What geologic action may produce a chain of volcanic islands

Chemistry
2 answers:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a hot spot

Explanation:

Volcanic island chains are formed independently of the movements of tectonic plates. They are found above the hot spots caused by the mantle. Currents of hot materials from the mantle pierce a path through the crust, creating a chain of hot spot volcanoes. They form volcanoes that produce highly fluid lava that build the flat volcanoes of the shield. Example: Mauna loa, Hawaii.

The chains of volcanic islands can be found mostly alongside the borders of the convergent plate boundaries, more specifically, on the convergent boundaries between an oceanic and continental tectonic plates. That can easily be seen by the so called ''Ring of Fire'' where there's numerous chains of volcanic islands

Why is oxygen diflouride a gas at room temperature?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Oxygen is a simple molecular structure, where individual oxygen atoms are bonded to each other by strong covalent bonds. Hence, a low amount of energy is required to overcome these weak forces and oxygen has a low boiling point. Therefore, at room temperature, oxygen is a gas. Oxygen difluoride is a colorless gas, condensable to a pale yellow liquid, with a slightly irritating odor. It is the most stable of the compounds of fluorine and oxygen, which include O,F,, O,F, and 0,F2 but nevertheless it is a strong oxidizing and fluorinating agent. Oxygen Difluoride is a colorless gas or a yellowish-brown liquid with a foul odor. Just to finally link Joseph's answer to the question, oxygen difluoride will thus change from liquid to solid state when chilled from -220°c to -230°c. The boiling point of oxygen is -182.96 degrees Celsius (under 1 standard atmosphere). This means at temperatures below that point, oxygen is a solid or a liquid, and at temperatures above that point, oxygen is a gas. So at -183 degrees Celsius, oxygen is a liquid.

g Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.71 g of ethane i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

6.05g

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Ethane + oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water

2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the reaction above;

2 mol of ethane reacts with 7 mol of oxygen.

To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,

2,71g of ethane;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 2.71 / 30 = 0.0903 mol

3.8g of oxygen;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 3.8 / 16 = 0.2375 mol

If 0.0903 moles of ethane was used, it would require;

2 = 7

0.0903 = x

x = 0.31605 mol of oxygen needed

This means that oxygen is our limiting reagent.

From the reaction,

7 mol of oxygen yields 4 mol of carbon dioxide

0.2375 yields x?

7 = 4

0.2375 = x

x = 0.1357

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.1357 * 44 = 6.05g
