The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanic sites in the Pacific Ocean that stretches between the Americas, Asia, and Australia. Wh

at is the most likely cause of this volcanic activity?
The release of pressure from the Earth’s core through weak portions of the tectonic plates
The movement of mantle rock through the cracks between tectonic plates
The melting of tectonic plates by particularly hot parts of the Earth’s crust
The explosion of energy as a result of a collision between two nearby tectonic plates

The movement of mantle rock through the cracks between tectonic plates

Our Earth is not a static planet. The crust, the part where we live, is above a more fluid componet, the mantle. Where the crust thin out, it is possible that the mantle comes to the surface, causing a series of phenomenon like volcano activities and earthquake. This is particularty visible in the Ring of Fire, because there a lot of those cracks in this zone.

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u> Pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>For a:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For b:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

  • <u>For c:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For d:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

  • <u>For e:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^6

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

  • <u>For f:</u>

The given electronic configuration is:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are:  (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

How many milliliters of 0.200 m fecl3 are needed to react with an excess of na2s to produce 1.38 g of fe2s3 if the percent yield
ahrayia [7]
<span>Answer: 100 ml
</span>

<span>Explanation:


1) Convert 1.38 g of Fe₂S₃ into number of moles, n


</span>i) Formula: n = mass in grass / molar mass
<span>
ii) molar mass of </span><span>Fe₂S₃ =2 x 55.8 g/mol + 3 x 32.1 g/mol = 207.9 g/mol
</span>

iii) n = 1.38 g / 207.9 g/mol = 0.00664 moles of <span>Fe₂S₃
</span>

<span>2) Use the percent yield to calculate the theoretical amount:
</span>

<span>65% = 0.65 = actual yield/ theoretical yield =>


</span>theoretical yield = actual yield / 0.65 = 0.00664 moles / 0.65 = 0.010 mol <span>Fe₂S₃</span><span>

3) Chemical equation:
</span>

<span> 3 Na₂S(aq) + 2 FeCl₃(aq) → Fe₂S₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)


4) Stoichiometrical mole ratios:
</span>

<span>3 mol Na₂S : 2 mol FeCl₃ : 1 mol Fe₂S₃ : 6 mol NaCl


5) Proportionality:


</span>2moles FeCl₃ / 1 mol Fe₂S₃ = x / 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃
<span>
=> x = 0.020 mol FeCl₃


6) convert 0.020 mol to volume
</span>

<span>i) Molarity formula: M = n / V
</span>

<span>ii) V = n / M = 0.020 mol / 0.2 M = 0.1 liter = 100 ml
</span>
