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.

Luden [163]

Answer:

C. Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55, followed by Tin at 1.96, Silicon at 1.90 and the least electronegative would be Lead at 1.87.

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction at 25 ∘C. Standard enthalpy of formation values can be found in this lis

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=-2043.999kJ$

Explanation:

$\Delta H_{rxn}^{0}=\sum [n_{i}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(product)_{i}]-\sum [n_{j}\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(reactant_{j})]$

Where $n_{i}$ and $n_{j}$ are number of moles of product and reactant respectively (equal to their stoichiometric coefficient).

$\Delta H_{f}^{0}$ is standard heat of formation and $\Delta H_{rxn}^{0}$ is standard enthalpy change for reaction at $25^{0}\textrm{C}$

So, $\Delta H_{rxn}=[3mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(CO_{2})_{g}]+[4mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(H_{2}O)_{g}]-[1mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(C_{3}H_{8})_{g}]-[5mol\times \Delta H_{f}^{0}(O_{2})_{g}]$

or, $\Delta H_{rxn}=[3mol\times -393.509kJ/mol]+[4mol\times -241.818kJ/mol]-[1mol\times -103.8kJ/mol]-[5mol\times 0kJ/mol]$

or, $\Delta H_{rxn}=-2043.999kJ$

Given the following reaction: 2K3PO4 + AL2(CO3)3 = 3K2CO3 + 2ALPO4 If I perform this reaction with 150 g of potassium phosphate

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer : The theoretical yield of potassium carbonate is, 146.483 g

The percent yield of potassium carbonate is, 85.33 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of $K_3PO_4$ = 150 g

Mass of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ = 90 g

Molar mass of $K_3PO_4$ = 212.27 g/mole

Molar mass of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ = 233.99 g/mole

Molar mass of $K_2CO_3$ = 138.205 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $K_3PO_4$ and $Al_2(CO_3)_3$

$\text{ Moles of }K_3PO_4=\frac{\text{ Mass of }K_3PO_4}{\text{ Molar mass of }K_3PO_4}=\frac{150g}{212.27g/mole}=0.7066moles$

$\text{ Moles of }Al_2(CO_3)_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Al_2(CO_3)_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }Al_2(CO_3)_3}=\frac{90g}{233.99g/mole}=0.3846moles$

The given balanced reaction is,

$2K_3PO_4+Al_2(CO_3)_3\rightarrow 3K_2CO_3+2AlPO_4$

From the given reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react with 1 mole of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$

0.7066 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react with $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.7066=0.3533$ moles of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$

But the moles of $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ is, 0.3846 moles.

So, $Al_2(CO_3)_3$ is an excess reagent and $K_3PO_4$ is a limiting reagent.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $K_2CO_3$ .

As, 2 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react to give 3 moles of $K_2CO_3$

So, 0.7066 moles of $K_3PO_4$ react to give $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.7066=1.0599$ moles of $K_2CO_3$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $K_2CO_3$ .

$\text{ Mass of }K_2CO_3=\text{ Moles of }K_2CO_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }K_2CO_3$

$\text{ Mass of }K_2CO_3=(1.0599moles)\times (138.205g/mole)=146.483g$

The theoretical yield of potassium carbonate = 146.483 g

The experimental yield of potassium carbonate = 125 g

Now we have to calculate the % yield of potassium carbonate.

Formula for percent yield :

$\% yield=\frac{\text{ Theoretical yield}}{\text{ Experimental yield}}\times 100$

$\% \text{ yield of }K_2CO_3=\frac{125g}{146.483g}\times 100=85.33\%$

Therefore, the % yield of potassium carbonate is, 85.33%
