C. Magma from venus mantle erupted as lava.

Explanation:

A volcano is a land form which results from the eruption of molten rocks (lava) on the surface. Volcanic rocks are a special type of igneous rock that forms when molten rock cools and solidifies on the surface.

For a planet like Venus which is presently not active and little to no movement occurs within the plates, the volcanisim must have occurred when the planet was relatively young and it must have been millions of years ago.

It is widely believed that Venus was geologically active in times past. Mantle generated lava must have solidified on the surface in times past to have formed the volcano.

Evaluating other options:

Impact of space objects on Venus would lead to the formation of a crater which is a depression on the surface. The rock would be mostly metamorphic.

If water was ever present in Venus, they would have produced sedimentary rocks instead. The erosive power of water is not high enough to cut through the crust. Also, water would not aid the formation of volcanoes.

Heat is not enough to from volcanoes. Other factors are also in play.

A vessel that contains a mixture of nitrogen and butane has a pressure of 3.0 atm at 126.9 °C and a pressure of 1.0 atm at 0 °C. The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is 0.33.

A vessel contains a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and butane. At 126.9 °C (400.1 K) the pressure is due to the mixture is 3.0 atm.

We can calculate the total number of moles using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{3.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.091 mol/L \times V$

At 0 °C (273.15 K), the pressure due to the gaseous nitrogen is 1.0 atm.

We can calculate the moles of nitrogen using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{1.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.030 mol/L \times V$

The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is:

$X(N_2) = \frac{0.030 mol/L \times V}{0.091 mol/L \times V} = 0.33$

How many times higher is the concentration of H+ in the Hubbard Brook sample than in unpolluted rainwater?

Anna [14]

Answer:

1. 7 (a neutral solution)

Answer: 10-7= 0.0000001 moles per liter

2. 5.6 (unpolluted rainwater)

Answer: 10-5.6 = 0.0000025 moles per liter

3. 3.7 (first acid rain sample in North America)

Answer: 10-3.7 = 0.00020 moles per liter

The concentration of H+ in the Hubbard Brook sample is 0.00020/0.0000025, which is 80 times higher than the H+ concentration in unpolluted rainwater.

The conversion of mass into huge amounts of energy is the basis of __________.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Nuclear binding energy curve. During the nuclear splitting or nuclear fusion, some of the mass of the nucleus gets converted into huge amounts of energy and thus this massis removed from the total mass of the original particles, and the mass is missing in the resulting nucleus.
