How do distinctive rock layers support the theory of continental drift

1 answer:

8 0

The lithosphere (under the tectonic plates) is semifluid, allowing for the plates above to move over it, causing earthquakes, and essentially continental drift.

The reaction can be described using the equation: 2C2H25O24CO22H2O. How much C2H2is needed to react with 68.1 g of O2to produce

Sophie [7]

Answer:

22.13g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C2H2 + 5O2 —> 4CO2 + 2H2O

Next, we'll calculate the mass of C2H2 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C2H2 = (12x2) + (2x1)

= 24 + 2 = 26g/mol

Mass of C2H2 that reacted from the balanced equation = 2 x 26 = 52g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 that reacted from the balanced equation = 5 x 32 = 160g

Now, we can obtain the mass of C2H2 that will react with 68.1g of O2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

52g of C2H2 reacted with 160g of O2.

Therefore, Xg of C2H2 will react with 68.1g of O2 i.e

Xg of C2H2 = (52x68.1)/160

Xg of C2H2 = 22.13g

Therefore, 22.13g of C2H2 is needed to react with 68.1g of O2

Part 1 Designing an Investigation

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The experimental plan is to measure the values of the dependent variable, which is the temperature of the pizza after it is cooled in each of the heat (temperature) environments, which is the dependent variable, for a given equal period of time, which is the control

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature of the pizza = 400°F

The temperature of the freezer = 0°F

The temperature of the refrigerator = 40°F

The temperature of the countertop = 78°F

Given that the independent variable = The heat to which the hot pizza is subjected

The dependent variable = The temperature to which the pizza cools down

The experiment plan includes;

1) Place the pizza which is at 400°F in each of the different heat environment, which are, the freezer, the fridge, and the counter top, for the same period of time and record the final temperature of the pizza

2) The option that gives the lowest final temperature within the same time frame is the option that will let the pizza cool down fastest.

A 40.2 g sample of a metal heated to 99.3Â°C is placed into a calorimeter containing 120 g of water at 21.8Â°C. The final temper

aliina [53]

Answer:

B) Iron (c=0.45 J/g°C)

Explanation:

Given that:-

Heat gain by water = Heat lost by metal

Thus,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=-m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_f-T_i)$

Where, negative sign signifies heat loss

Or,

$m_{water}\times C_{water}\times (T_f-T_i)=m_{metal}\times C_{metal}\times (T_i-T_f)$

For water:

Mass = 120 g

Initial temperature = 21.8 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

For metal:

Mass = 40.2 g

Initial temperature = 99.3 °C

Final temperature = 24.5 °C

Specific heat of metal = ?

So,

$120\times 4.184\times (24.5-21.8)=40.2\times C_{metal}\times (99.3-24.5)$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=120\times \:2.7\times \:4.184$

$40.2C_{metal}\left(99.3-24.5\right)=1355.616$

$C_{metal}=0.45\ J/g^0C$

<u>This value corresponds to iron. Thus answer is B.</u>

The reaction of NO2 with ozone produces NO3 in a second-order reaction overall.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer : The rate of reaction is,

$Rate=4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

The appearance of $NO_3$ is, $4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$NO_2(g)+O_3(g)\rightarrow NO_3(g)+O_2(g)$
