Answer : option B) Gravity acting on the edges of plates and friction between the plate and the asthenosphere.

Explanation : The gravitational force acting on the edges of the tectonic plates raise a friction between the plate and the asthenosphere, which results into the motion of the tectonic plates.

Usually, the tectonic plates are found to move because of the intense heat produced from the Earth's core which causes the molten rock in the mantle layer to move and make a motion. It moves in a pattern which is called as convection cell that forms when the warm material rises, and cools, later eventually sink down producing the motion in the tectonic plates.

Does it take more, less, or the same amount of heat to melt 1.0 kg of ice at 0°C, or to bring 1.0 kg of liquid water at 0°C to t

Murljashka [212]

Answer : It takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Solution :

The process involved in this problem are :

$(1):H_2O(s)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(0^oC)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(0^oC)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(100^oC)$

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed in both processes.

<u>For process 1 :</u>

$Q_1=m\times \Delta H_{fusion}$

where,

$Q_1$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water or ice = 1.0 Kg

$\Delta H_{fusion}$ = enthalpy change for fusion = $3.35\times 10^5J/Kg$

Now put all the given values in $Q_1$ , we get:

$Q_1=1.0Kg\times 3.35\times 10^5J/Kg=3.35\times 10^5J$

<u>For process 2 :</u>

$Q_2=m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

$Q_2$ = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 1.0 Kg

$c_{p,l}$ = specific heat of liquid water = $4186J/Kg^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $0^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $100^oC$

Now put all the given values in $Q_2$ , we get:

$Q_2=1.0Kg\times 4186J/Kg^oC\times (100-0)^oC$

$Q_2=4.186\times 10^5J$

From this we conclude that, $Q_1$ that means it takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Hence, the it takes less amount of heat to metal 1.0 Kg of ice.

Leave the answer blank if no precipitate will form. (Express your answer as a chemical formula.) Formula of precipitate ZnCl2(aq

Rasek [7]

Answer:

1. Zn(OH)₂ (s)

2. Ag₂CO₃ (s)

3. Ni₃(PO₄)₂(s)

4. No reaction

5. (NH₄)₂CO₃(s)

Explanation:

Let's state the equations and we analyse some solubility and precipitation information:

ZnCl₂(aq) + 2KOH(aq) → Zn(OH)₂ (s) + 2KCl (aq)

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble.

The OH⁻ reacts to Zn cation in order to produce a precipitate. This is ok, but if the base is in excess, the Zn(OH)₂ will be soluble

K₂CO₃(aq) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Ag₂CO₃ (s) ↓ + 2KNO₃(aq)

All salts from nitrate are soluble

All salts from carbonates are insoluble

2(NH₄)₃PO₄(aq) + 3Ni(NO₃)₂(aq) → Ni₃(PO₄)₂(s) ↓ + 6NH₄NO₃(aq)

Salts from phosphates are insoluble

All salts from nitrate are soluble

NaCl(aq) + KNO3(aq) → NO REACTION

All salts from nitrate are soluble

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble

Na₂CO₃(aq) + 2NH₄Cl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + (NH₄)₂CO₃(s) ↓

All salts from carbonates are insoluble

All the salts from the halogens with group 1, are soluble

Maya prepared 0.50 liters of a solution by dissolving 2.0 moles of an unknown compound in water. What is the molarity of the sol

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

4 M

Explanation:

Molarity can be represented by the following ratio:

Molarity = moles / volume (L)

Since you have been given both the mass and volume, you can plug the values into the equation and solve for molarity.

Molarity = moles / volumes

Molarity = 2.0 moles / 0.50 L

Molarity = 4 M
