Which factor would be most useful predicting the amount of mantle a certain volume of crust will displace

Chemistry
1 answer:
vovangra [49]4 years ago
8 0
Answer:
density of the crust

Explanation:
The displacement of the mantle by the continental or the ocean crust depends on a condition known as <span>isostasy which describes the gravitational equilibrium between both the mantle and the crust of the Earth.
If </span><span>isostasy is not preserved, this would mean that the equilibrium between the crust and the mantle is not maintained and that the crust would displace a volume of mantle.
The amount of mantle to be displaced usually depends on the density of the crust.

Hope this helps :)</span>

An ion of oxygen has a charge of -2. How many protons and electrons does the ion have? ____protons ____electrons
jenyasd209 [6]
Oxygen has 8 protons and 10 electrons due to the addition of 2 electrons, determined from the ion charge. Likewise an ion of potassium has 19 protons and 18 electrons. Charge on fluorine would be -1 and charge on calcium would be +2. Atomic number is the same as the number of protons, so it would be 6, the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons which would be 13, and the charge is 0, as it is an atom and not an ion.

What is the volume, in liters, of 5.500 mol of C3H3 gas at STP
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

123.2 Liters.

Explanation:

At STP (T = 273K & P = 1atm)<em>, one mol of any gas will occupy 22.4 liters</em>.

With the above information in mind, we can <u>calculate how many liters would 5.500 mol of gas occupy</u>:

5.500 mol * 22.4 L / mol = 123.2 L

So 5.500 moles of C₃H₃ would have a volume of 123.2 liters at STP.

Hydrogen fluoride is used:
Simora [160]

Answer: The correct answer is option B)

in the synthesis of cryolite for aluminum production.

Explanation:

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is used in synthesis of cryolite for aluminum production.

HF is a gas that dissolves in water to form hydrofluoric acid. However, HF also react with halogenated alkanes like trichloromethane CHCl3 to form organofluorine compounds that serves as precursors in the synthesis of cryolite, an Ore from which aluminum is produced

while the substance is a liquid at what temperature do the molecules of the substance have the greatest average kinetic energy ​
dalvyx [7]

The molecules of the liquid will be having the greatest average kinetic energy when the temperature of the liquid reaches its boiling point.

<u> Explanation: </u>

Average kinetic energy is the measure of kinetic energy exhibited by the molecules of any substance. It is directly proportionate to the temperature of the substance. According to kinetic molecular theory,

                           k=\frac{3 R T}{2 N_{A}}

As the molecules in solids are mostly closely packed, so they will attain the least kinetic energy of molecules in solid phase. Similarly, the molecules in liquid are slightly loosely packed and on increasing the temperature, the molecules will attain more energy to increase their neighbouring distances.

And when that temperature reaches the boiling point of that liquid substance, the molecules had attained the maximum amount of energy to increase its average kinetic energy to the maximum limit and transferring the liquid molecules to gaseous state.

As the molecules in gas phase are very loosely packed. The starting of the change in the state of molecules from liquid to gas phase on reaching the boiling point indicate the maximum average kinetic energy at that point.

How many moles of water are produced from the reaction of 50. 0g of methane.
Alja [10]

Answer:

Given the balanced equation

CH4 (g) + 2O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)

we know that we'll get one mole CO2 for every 1 mole CH4.  So let's calculate how many moles are in 50 g of CH4 by dividing it's mass by it's molar mass (16 g/mole).  I get 3.125 moles.  The equation says we should get the same number of moles of CO2, so set moles CO2 = 3.125 moles.  Then we can find the mass of CO2 by multipying by the molar mass of CO2 (44 g/mole).  We should expect 138 grams of CO2.
