Which of the following describes the boundaries created by earth's tectonic systems

Chemistry

Dvinal [7]3 years ago

The earth's plates usually move in three different ways resulting in three different types of plate margins/ boundaries: CONVERGENT, DIVERGENT and TRANSFORM plate boundaries.

When plates move towards each other, they collide and this usually either results in the denser of the plates sliding below the other plate or both plates pushing against each other resulting in both plates being pushed upwards to form often times Fold Mountains.  This type of earth tectonics causes a CONVERGENT (destructive; because the collision of the plates results in loss of earth surface area) plate boundary to be formed.

Plates can also pull away from each other and in so doing creating space usually in the form of a fissure between the two moving plates. This fissure usually also for molten earth (magma) rising to the surface and closing the opening between the plates.  This type of earth tectonic is known to form DIVERGENT (constructive; because it usually results in new land being formed) plate margins.

Plates also slide against each other (side to side) thus not resulting in neither the destruction or creation of new land.  This kind of plate margin is known as the TRANSFORM plate boundary.

What is the number of molecules of c2h5oh in a 3m solution that contains 4.00kg h2o?
Veronika [31]
 The number  of C2H5OH  in a 3 m solution that contain 4.00kg H2O is calculate as below

M = moles of the solute/Kg  of water

that is 3M = moles of solute/ 4 Kg
multiply  both side by  4

moles of the  solute  is therefore = 12  moles

by use of Avogadro law constant

1 mole =6.02 x10^23  molecules

what  about 12 moles

=12 moles/1 moles  x 6.02 x10^23 = 7.224 x10^24 molecules

What is used for mixing a small amount of chemicals together?
DENIUS [597]

a thin solid glass rod that is used in chemistry to combine substances. A stirring rod often has rounded ends and is about the length of a long straw.

<h3>What use serves the stirring rod?</h3>

A crucial component of lab apparatus for mixing chemicals and liquids for reactions is a long, thin stirring rod. Stirring rods are made of solid plastic, glass, or steel and are non-abrasive, chemically inert, and chemically resistant.

<h3>What is the name of the glass stirring rod?</h3>

Glass rod, also known as a stirring rod, stir rod, or solid glass rod, is frequently made of quartz and borosilicate glass. Its diameter and length can be modified to meet your needs.

<h3>Does filtration employ stirring rods?</h3>

When the liquid transfer procedure is paused, use a stirring rod to direct the liquid flow into the funnel and stop small amounts of liquid from dribbling down the beaker's outside.

Does acid rain make new substances? Construct an argument that uses data from this investigation as evidence for your claim.
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Acid rain, like all acids, generates dissolution of chemical compounds, and reacts together with bases to be able to carry out oxide reduction reactions, which by deduction is very likely to form new substances as a result of the dissolution or acid erosion caused.

Explanation:

Acid rain is more likely to occur in large cities or large sources of pollution, since the excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes it to increase its partial pressure in a condensed way in the clouds, this is how then this cloud when being loaded with water and then generating the rain drags these masses of condensed carbon dioxide in the form of acid rain.

The degree of acidity is directly proportional to the amount of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

A piece of copper has a volume of 100.0cm^3 (3power) if the mass of the copper is 890g, what is the density of copper??
Bas_tet [7]
Density=mass/volume
Data:
mass=890 g
volume=100 cm³

Density=890 g/100 cm³=8.9 g/cm³

answer: the density of the copper is 8.9 g/cm³
