What is the formula of a compound if a sample of the compound contains 0.492 mol X, 0.197 mol Y, and 0.295 mol Z?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

X₅Y₂Z₃

Explanation:

The formula of a compound is determined as the whole number ratio between moles of each element present in the molecule.

The molecule is made from X, Y and Z. To fin the ratio we will divide the given moles in the moles of Y (0.197 moles), because is the element with the low number of moles.

X = 0.492 moles / 0.197 moles = 2.5

Y = 0.197 moles / 0.197 moles = 1

Z = 0.295 moles / 0.197 moles = 1.5

But, as the formula is given just with whole numbers, if we multiply each number twice:

X = 2.5*2 = 5

Y = 1*2 = 2

Z = 1.5*2 = 3

The formula is:

<h3>X₅Y₂Z₃</h3>

If one end of an iron bar is heated, what causes thermal energy to transfer to the other end? a radiation b conduction c heat of
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Option B:

Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat from one molecule to another between two solids that are in direct contact with each other. For the conduction of heat to occur, the medium involved must be solid. This is because the molecules of solids are closely packed together and they cannot freely move about. The heat flowing through them can easily be passed on from one molecule to the other until it reaches all the parts of the object. This is exactly what will happen to the iron bar. Thermal energy from one end of the bar will get transferred between the molecules of the iron bar until it reaches the other end.

Convection on the other hand involves the transfer of heat through a liquid medium.

Radiation involves teh transfer of heat in a vacuum.

The pressure atop the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, is usually about 33.6 kPa. Convert the pressure to atmospheres. H
melomori [17]

Answer: 0.33 atm

The pressure at Mount Everest is less as compared to pressure at seal level.

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas is defined as the force exerted by the particles on the walls of the container. It is expressed in various terms like 'mmHg', 'atm', 'kiloPascals' etc..

All these units of pressure are inter convertible.

We are given:

Pressure atop the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest = 33.6 kPa mmHg

Converting this unit of pressure into 'atm' by using conversion factor:

1kPa= 0.0099 atm

33.6kPa=\frac{0.0099}{1}\times 33.6=0.33atm

Thus the pressure atop the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, is 0.33 atm

Standard sea-level pressure is 1 atmosphere.

Thus 0.33 atm at Mount Everest is less than 1 atm at sea level.

Explain the relationship between the plate tectonics and volcanoes
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the theory of plate tectonics, Earth is an active planet. Its surface is composed of many individual plates that move and interact, constantly changing and reshaping Earth's outer layer. Volcanoes and earthquakes both result from the movement of tectonic plates. Plates sliding past each other cause friction and heat. Subducting plates melt into the mantle, and diverging plates create new crust material. Subducting plates, where one tectonic plate is being driven under another, are associated with volcanoes and earthquakes.
