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

1 answer:

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 isostasy which describes the gravitational equilibrium between both the mantle and the crust of the Earth.
If 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 :)

A sample of 508.4 grams of copper completely reacted with oxygen to form 572.4 grams of a copper oxide product. how many grams o

Svet_ta [14]

According to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be destroyed nor created in a chemical reaction. Thus, sum of masses of reactants must be equal to sum of masses of products in a reaction.

The chemical reaction is as follows:

$2Cu+O_{2}\rightarrow 2CuO$

Here, sum of masses of Cu and oxygen gas should be equal to CuO formed.

$2m_{Cu}+m_{O_{2}}=2m_{CuO}$

Thus, mass of oxygen will be:

$m_{O_{2}}=2(572.4-508.4)g=128 g$

This can be further proved as follows:

The balanced chemical reaction is as follows:

$2Cu+O_{2}\rightarrow 2CuO$

Here, 2 moles of Cu completely reacts with 1 mole of $O_{2}$ to give 2 moles of $CuO$ .

Thus, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 0.5 moles of $O_{2}$ .

The mass of Cu is 508.4 and molar mass is 63.546 g/mol, number of moles can be calculated as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{508.4 g}{63.546 g/mol}=8 mol$

Thus, number of moles of $O_{2}$ reacting will be:

$n_{O_{2}}=8\times 0.5 mol=4 mol$

Molar mass of oxygen molecule is 32 g/mol thus, mass can be calculated as follows:

m=n×M=4 mol×32 g/mol=128 g/mol

This satisfies the law of conservation of mass.

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be 81.1 kJ :2CO2(g) + 5 H2(g)C2H2(g) + 4 H2O(g)B

posledela

Answer: The enthalpy of the formation of $CO_2(g)$ is coming out to be -410.8 kJ/mol.Z

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H^o$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2CO_2(g)+5H_2(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_2(g))})+(4\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))})+(5\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_2(g))}=226.7kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=81.1kJ$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$81.1=[(1\times (226.7)})+(4\times (-241.8))]-[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))})+(5\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-410.8kJ/mol$

Hence, the enthalpy of the formation of $CO_2(g)$ is coming out to be -410.8 kJ/mol.

100.0 mL of 3.8M NaCN, the minimum lethal concentration of sodium cyanide in blood serum

9966 [12]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Calculate the number of moles and the mass of the solute in each of the following solution: 100.0 mL of 3.8 × 10−5 M NaCN, the minimum lethal concentration of sodium cyanide in blood serum

Answer: The number of moles and the mass of the solute are $0.38\times 10^{-5}$ and $18.62\times 10^{-5}g$ respectively

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in ml

$3.8\times 10^{-5}M=\frac{n\times 1000}{100.0}$

$n=0.38\times 10^{-5}$

n = moles of $NaCN$ = $\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

$0.38\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x}{49g/mol}$

$x=18.62\times 10^{-5}g$

Thus the number of moles and the mass of the solute are $0.38\times 10^{-5}$ and $18.62\times 10^{-5}g$ respectively
