The theory that describes the motion and force driving earth's plates is Plate tectonics
Explanation:
Plate tectonics states that the outer shell of the Earth is divided into plates that glide and move over the mantle which is the surface of the earth.
The mantle is the rocky inner layer above the core of the Earth.
Plate tectonics helped the geologists to explain how continents could move around the planet.
There are 9 major plate tectonics , namely North American, Pacific, Eurasian, Australian, African, Indo - Australian,Indian South American and Antarctic. These plates have been named after the land form found on them.
An increase in the number of gas particles in the container increases the frequency of collisions with the walls and therefore the pressure of the gas. The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas.
Answer:
Mass = 11 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Zn = 5 g
Mass of HCl = 50 g
Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 6 g
Mass of zinc chloride produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
Number of moles of Zn:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 5 g / 65.38 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.08 mol
Number of moles of HCl :
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 50 g / 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with zinc chloride.
Zn : ZnCl₂
1 : 1
0.08 : 0.08
HCl : ZnCl₂
2 : 1
1.4 : 1/2×1.4 =0.7 mol
The number of moles of zinc chloride produced by Zn are less so it will limiting reactant.
Mass of zinc chloride:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.08 mol × 136.3 g/mol
Mass = 11 g
