When mantle rocks near the radioactive core are heated, they become less dense than the cooler, upper mantle rocks. These warmer

rocks rise, while the cooler rocks sink. This movement of warmer and cooler mantle rocks creates pockets of circulation within the mantle called _________, which are thought to be the force behind the movement of tectonic plates over the asthenosphere.
A) magma flows

B) density cells

C) convection cells (currents)

D) conduction points

Balance the combustion eqation; __C5H + __O2 ---&gt; __CO2+__H2O
stira [4]
This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to  balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

A solid rubber ball with a mass of 5.9 grams sank in water. A hollow rubber ball with the same mass floats in water. Explain why
Stells [14]

Answer:

The hollow ball is more buoyant than the solid ball.

Explanation:

The hollow ball will float while the solid ball sinks because the volume of water displaced by the hollow ball is more than that displaced by the solid ball.

An object floats when it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight.  A solid ball is more compact, and hence, does not displace a lot of water when dropped into a bowl full of water. On the other hand, the hollow ball will have a larger curved surface area, since it has no fill. This will make it displace a larger volume of water and hence make it float.

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?
lord [1]

Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution.

A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water).

The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

Equation describing the change in freezing point:  

ΔT = Kf · b · i.

ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.

Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.

b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).

i - Van’t Hoff Factor.

Dissociation of sodium chloride in water: NaCl(aq) →  Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
