Chemistry

ElenaW [278]2 years ago

Answer:

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes seismic waves to be released, causing the ground to shake.

Earthquakes are caused by movement in the tectonic plates(known as plate tectonics).

This usually happens in plate boundaries(where one plate meets another), due to the pressure that builds up as the plates try to move, since tectonic plates are constantly moving

Answer:

Aqueous layer (1 M HCI)

Explanation:

First of us I want to remind you of the cliché in chemistry that like dissolves like. In solvent extraction, a mixture is dissolved in a system consisting of two immiscible solvents. One layer is organic while the other layer is aqueous.

Polar substances partition in the aqueous layer while nonpolar substances partition in the organic layer.

Since Copper sulfate is ionic, we will find it in the aqueous layer according to the old chemistry cliche.
