eq.wt. / 9.0 g) = 1.5 eq
