C. Gravity acting on the edges of plates and convection in the mantle. So you were correct!
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is 'gravity acting on the edges of plates and convection in the mantle'.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The two processes which the scientists think that move the Earth's lithosphere plates are:

1) gravity acting on the edges of the plates; and

2) convection in the mantle

The gravitational body force pulling the slab downwards is balanced by the resistive forces acting on the plate while mantle convection is the main way through which the heat from Earth's interior is transferred to its surface.

Answer:

Kp = 0.049

Explanation:

The equilibrium in question is;

2 SO₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)   ⇄ 2 SO₃ (g)  

Kp = p SO₃² / ( p SO₂² x p O₂ )

The initial pressures are given, so lets set up the ICE table for the equilibrium:

atm        SO₂         O₂          SO₃

I              3.3        0.79           0

C              -2x           -x          2x

E             3.3 - 2x    0.79 - x    2x

We are told 2x = partial pressure of SO₃ is 0.47 atm at equilibrium, so we can determine the partial pressures of  SO₂ and O₂ as follows:

p SO₂  = 3.3 -0.47 atm = 2.83 atm

p O₂ = 0.79 - (0.47/2) atm = .56 atm

Now we can calculate Kp:

Kp = 0.47² /[ ( 2.83 )² x 0.56 ] = 0.049 ( rounded to 2 significant figures )

Note that we have extra data in this problem we did not need since once we setup the ICE table for the equilibrium we realize we have all the information needed to solve the question.

Explain why the male angler fish is small and does not require a fully formed gut
Arturiano [62]

Answer:They are small because they don't need larger bodies to enable them attach to the females. They don't have fully formed gut because when they reach adulthood their digestive system stops functioning.

Explanation:they then find a female angler fish, attach by bitting into her flesh and fusing to her body. So whatever she eats they eat too.

How man grams of cl2 are consumed to produce 12.0 g of KCl
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

5.71 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 K + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12.0 g of KCl

The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol.

12.0 g × 1 mol/74.55 g = 0.161 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cl₂ needed to produce 0.161 moles of KCl

The molar ratio of Cl₂ to KCl is 1:2. The moles of Cl₂ needed are 1/2 × 0.161 mol = 0.0805 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.0805 moles of Cl₂

The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.91 g/mol.

0.0805 mol × 70.91 g/mol = 5.71 g

when some ionic salts are dissolved in water the reaction is exothermic when others are dissolved in water the reaction is endot
antiseptic1488 [7]
One type of chemical process that can be either exothermic or endothermic is dissolving of salts in water. A salt is a compound made up of positively charged ions and negatively charged ions which are held together in a solid state because the positive and negative charges attract one another.
