Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.
The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.
The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.

Answer:
XY₂Z₄
2.35 mol Z
Explanation:
A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by <em>dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one</em>.
X: 0.221/0.221 = 1
Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2
Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4
The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.
The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:
0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>
- Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.
- Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:
r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ
<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>
- Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:
r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
Divide r₂ by r₁: [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0
- Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:
r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s
r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s
Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]
2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1
<u>3) Write the rate law</u>
This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.
<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>
With the first set of data
- r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹
Result: the rate constant is K = 0.167 s⁻¹
<span>In a mole of anything, there are 6.023 x 10^23 units. So, in 3.9 moles of sulfur, there are 3.9 * 6.023 x 10^23 = 23 x 10^23 = 2.3 x 10^24 atoms (keeping only 2 sig figs). Hope I help!!
