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.

Answer:

3,29L

Explanation:

3.29L = V2

Formula: V1/T1 = V2/T2

--------------------

Given:

V1 = 3.0 L V2 = ?

T1 = 310 K T2 = 340 K

--------------------

Plugin:

(X stands in place of V2 just to make it easier to look at)

[3.0L / 310K = X / 340K]

(3.0L / 310K = 0.01L/K)

0.01L/K = X / 340K

(multiply 340K on both sides, it cancels out on the right)

0.01L/K * 340K = X

(0.01L/K * 340K = 3.29L)

**3.29L = X**

[or]

**3.29L = V2**

1) A potassium carbonate hydrate has a formula K2CO3.XH2O. 10g of the hydrate leave 7.83g of anhydrous salt upon heating. Deduce

OLEGan [10]

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is K₂CO₃.2H₂O

Based on the calculated mass ratio of carbon and oxygen in carbon dioxide, carbon has a fixed composition.

<h3>What are hydrated compounds?</h3>

Hydrated compounds are compounds that contain one or more molecules of water physically combined with a molecule of the compound.

The formula of the hydrated potassium carbonate salt is determined as follows:

Mass of the hydrated sample = 10.0 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 7.83

mass of water = 10 - 7.83

mass of water = 2.17 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0 g

Molar mass of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 138 g

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate in sample = 7.83/138

moles of anhydrous potassium carbonate = 0.056 moles

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 2.17/18

moles of water in the hydrated salt = 0.12

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 0.12/0.056

Mole ratio of water to anhydrous salt = 1 : 2

Formula of hydrated salt = K₂CO₃.2H₂O

The mass ratio of carbon to oxygen in the compounds is given below:

Sample 1:

Mass ratio = 3.62 / (13.26 - 3.62)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 2:

Mass ratio = 5.91 / (21.66 - 5.91)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Sample 3:

Mass ratio = 7.07 / (25.91 - 7.07)

Mass ratio = 0.38 : 1

Carbon has a fixed composition.

The idea that the earth is divided into a number of small plates that float on the mantle and slide,collide,and slip past each o

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Theories

Explanation:

It is theories because it was a generalistee abstract or thinking generalising the principle of fact about Earth tectonic plates ,it was formulated and concluded as plate tectonic theories after many findings. The theories conclude that the Earth has an outer layer called lithosphere and lies overly a plastic layer called asthenosphere. The lithosphere is divided into several plates and they move close to each other where they diverge, converge or slip over one another.

The rate of reaction was measured during a chemical reaction. After the first 3 seconds, the rate of reaction was 1.8 x10-6 M/s.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

The rate would be lower and the concentration of reactants would be lower.

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the rate constant and the concentration of reactants.

For Ex:

For a reaction experimentally given by A + B ----> C + D

Rate = k[A][B]

where k is the rate constant

[A] = concentration of reactant A

[B] = concentration of reactant B

As the reaction proceeds,the concentration of reactant decrease and concentration of products increase.Rate constant k depends only on temperature and activation energy.Hence it will remain constant throughout the reaction assuming that reaction is carried out at constant temperature and pressure.

Hence rate will depend only on concentration of reactants and hence decrease with decrease in concentration of reactants.

Explain in your own words the interplay of temperature (heat) and intermolecular forces and the effect of these two variables on

DochEvi [55]

The forces between particles are called intermolecular forces. A strong intermolecular force means that the particles are tightly paced and is associated with the solid phase. Moderate intermolecular force is associated with the liquid state and little to no intermolecular force is associated with the gaseous state. Temperature has a direct effect on the state of matter in which the substance exists has. Generally speaking, a rise in tempreature changes a substance from the solid to liquid phase and from liquid to gaseus phase. The reverse is true, if the temperature lowers then the substance will go from gas to liquid and liquid to solid. It is important to not that temperature affects intermolecular forces. As the temperature increases then the individual particles become excited and gain enough energy to over the intermolecular forces and so the particles seperate from each other.
