Heptane is always composed of 84.0% carbon and 16.0% hydrogen. This illustrates the "law of definite proportions".
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Proust's law states that every chemical compound used to made up of element constituents with constant proportions in terms of its mass and also independent from its sources and synthesis method. In 1779, Joseph Proust gave other names to the Proust's law as, the law of composition or definite proportions or constant compositions.
This can understood from given example like: Oxygen is composed of 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water while the hydrogen fills up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. The basis of stoichiometry is structured with the law of multiple proportions along the law of definite proportions.
The correct matches are as follows:
<span>Troposphere
A) Layer closest to the Earth where all weather occurs
Mesosphere
</span>C) temperature remains constant as elevation increases<span>
Mesopause
</span>D) temperature remains at a constant zero degrees Celsius as elevation increases<span>
Stratosphere
</span>E) begins between 50-60km and decreases in temperature as elevation increases <span>
Stratopause
</span> B) temperature increases as elevation increases
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Mantle convection
Explanation:
The driver of moving plates is the mantle convection.
Convection is a heat transfer process that involves the movement of fluids from one place to another.
How does convection occur in the mantle?
- Part of the mantle known as the asthenosphere is a hot liquid. It moves slowly and does not readily flow.
- Over riding the asthenosphere is the brittle lithosphere made up of the upper mantle and the entirety of the crust.
- The asthenosphere is at a higher temperature compared to the lithosphere on top.
- In order to achieve stability and thermal equilibrium, the asthenosphere rises to the surface whereas the dense and cold lithosphere sinks down.
- This way a convective cell is set up.
- Hot materials rises to the surface because they are light whereas cold materials on the surface sinks into the asthenosphere.
- Through this the plates moves.

· free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only forceacting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.
