Answer;

C. seafloor spreading

Explanation;

The theory of seafloor spreading states that new ocean crust is continually being formed, and that this crust is slowly carried away from its point of origin over a period of time.

Paleomagnetism helped explain an unusual observation from the 1950s. Magnetic studies revealed that the ocean floor was comprised of parallel bands of crust having alternating magnetic polarity.These magnetic bands were symmetric about the mid-oceanic ridge.

ubstance A undergoes a first order reaction A®B with a half-life, t½, of 20 min at 25 °C. If the initial concentration of A in a

Stells [14]

Answer : The concentration of A after 80 min is, 0.100 M

Explanation :

Half-life = 20 min

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{20\text{ min}}$

$k=3.465\times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}$

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $3.465\times 10^{-2}\text{ min}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = 80 min

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1.6 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$80=\frac{2.303}{3.465\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.6}{a-x}$

$a-x=0.100M$

Therefore, the concentration of A after 80 min is, 0.100 M
