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 <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>

Cu+2AgNO

baherus [9]

Answer:

Mass of Ag produced = 64.6 g

Note: the question is, how many grams of Ag is produced from 19.0 g of Cu and 125 g of AgNO3

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

From the equation above, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 2 moles of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag and 1 mole of Cu(NO3)2.

Molar mass of the reactants and products are; Cu = 63.5 g/mol, Ag = 108 g/mol, AgNO3 = 170 g/mol, Cu(NO3)2 = 187.5 g/mol

To determine, the limiting reactant;

63.5 g of Cu reacts with 170 * 2 g of AgNO3,

19 g of Cu will react with (340 * 19)/63.5 g of AgNO3 =101.7 g of AgNO3.

Since there are 125 g of AgNO3 available for reaction, it is in excess and Cu is the limiting reactant.

63.5 g of Cu reacts to produce 108 * 2 g of Ag,

19 g of Cu will react to produce (216 * 19)/63.5 g of Ag = 64.6 g of Ag.

Therefore mass of Ag produced = 64.6g

it takes 513 kj to remove a mole of electrons from the atoms at the surface of a piece of metal. how much energy does it take to

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The right solution is " $8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule$ ".

Explanation:

As we know,

1 mole electron = $6.023\times 10^{23} \ no. \ of \ electrons$

Total energy = $513 \ KJ$

= $513\times 1000 \ joule$

For single electron,

The amount of energy will be:

= $\frac{513\times 1000}{(6.023\times 10^{23})}$

= $8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule$

The bulb lights up in the circuit. Only two rods are conductors of electricity. Which one of the rods, X, Y or Z is definitely a

meriva

Answer: Rod X.

Explanation:

Ok, the electricity starts in the top left part. First, it must travel in the X rod, then it keeps traveling until it reaches the parallel path, and it can go to the Z rod, to the Y rod, or to both of them, and then it reaches the bulb (the circle with a X inside of it).

We know that two rods are conductors of electricity.

Now, suppose the case where rods Z and Y are the ones that conduct electricity, this means that X does not conduct electricity, then when the current reaches to X it stops (because X does not conduct) then the electricity never reaches the rods Z and Y, and then the electricity never reaches the bulb, but we know that the bulb lights up, so we must have that X is one of the conducting rods.

Then, if for example, Y does not conduct electricity, the electricity still can run through the Z rod and eventually reach the bulb.

So we can conclude that the rod that is definitely a conductor of electricity is rod X
