Igneous rocks are found where plates diverge, as lava rises and fills the gap between the plates. Igneous rocks also form where plates converge. The subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the Earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes.
<span>The action that researchers take to make advances in science would be conducting experiments to test their hypothesis. By doing such, they are able to know whether the hypothesis is true or not. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives

= 46.66 g of MgO.
The mass is conserved, so it stays the same, 450g
Answer: The volume is 57.52 mL if the temperature if raised to 343K.
Explanation:
Given:
= 27 mL,
= 161 K
= ?,
= 343 K
According to Charles law, at constant pressure the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to temperature.
Formula used is as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that volume is 57.52 mL if the temperature if raised to 343K.
