Answer: A. Frequent earthquakes may occur volcanic activity may be common.

When the plates of the continents and oceans collides, the thin and dense oceanic plate submerged under the thick and less dense continental plate. This process is called as subduction. As the oceanic plate submerged down the earth crust it is exposed to the hot magma. The melting of the subducted plate occurs and this results in the high intensity volcanic eruption and frequent earthquakes.

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?

mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, $ClO^-$

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1$

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

What is 786,000 in scientific notation

o-na [289]

The scientific form is $a\times 10^x \left \{ {{a\ \textgreater \ 0} \atop {a\ \textless \ 10}} \right.$ So, the form of scientific notation is $786,000 = 7.86 \times 10^5$

Use standard reduction potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 2Cr3+(aq) + Pb(s)2Cr2+(aq) + Pb2+(aq)

inn [45]

Answer:

3.47 ×10^-10

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is 2Cr3+(aq) + Pb(s)------->2Cr2+(aq) + Pb2+(aq)

A total of two moles of electrons were transferred in the process. The chromium was reduced while the lead was oxidized. Hence the lead species will constitute the oxidation half equation and the chromium will constitute the reduction half equation.

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

E°cathode = -0.41 V

E°anode = -0.13 V

E°cell = -0.41 -(-0.13) = -0.28 V

From

E°cell = 0.0592/n log K

n= 2, K= the unknown

-0.28 = 0.0592/2 log K

log K = -0.28/0.0296

log K = -9.4595

K = Antilog ( -9.4595)

K= 3.47 ×10^-10

Cytoplasm is a mixture of what two things?

alexira [117]

In cell biology, the cytoplasm is the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the cell nucleus. It comprises cytosol (the gel-like substance enclosed within the cell membrane) and the organelles – the cell's internal sub-structures. All of the contents of the cells of prokaryote organisms (such as bacteria, which lack a cell nucleus) are contained within the cytoplasm. Within the cells of eukaryote organisms the contents of the cell nucleus are separated from the cytoplasm, and are then called thenucleoplasm. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and usually colorless.[1]

It is within the cytoplasm that most cellular activities occur, such as many metabolic pathways including glycolysis, and processes such as cell division. The concentrated inner area is called the endoplasm and the outer layer is called the cell cortex or theectoplasm.

Movement of calcium ions in and out of the cytoplasm is a signaling activity for metabolic processes.[2]

In plants, movement of the cytoplasm around vacuoles is known as cytoplasmic streaming.
