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

1 answer:

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.

calculate the difference in slope of the chemical potential against temperature on either side of the normal freezing point of w

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

(a) The normal freezing point of water (J·K−1·mol−1) is $-22Jmole^-^1k^-^1$

(b) The normal boiling point of water (J·K−1·mol−1) is $-109Jmole^-^1K^-^1$

(c) the chemical potential of water supercooled to −5.0°C exceed that of ice at that temperature is 109J/mole

Explanation:

Lets calculate

(a) - General equation -

$(\frac{d\mu(\beta )}{dt})p-(\frac{d\mu(\alpha) }{dt})_p$ = $-5_m(\beta )+5_m(\alpha )$ = $-\frac{\Delta H}{T}$

$\alpha ,\beta$ → phases

ΔH → enthalpy of transition

T → temperature transition

$(\frac{d\mu(l)}{dT})_p -(\frac{d\mu(s)}{dT})_p$ = $= -\frac{\Delta_fH}{T_f}$

= $\frac{-6.008kJ/mole}{273.15K}$ ( $\Delta_fH$ is the enthalpy of fusion of water)

= $-22Jmole^-^1k^-^1$

(b) $(\frac{d\mu(g)}{dT})_p-(\frac{d\mu(l)}{dT})_p= -\frac{\Delta_v_a_p_o_u_rH}{T_v_a_p_o_u_r}$

= $\frac{40.656kJ/mole}{373.15K}$ ( $\Delta_v_a_p_o_u_rH$ is the enthalpy of vaporization)

= $-109Jmole^-^1K^-^1$

$[\mu(l-5$ ° $C)-\mu(l,0$ ° $C)]$ = $[\mu(s-5$ ° $C)-\mu(s,0$ ° $C)]$ $=-S_m$ ΔT

$\mu(l,-5$ ° $C)-\mu(s,-5$ ° $C)=-Sm\DeltaT [\mu(l,0$

$\Delta\mu=(21.995Jmole^-^1K^-^1)\times (-5K)$

= 109J/mole

A dry mixture of KNO3 and sand could be separated by

Tatiana [17]

Place the mixture in hot water and stir well.
The KNO3 is very soluble in hot water. 
Use a fine filter paper and filter off the sand. 
The sand will be separated from the KNO3 solution. 
The water can now be evaporated from the solution by further, gentle heating leaving the solid in the container.
