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 following reaction shows calcium chloride reacting with silver nitrate.

adell [148]

Grams of Ca(NO₃)₂ produced : 0.985 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

CaCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

MW AgNO₃ : 107.9+14+3.16=169.9

mol AgNO₃ :

$\tt \dfrac{2}{169.9}=0.012$

mol ratio Ca(NO₃)₂ : AgNO₃ = 1 : 2, so mol Ca(NO₃)₂ :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.012=0.006$

MW Ca(NO₃)₂ : 40.1+2.14+6.16=164.1 g/mol

mass Ca(NO₃)₂ :

$\tt 0.006\times 164.1=0.985$

Briefly explain why adding salt to icy roads helps melt the ice and prevent it from freezing again.

g100num [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The melting point (the temperature that it changes from solid to liquid) of a pure substance depends on its mass, the forces between its molecules, and the pressure of the system.

The melting point, or the freezing point, of a mixture, is a temperature between the melting point of its components. Salt has a huge negative melting point, so when it is added to the water, the melting point decreases from 0ºC to -21ºC approximately.

So, the water will only freeze again if the temperature becomes below -21ºC which is very difficult to happen.

How many grams of Ca(NO3)2 are needed to make 25.0 g of a 15.0% Ca(NO3)2(aq)?

yarga [219]

Answer:

3.75 g.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em />

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

mass of calcium nitrite = ??? g,

mass of the solution = 25.0 g.

∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100

<em>∴ mass of solute (calcium nitrite) = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100</em> = (15.0 %)(25.0 g)/100 = <em>3.75 g.</em>

Classify the following as a solution, suspension or colloid

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Solution - (a) Brine . Suspension - (c) sand and water, (g) chalk and water Colloid - (e) air, (f) smoke , (d) soda , (b) milk

Explanation:

A solution is an homogeneous mixture of two or more compounds.

A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of two or more compounds while a colloid is a homogeneous mixture of two or more compounds with suspended particles which do not settle.

So, under these definitions, the classifications are as follows-

Solution - (a) Brine .

Suspension - (c) sand and water, (g) chalk and water

Colloid - (e) air, (f) smoke , (d) soda , (b) milk

Cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁O₄N) is a natural substance found in coca leaves, which have been used for centuries as a local anesthetic and st

kondor19780726 [428]

Cocaine is a stimulant substance obtained from the leaves of two Coca species native to South America, Erythroxylum coca and Erythroxylum novogranatense.

Coca is a plant. The leaves of the coca plant are the source of cocaine, which is an illegal that is used nasally, injected, or smoked for mind-altering effects.

Cocaine is also an FDA-approved Schedule II . This means cocaine can be prescribed by a healthcare provider, but the process is strictly regulated.

<h3>What happens when you smoke coca leaves?</h3>

The smoking of coca paste causes four distinct successive phases of mental disorder: euphoria, dysphoria, hallucinosis and paranoid psychosis. It can produce severe intoxication, prolonged or relapsing psychosis and, in some cases, end of life.
