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

Chemistry

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

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.

The diagram shows an animal cell.
vovangra [49]

Answer : The correct option is 'X' (mitochondria).

Explanation :

In the given animal cell diagram,

W represent the vacuole.

X represent the mitochondria.

Y represent the nucleolus.

Z represent the cytoplasm.

The function of vacuole, it stores waste products and balance the pH level of the cell.

The function of mitochondria, most of the respiration reaction occurs in which carbon dioxide is produced by utilizing oxygen.

The function of nucleolus, it contains the hereditary information.

The function of cytoplasm, most of the chemical reaction occurs.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'X' (mitochondria).

A student observes the combustion (burning) of propane (C3H8). Because of the heat and light it generates, the student concludes
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The student's conclusion is not correct

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. All reactions require there activation energy to be met before the reaction can proceed. When the temperature of a reaction is increased, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases; colliding more with each other, which makes them "surmount" the activation energy of the reaction faster as compared to a lower temperature.

In combustion, there is burning of an hydrocarbon (in this case propane) in excess oxygen. The burning assists in increasing the kinetic energy of the reactant particles which in turn easily surmounts the activation energy of the reaction  by colliding (effective collision) more with oxygen. So, the reaction has an activation energy but the activation energy has been met and passed and hence the reaction is proceeding faster.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction is one of the ways of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction.

What type of chemical reaction is C6H6 + CI2 = C6H5CI + HCI
elixir [45]

for it to be balanced in this case would be " <em>4</em> C6H6 + <em>6</em> CI2 = <em>3</em> C6H5CI + <em>9</em> HCI" therefore it's be a <u>Double Replacement</u>
