In ridge push, the mantle wells upward because of the convection and elevates the edges of spreading oceanic plates. Because these plates are higher at the spreading center, they are forced downhill due to <em>gravity</em> and eventually flatten out to the ocean floor.

One of the main driving force for tectonic plate motion is gravity.

The subduction is the process where under gravity the oceanic lithosphere dives beneath another plate and thats how one plate meets another plate.This sink of oceanic lithosphere is responsible for dragging of rest of the tectonic plates. This is how the plates move.

How many formula units are there in 212 grams of mgCl2
AleksandrR [38]

Formula units are there in 212 grams of MgCl₂ are 830.56

Formula is the empirical of any ionic or covalent network solid compound used as an independent entity for stoichiometric calculations and it is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound

Here given data is

MgCl₂ = 212 grams

1 mole of magnesium chloride has mass = 95.211 gram and contains 6.022×10²³formula units of magnesium chloride

Here 212 grams×6.022×10²³form unit of MgCl₂/95.211 gram = 830.56

Thomas has 235 grams of K2S in the chemistry lab. How many atoms of potassium (K) are in 235 grams of the compound?
iVinArrow [24]

The  number of atoms  of K that are in 235 g  of the compound  is

2.57 x10^24 atoms


 calculation

Step 1:  find the moles of K2S

= moles = mass/molar mass

=  235 g/110 g/mol= 2.136  moles

Step 2: multiply  2.136 moles  by no. of K atoms in K2S

= 2.136  x2 = 4.272 moles


Step 3: use the Avogadro's  law to determine number of K atoms

that is according to Avogadro's law  1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23  atoms

                                                            4.272 moles= ? atoms

by cross multiplication

= (4.272  moles x 6.02 x10^23 atoms)  / 1 mole = 2.57 x10^24 atoms
