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

Which of the following characteristics would make a gas non-ideal?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

A. The gas molecules possess kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The characteristics of the Ideal gases are given by the Kinetic Theory of gases which are as follows:-

Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion. They continue in a straight line until they collide with something—usually each other or the walls of their container.

Particles are point masses with no volume. The particles are so small compared to the space between them, that we do not consider their size in ideal gases.

No molecular forces are at work. This means that there is no attraction or repulsion between the particles.

Gas pressure is due to the molecules colliding with the walls

cylinder contains 250 g of Helium at 200 K. The external pressure is constant at 1 atm. The temperature of the surroundings is l
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The system gains 126100 J

Explanation:

The heat can be calculated by the equation:

Q = nxCxΔT, where Q is the heat, C is the heat capacity,n is the number of moles and ΔT is the variation of temperature (final - initial). The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass, so:

n = 250/4 = 62.5 mol.

The system must be in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, so if the temperature of the surroundings decreased 97 K, the temperature of the system increased by 97 K, so ΔT = 97 K

Q = 62.5x20.8x97

Q = 126100 J

Iodine-123, which is used for diagnostic imaging in the thyroid, has a half-life of 13 hours. If 50.0 mg of I-123 were prepared
cupoosta [38]

Answer: 12.5 mg

Explanation:

The half-life of Iodine -123 is 13 hours.

Between 8 am on Monday and 10 am on Tuesday will be 26 hours.

After the first 13 hours, the Iodine should be left with half of its initial quantity

= 50/2

= 25 mg

There are now 13 hours remaining meaning that the Iodine will be half of the 25mg after that period.

= 25/2

= 12.5 mg.

12.5 mg remain at 10 am the next day.

Please do react or comment if you need any clarification or if the answer helped you. This would help other users as well. Thank you.
