Heat and pressure deep in the earth change shale to slate. Why does this happen?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because of the ground above and the molten iron core.

Explanation:

As you go deeper into the earth you have more and more of the earth above you that applies pressure on you. The heat near the very top of the plate is relatively low and it decreases by a little as you go down. But once you start to go down into the earth by hundreds of meters then the temperature starts to rise and it rises pretty quickly due to the heat being transferred from the molten iron outer core of the earth.

A student plans a two-step synthesis of 1-ethyl-3-nitrobenzene from benzene. The first step is nitration of benzene to give nitr
arlik [135]

Answer:

Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Explanation:

The benzene ring in itself does not easily undergo electrophilic substitution reaction. Some groups activate or deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions.

-NO2 ia a highly deactivating substituent therefore, Friedel-Crafts alkylation of nitrobenzene does not take place under any conditions.

This reaction scheme is therefore flawed because Nitrobenzene is too deactivated (by the nitro group) to undergo a Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

How many joules of heat is lost when a 64 g piece of copper cools from 375 oC to 26 oC? The specific heat of copper is 0.38 J/go
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 8500 J lost or -8500 J

Explanation:

q=cmt

t=375-26

t=349

q=0.38(64)(349)

q=8487.68 J

Answer must have 2 sig figs, which means it rounds to 8500 J.

How many liters of hydrogen are required to react completely with 2.4L of oxygen to form water? 2H2 + O2 --&gt; 2H2O
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

2.4 mole of oxygen will react with 2.4 moles of hydrogen

Explanation:

As we know

1 liter = 1000 grams

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

Weight of H2 molecule = 2.016 g/mol

Weight of water = 18.01 gram /l

2 mole of oxygen react with 2 mole of H2

2.4 mole of oxygen will react with 2.4 moles of hydrogen
