Since the new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, then the Earth is getting bigger.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is true that new crust is being created at the mid-oceanic ridges, but this does not make the Earth any bigger despite the the growth of oceanic crusts in these regions.

The reason that Earth does not get bigger is because the same plates that are being created at the divergent plate boundaries are recycled into the mantle at the subduction zones. Because of this, the surface area of the Earth remains the same.

1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if ______.
Rus_ich [418]
<span>1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypothesis are eliminated. A scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of reasoning without any assumption. For hypothesis to be termed a scientific hypothesis, it has to be something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation.

  2. A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why thing happen in the manner observed is a scientific hypothesis. A primary trait of a hypothesis is that something can be tested and that those tests can be replicated. A hypothesis is often examined by multiples scientists to ensure the integrity and veracity of the experiment. The process can take years, and in many cases hypothesis do not go any further in the scientific method as it is difficult to gather sufficient supporting evidence. </span>

How does increasing and decreasing the temperature affect the kinetic energy of molecules? How does this impact heat
coldgirl [10]

Answer: As the temperature of a molecular system increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increase. Also as the temperature of a molecular system decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules will also decrease.

Explanation:

James Clerk Maxwell developed the kinetic-molecular theory (KMT) of gases. In this theoey, five assumptions concerning an ideal gas was made. One of the them was that," the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the temperature of the gas". This simply means that a s the temperature of a molecular system increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increase. Also as the temperature of a molecular system decreases, the kinetic energy of the molecules will also decrease.

Also another scientist known as Rudolf Clausius incorporated energy into the kinetic theory. He proposed that heat is a form of energy that affects the temperature of matter by changing the motion of molecules in matter.

Heat is defined as the flow of energy which is caused by difference in temperature.

In conclusion, when the temperature of a system is increased, the collision of the molecules with one another and the walls of their container increases as more molecules gain more heat energy at higher temperature. While as the temperature of the system decreases, the collision of the molecules will also decrease as molecules lose heat energy at lower temperature.

Use bond energies to determine δhrxn for the reaction between ethane and chlorine. ch3ch3(g)+cl2(g)→ch3ch2cl(g)+hcl(g)
STALIN [3.7K]
For this reaction to proceed, the following bond breaking should occur: 

*one C-H bond
* one Cl-Cl bond

After, the following bond formations should occur:
*one C-Cl bond
*one H-Cl bond

Now, add the bond energies for the respective bond energies which can be found in the attached picture. For bond formations, energy is negative. For bond breaking, energy is positive.

ΔHrxn = (1)(413) + (1)(242) + 1(-328) + 1(-431) = <em>-104 kJ</em>
