How can gravity's role in tectonic plate motion be described

2 answers:

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.

Calculate the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

Explanation:

Given: Mass = 46 g

Initial temperature = $-25^{o}C$

Final temperature = $100^{o}C$

Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.05 $J/g^{o}C$

Formula used to calculate the energy is as follows.

$q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})$

where,

q = heat energy

m = mass

C = specific heat capacity

$T_{1}$ = initial temperature

$T_{2}$ = final temperature

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$q = m \times C \times (T_{2} - T_{1})\\= 46 g \times 2.05 J/g^{o}C \times (100 - (-25))^{o}C\\= 11787.5 J (1 J = 0.001 kJ)\\= 11.787 kJ$

Thus, we can conclude that the total energy, in kilojoules, that is needed to turn a 46 g block of ice at -25 degrees C into water vapor at 100 degrees C is 11.787 kJ.

expeople1 [14]

<span>No. Zn can only have oxidation states of 1+ or 2+. For this compound to be able to exist, the Zn would have to have an oxidation state of 2- to counteract the 2+ from the 2 sodium ions. Sodium ions each have a +1 charge, so the 2 sodium ions would carry a +2 charge. In order for the compound to exist, the net charge between the 2 sodium and 1 zinc atoms would need to be 0.</span>

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3.00 × 10²³ molecules F₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of F₂ (Diatomic) - 38.00 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 3.00 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ F_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ F_2}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ F_2})(\frac{38.00 \ g \ F_2}{1 \ mol F_2})$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 18.9306 \ g \ F_2$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

18.9306 g F₂ ≈ 18.9 g F₂
