Explain how the processes that occur at mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches illustrate the cycling of matter.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

At one end, new crusts are being produced, at other end the crust is being destroyed and this strikes a unique balance.

At the mid-ocean ridges, the lithospheric plates are diverging. This is implies that the earth is pulling apart here. When the earth is pulling apart, new materials from the asthenosphere comes to the surface thereby creating new lithospheric plate.

As new plates are formed, they push back against the old one. New plates are found very close to the margin and it begins to age away from the margin.

On the other end, old plates are taken away from this center to ocean trenches. At oceanic trenches subduction is occurring.

In a subduction, the lithospheric plate plunges deep into the asthenosphere where they are being melted back.

This is a covergent margin.

This process continues in a dynamic manner to cycle matter on earth.

A sample of wine consists of water, sugar, some amount of ethyl alcohol, and grape juice. These ingredients blend together unifo
NeTakaya

Answer: The sample of wine could be described as numbers 1, 3 & 4

Explanation:

It is a mixture because it is the physical combination of two or more substances

It is a homogeneous mixture because any solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample is regarded as a homogeneous mixture

It is a solution because it is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances

20.352 mL of chlorine under a pressure of 680. mm Hg are
Lunna [17]

Answer:

0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 20.352 mL

P1 (initial pressure) = 680mmHg

P2 (final pressure) = 1210mmHg

V2 (final volume) =.?

Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the volume of the container can be obtained as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

680 x 20.352 = 1210 x V2

Divide both side by 1210

V2 = (680 x 20.352)/1210

V2 = 11.44mL

Now we need to convert 11.44mL to L in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:

1000mL = 1 L

11.44mL = 11.44/1000 = 0.01144L

Therefore the volume of the container is 0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound
Temka [501]

The amount per 100 g is:

38.7 % calcium = 38.7g Ca / 100g compound = 38.7g

19.9 % phosphorus = 19.9g P / 100g compound = 19.9g

41.2 % oxygen = 41.2g O / 100g compound = 41.2g

The molar amounts of calcium, phosphorus and oxygen in 100g sample are calculated by dividing each element’s mass by its molar mass:

Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96

P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64

O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.57

C0efficients for the tentative empirical formula are derived by dividing each molar amount by the lesser value that is 0.64 and in this case, after that multiply wih 2.

Ca = 0.96 / 0.64 = 1.5=1.5 x 2 = 3

P = 0.64 / 0.64 = 1 = 1x2= 2

O = 2.57 / 0.64 = 4= 4x2= 8

Since, the resulting ratio is calcium 3, phosphorus 2 and oxygen 8

<span>So, the empirical formula of the compound is Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂
