Answer: normal fault

A fault refers to a planar or curved fracture in the rocks of the Earth crust, in which compressional or tensional forces results in the displacement of the rock on the opposite side of the fracture. Fault may vary in the length of the fracture. A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall of the rock moves downward to the footwall. It occurs when the two blocks of rock are separated apart by the tensional forces.  

On the basis of the above information, the normal fault is the fault that should be found by the geologists in the rock.

Answer:

normal fault

Explanation:

In geology, faults are places where there are discontinuities in the volume of rocks or the ground, they can be caused by several different reasons the largest faults are created in places where two tectonic plates meet and collide, a normal fault happens when the hangin wall moves downward from the footwall at an angle.

Sulfur reacts with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide (SO2(g), Hf = –296.8 kJ/mol) according to the equation below.
Pavel [41]
Given that the reactants are the very consituents (elements)  of the final compound, the enthalpy change of this reaction is the same  heat of formation, Hf.

That means that the enthalpy chage for the reaction is -296.8 kj/mol

How many grams of Na2SO4 should be weighed out to prepare 0.5L of a 0.100M solution?​
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

7 gram of Na2SO4 should be required to prepare 0.5L of a 0.100 M solution.

Explanation:

First of all the molecular weight of Na2SO4 is 142.08 gram.Now we all know that if the molecular weight of a compound is dissolved in 1000ml or 1 litee of water then the strength of that solution becomes 1 M.

    According to the given question we have to prepare 0.100 M solution

1000 ml of solution contain 142.08×0.1= 14.208 gram Na2SO4

1    ml of solution contain     14.208÷1000= 0.014 gram

0.5L or 500ml of solution contain 0.014×500= 7gram Na2SO4.

 So it can be stated that 7 gram of Na2SO4 should be required to prepare 0.5L of a 0.100M solution.
