Answer:

The Plate Tectonic theory

Explanation:

According to the theory of plate tectonics, the earth's lithosphere is comprised of numerous plates which are commonly known as tectonic plates and are mainly of two types, the continental and oceanic crust.

These plates move over a relatively less dense layer of asthenosphere where the rocks flow in response to deformation. This movement of plates is due to the formation of convection current in the mantle and this currents are formed because of the heat supplied from the interior of the earth.

This is the main driving force for the lithospheric plates to move over the layer of asthenosphere.

What is the mass of KOH found in a 785 mL of a 1.43 M solution of KOH
My name is Ann [436]

Molarity is defined as the ratio of number of moles to the volume of solution in litres.

The mathematical expression is given as:

Molarity = \frac{Number of moles}{volume of solution in litres}

Here, molarity is equal to 1.43 M and volume is equal to 785 mL.

Convert mL into L

As, 1 mL = 0.001 L

Thus, volume = 785\times 0.001 = 0.785 L

Rearrange the formula of molarity in terms of number of moles:

Number of moles =molarity\times volume of solution in litres

n = 1.43 M \times 0.785 L

= 1.12255 mole

Now,  Number of moles  = \frac{mass in g}{molar mass}

Molar mass of potassium hydroxide  = 56.10 g/mol

1.12255 mole  = \frac{mass in g}{56.10 g/mol}

mass in g = 1.12255 mole\times 56.10 g/mol

= 62.97 g

Hence, mass of KOH = 62.97 g

Calculate the vapor pressure at 35ºC of a solution made by dissolving 20.2 g of sucrose (C12H22O11)in 60.5 g of water. The vapor
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

P' = 41.4 mmHg → Vapor pressure of solution

Explanation:

ΔP = P° . Xm

ΔP = Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution (P')

Xm = Mole fraction for solute (Moles of solvent /Total moles)

Firstly we determine the mole fraction of solute.

Moles of solute → Mass . 1 mol / molar mass

20.2 g . 1 mol / 342 g = 0.0590 mol

Moles of solvent → Mass . 1mol / molar mass

60.5 g . 1 mol/ 18 g = 3.36 mol

Total moles = 3.36 mol + 0.0590 mol = 3.419 moles

Xm = 0.0590 mol / 3.419 moles → 0.0172

Let's replace the data in the formula

42.2 mmHg - P' = 42.2 mmHg . 0.0172

P' = - (42.2 mmHg . 0.0172 - 42.2 mmHg)

P' = 41.4 mmHg

what term describes when a solvent is holding as much solute in solution as it is able for a given temperature
Serggg [28]
The term that describes when a solvent is holding as much solute in solution as it is able for a given temperature is called supersaturated solution. A little disturbance to this solution some of the solute will crystallize or precipitate out since this solution is not stable.

HELPPP!!! what is the volume (in liters) of a 5.72 gram sample of 02 at STP? (Hint: remember to change grams of oxygen to moles
Alona [7]

Answer:

4L

Explanation:

To obtain the volume of O2 at stp, first, we need to determine the number of mole of O2.

From the question given above,

Mass of O2 = 5.72g

Molar Mass of O2 = 32g/mol

Number of mole =Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of O2 = 5.72/32

Number of mole of O2 = 0.179 mole

Now, we can calculate the volume of O2 at stp as follow:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp.

Therefore, 0.179 mole of O2 will occupy = 0.179 x 22.4 = 4L

Therefore, the volume occupied by the sample of O2 is 4L
