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

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.


The diagram below helps to solidify the points made above.

Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how
telo118 [61]

Question:

Sulfuric acid was once produced through the reaction of sulfur trioxide with water. Sulfur trioxide can form through the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen gas. When nitrogen monoxide gas is added to the system, the reaction speeds up significantly because it proceeds through the following steps:

equations

Identify the catalyst in this reaction, explain how you know it is the catalyst, and describe how it increases the rate of the reaction.

Answer:

NO

It is present but not consumed

NO Lowers the activation energy of the reaction

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that is present in a chemical reaction and enables the reaction to occur at a faster rte but does not take part n the reaction

Therefore, whereby NO is not consumed, it is the catalyst

It functions by lowering the activation energy

Does SiF4 have polar covalent bonds?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

SiF4 is not a polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine's are arranged around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out.

You determine the volume of your plastic bag (simulated human stomach) is 1.08 L. How many grams of NaHCO3 (s) are required to f
dsp73

Answer:

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 753.5 mmHg = 0.9914 atm

(1 atm = 760 mmHg)

V = Volume of gas = 1.08 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 24.5 °C= 297.65  K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.9914 atm)\times 1.08 L=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 297.65K\\\\n=0.0438 mole

Percentage recovery of carbon dioxide gas =  49.4%

Actual moles of carbon dioxide formed: 49.4% of 0.0438 mole

\frac{49.4}{100}\times  0.0438 mol=0.02164 mol

2NaHCO_3\righarrow Na_2CO_3+H_2O+CO_2

According to reaction ,1 mol is obtained from 2 moles of sodium bicarbonate.

Then 0.02164 moles f carbon dioxide will be obtained from:

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.02164 mol=0.04328 mol

Mass of 0.04328 moles pf sodium bicarbonate:

0.04328 mol × 84 g/mol = 3.636 g

3.636 grams of sodium bicarbonate is required.

Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity? beryllium iodine calcium nitrogen
juin [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom or element which has the ability to readily gain an electron will have high electronegativity.

Both Beryllium and Calcium are alkaline earth metals and hence they are electropositive in nature.

Whereas both iodine and nitrogen are electronegative in nature. But across the period there is an increase in electronegativity and down the group there is a decrease in electronegativity.

Nitrogen belongs to period 2 and iodine belongs to the bottom of group 17. Thus, we can conclude that nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine.
