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 rotameter calibration curve (flow rate versus float position) obtained using a liquid is mistakenly used to measure a gas flow

Veronika [31]

Answer:

I would expect the gas rate determined in this manner to be too low

Explanation:

A Rotameter can be designed to respond to the sensitivity of density, velocity, to measure the flow rate of liquid or gas enclosed in a tube. Liquids are denser than gas, and since the gas rate to be determined needed to respond to the velocity head alone of the rotameter so as to bring the forces in the tube equilibrium. Knowing if there is no flow, then the float would remain at the bottom, so gas has to flow at a higher rate compared to the liquid so the float would be in a similar position making it easier to measure the flowrate. This leaves the gas rate to be determined too low.

How many liters of O2 at 298 K and 1.00 bar are produced in 1.50 hr in an electrolytic cell operating at a current of 0.0200 A?

stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.0069L

Explanation:

2H2O(l) ---->O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e-

no of moles= it/eF

NO of moles of O2 produced = (Current in Ampere x Time in second)/ (Faraday constant x Number of electrons required)

Moles of O2 produced = (0.02x (60 x 60X1.5 s)/(96485 x 4)

= 0.0002798 moles= 2.798x 10 ^-4moles

Using ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

Where, P is the pressure,

V is the volume,

n is the number of moles,

R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature

We have, 1 bar = 0.986923 atm

Substituting the values,

V = nRT/P = (2.798 x 10-4moles x 0.08205 L atm mol K x 298 K)/ 0.986923 atm = 0.0069L

Volume of O2 produced = 0.0069L

Describe the trend in electronegativity of the elements ?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group. As a result, the most electronegative elements are found on the top right of the periodic table, while the least electronegative elements are found on the bottom left.
