Which theory of plate movement relies on the weight of the subducting crust?

Chemistry

AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Slab pull is the theory of plate movement which relies on the weight of the subducting crust.

Explanation:

Plate movement are the measure of motion of tectonic plates. As it is known that our earth crust is composed of different sizes of tectonic plates. So these plates can move depending upon the pressure exerting on it. So slab pull is one of the theories existing with plate movement. In this case, the movement of the plates occur due to the weight of the subducting crust. The subducting crust is the boundary between tectonic plates. So depending upon their weights, the slab pull theory works.

An atom has 24 protons, 22 electrons, and 28 neutrons. What is the MASS # of the atom
sleet_krkn [62]

The mass of an atom is given by the sum of the number of PROTONS and the number of NEUTRONS since ELETRON'S mass is negligible.

The mass is 24+28 = 52.

Calculate the solubility of benzene in water at 25 c in ppm. the required henry's law constant is 5.6 bar/mol/kg and benzene's s
kap26 [50]

The relationship between pressure and solubility of the gas is given by Henry's law as:

S_g = kP_g

where,

S_g is the solubility of the gas.

k is proportionality constant i.e. Henry's constant.

P_g is pressure of the gas.

k = 5.6 bar/mol/kg (given)

P_g = 0.13 bar (given)

Substituting the values,

S_g = 5.6 bar/mol/kg\times 0.13 bar = 0.728 mole/kg

To convert mole/kg to g/kg:

Molar mass of benzene, C_6H_6 = 6\times 12+6\times 1 = 78 g/mol

0.728\times 78 = 56.784 g/kg

Now for converting into ppm:

Since, 1 ppm = 0.001 g/kg

So, 56.784\times 1000 = 56784 ppm.

Hence, the solubility of benzene in water at 25^{o} C in ppm is 56784 ppm.

The maximum number of electrons in a single d subshell is:
Iteru [2.4K]

10 electrons

Explanation:

The maximum number of electrons in a single d-subshell is 10 electrons.

The d-sub-orbital used to denote azimuthal or secondary quantum numbers.

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sublevels are:

    two electrons in the s-sublevel, it has one orbital

   

   six electrons in the p-sublevel, it has three orbital

   ten electrons in the d- sublevel, it has five orbitals

   

   fourteen electrons in the f-sublevel, it has seven orbitals

The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is two.
