What was the major weakness of Wegener's theory of continental drift

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
6 0

Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory  in four reasons. One, he hypothesized that the continents were once a giant continent. Two, he observed that there are fossils found of the same kind in the different locations. Three, he found that the edge of opposing continents somehow fits if they are combined, almost like a puzzle. And four, there are glacial scars that are left behind by a larger glacial continent. His greatest weakness of Alfred Wegeners’ continental drift theory was he could not explain what kind of force that caused this continents to move far from each other.

HELPP ME PLEASE!! What would be the density of a 40 g object that displaces 10 ml of water?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4.0 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 40 g

volume = 10 mL

The density of the object is

density =  \frac{40}{10}  = 4 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.0 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Calculate the equilibrium constant at 25 ∘C for the reaction Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1.7 × 10 ^42

Explanation:

Using Nernst equation

E°cell = RT/nF Inq

at equilibrium

Q=K

E°cell  = 0.0257 /n Ink= 0.0592/n log K

Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s)     E∘= −0.45 V

Ag+aq)+e−→Ag(s)         E∘= 0.80 V

Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)

balance the reaction

Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻  reversing for oxidation E° = 0.45 v

2 Ag⁺ +2e⁻ → 2Ag

n = 2 moles  and K = equilibrium constant

E° cell = 0.80 + 0.45 = 1.25 V

E° cell = (0.0592 / n) log K  

substitute the value into the equations and solve for K

(1.25 × 2) / 0.0592  = log K

42.23 = log K

k = 10^ 42.23

K = 1.7 × 10 ^42

Entropy can be thought of as the degree of disorganization of a system.<br> TRUE<br> FALSE
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The entropy of a system denoted by S is a thermodynamic function that increases in value when there are more ways to arrange the particles in the system. Some spontaneous chemical processes are entropy driven. An increase in entropy is said to drive the dissolution of ionic salts along with the evaporation of water are related to the spreading out of energy.

The entropy of a system can be taken as a measure of disorder of a system. In a spontaneous chemical process, the entropy of the universe is said to increase. ΔSunivu>0. Making the answer true.

What is the complete ionic equation for NaOHaq plus HCIaq equals H2OI plus NaCIaq?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)   →  H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)    →  H₂O(l)

The  Cl⁻(aq)  and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
