C: One plate is going underneath the other plate and sinking into the soft rock below.

Explanation:

Where plates are moving towards each other they are said to converging, and are called convergent margins.

The lithosphere is broken into series of slabs called plates. The plates moves on the weak and relatively soft asthenosphere below.

Plates have different motion. At some places, they move apart and they are said to be divergent.

When plates moves towards each other, they are convergent. At a convergent margin, a plate collides with another thereby causing the denser plate usually the oceanic plate to subduct into the asthenosphere. In some other cases, the plates can collide and build upward.

The freezing-point depression of a 0.100 m MgSO4 solution is 0.225°C. Determine the experimental van't Hoff factor of MgSO4 at t

Andrews [41]

Answer: The experimental van't Hoff factor is 1.21

Explanation:

The expression for the depression in freezing point is given as:

$\Delta T_f=iK_f\times m$

where,

i = van't Hoff factor = ?

$\Delta T_f$ = depression in freezing point = 0.225°C

$K_f$ = Cryoscopic constant = 1.86°C/m

m = molality of the solution = 0.100 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.225^oC=i\times 1.86^oC/m\times 0.100m\\\\i=\frac{0.225}{1.86\times 0.100}=1.21$

Hence, the experimental van't Hoff factor is 1.21

Lewis Diagrams- Grade 10 Chemistry Please can someone explain this to me?

natita [175]

Lewis diagram:
well first you have to know the Valence electrons the elements which will on top of the periodic table.

for examples:
H2O
it will be O-H-O and the dots will on top. oxygen have 6 valence electrons so that mean it need 6 dots. also for H it will have 7 V-electrons.

Which element would mostly have chemical properties similar to that of magnesium (Mg)?

DanielleElmas [232]

The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.

Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.

They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration

The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2

The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are

$[Ne]3s^{2}$ and $[Ar]4s^{2}$ respectively.

A scientist observed a 5-mL sample of an unknown substance. It is a blue liquid with a density of 1.2 g/cm. the substance reacts

LenaWriter [7]

Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.

Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.

Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

List of the properties observed by the scientist:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Property                                     Type of property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Volume: 5 ml                              non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Color: blue                                 non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
State: liquid                                characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
density: 1.2 g/cm                        characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
Reaction: reacts with CO2         characteristic
