Suppose the plates beneath Earth's surface stopped moving.What do you think would happen?Explain your answer.

1 answer:

5 0

There would be no more earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as the earth's plate are the cause of both these occurrences.(which can be seen as a positive)
However, the plates allow the earth to cool when they move because they cause heat loss.If the plates were to stop moving the earth would have to loose heat another way and since we cant tell how this would happen, it could be very dangerous.

Water is produced from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gas, according to the equation below. What is the excess reactant in

liq [111]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of Oxygen to Hydrogen gas = 1 : 2.

If we use 3.0 moles of oxygen gas, we would need 3.0 * 2 = 6.0 mol of hydrogen gas.

However we only have 4.2 mol of hydrogen. Therefore hydrogen is limiting and oxygen is in excess. (B)

Air, with an initial absolute humidity of 0.016 kg water per kg dry air, is to be dehumidified for a drying process by an air co

amid [387]

Answer:

(a) The proportion of dry air bypassing the unit is 14.3%.

(b) The mass of water removed is 1.2 kg per 100 kg of dry air.

Explanation:

We can express the proportion of air that goes trough the air conditioning unit as $p_{d}$ and the proportion of air that is by-passed as $p_{bp}$ , being $p_{d}+p_{bp}=1$ .

The amount of water that goes into the drier inlet has to be 0.004 kg/kg, and can be expressed as:

$0.004 = 0.016*p_{bp}+ 0.002*p_{d}$

Replacing the first equation in the second one we have

$0.004 = 0.016*(1-p_{d})+ 0.002*p_{d}=0.016-0.016*p_{d}+0.002*p_{d}\\0.004 - 0.016 = (-0.016+0.002)*p_{d}\\-0.012 = -0.014*p_{d}\\p_{d}=\frac{-0.012}{-0.014}=0.857\\\\p_{bp}=1-p_{d}=1-0.857=0.143$

(b) Of every kg of dry air feed, 85.7% goes in to the air conditioning unit.

It takes (0.016-0.002)=0.014 kg water per kg dry air feeded.

The water removed of every 100 kg of dry air is

$100 kgDA*0.857*0.014 kgW/kgDA= 1.1998 \approx 1.2 kgW$

It can also be calculated as the difference in humiditiy between the inlet and the outlet: (0.016-0.004=0.012 kgW/kDA) and multypling by the total amount of feed (100 kgDA).

100 * 0.012 = 1.2 kgW

What are two ways that atoms of different elements are different?

marishachu [46]

Answer:Explanation:Protons and other subatomic particles will be discussed a little later. The atoms of different elements are different from each other because they have different numbers of protons. The graphic below illustrates this point by showing the atoms of two elements in the containers of oxygen and hydrogen.
