What evidence did Alfred Wagner have to support his idea of continental drift

1 answer:

8 0

Alfred Wagner's evidence began at the simplest form that the continents appeared to fit together like pieces to a puzzle. It wasn't only that though. The evidence showed that the same rocks and fossils existed on separate continents - the same continents that if pieced together would be connected.

What size volumetric flask would you use to create a 1.00M solution using 166.00 g of KI?

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A 1 liter volumetric flask should be used.

Explanation:

First we convert 166.00 g of KI into moles, using its molar mass:

Molar mass of KI = Molar mass of K + Molar mass of I = 166 g/mol

166.00 g ÷ 166 g/mol = 1 mol KI

Then we calculate the required volume, using the definition of molarity:

Molarity = moles / liters

Liters = moles / molarity

1 mol / 1.00 M = 1 L

Determine the molality of a solution of methanol dissolved in ethanol for which the mole fraction of methanol is 0.135. Give you

Alja [10]

Answer: The molality of the solution is 0.11 m

Explanation:

We are given:

Mole fraction of methanol = 0.135

This means that 0.135 moles of methanol is present in 1 mole of a solution

Moles of ethanol = 1 - 0.135 = 0.865 moles

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of ethanol = 0.865 moles

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

$0.865mol=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{46g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.865mol\times 46g/mol}=39.79g$

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (methanol) = 0.135 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (methanol) = 32 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 39.79 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of methanol}=\frac{0.135\times 1000}{32\times 39.79}\\\\\text{Molality of methanol}=0.106m\approx 0.11m$

Hence, the molality of the solution is 0.11 m

As temperature decreases, rate decreases.

As temp increases, k also increases.

The arrow shows that the bond between the chlorine atom and the fluorine atom is nonpolar. The electrons in the bond are pulled more strongly by the fluorine atom, and the chlorine atom is slightly positive.

Explanation:

The bond between Chlorine and fluorine is nonpolar bonding because both of them are sharing an equal number of electrons in the bond. H2, F2, and CL2 are common examples of this.

Chlorine and fluorine are electronegative molecules but Fluorine is above chlorine in the periodic table. Since fluorine is above Chlorine, fluorine has slightly highest electronegative nature compare to fluorine. This is the reason why Fluorine molecules are attracting electrons more than chlorine atoms. This making chlorine atoms slightly positive in Cl and F bonding.
