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.

You observe mothballs disappearing in cabinets. What do you think is the reason for this? Do all substances behave like mothball

cricket20 [7]

Answer: Mothballs have weak intermolecular forces.

No all substances do not behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform

Explanation:

Sublimation is a process of converting a substance from solid state to gaseous state without the formation of liquid at constant temperature.

A substance which undergoes sublimation is called as sublimating substance.

As mothballs is made of napthalene which has weak inter molecular forces of attraction between its molecules, it directly sublimes into gaseous state without leaving any residue and is called as a sublimating substance.

Not all substances behave like mothballs at normal conditions. Example: benzene , chloroform

The reaction of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas is what type of reaction precipitation single replacement

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The reaction of hydrogen gas (H2) with oxygen gas (O2) is a COMBINATION or SYNTHESIS reaction, because multiple substances combine to form fewer substances. Here, the two gases form one substance, water (H2O):
2H2 + O2 -- > 2H2O

Balance the following redox reaction occurring in an acidic solution. The coefficient of Mn2+(aq) is given. Enter the coefficien

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

_5_ AsO2−(aq) + 3 Mn2+(aq) + _2_ H2O(l) → _5_ As(s) + _3_ MnO4−(aq) + _4_ H+(aq)

Explanation:

Step 1:

The unbalanced equation:

AsO2−(aq) + 3 Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

The above equation can be balanced as follow:

There are 3 atoms of Mn on the left side of the equation and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of MnO4− as shown below:

AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

There are 12 atoms of O on the right side and a total of 3 atoms on the left side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of AsO2− and 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of H+ as shown below:

5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + 4H+(aq)

There are 5 atoms of As on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of As as shown below:

5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 5As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + 4H+(aq)

Now the equation is balanced

NeTakaya

Isotope atoms mean, atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons in their nuclei . The given oxygen atoms are isotopes meaning they have different number of neutrons in their nuclei . Oxygen 16 have 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus but Oxygen has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. That's what make them different.
