Why did the plates began to slip against each other 30 million years ago forming San Andreas fault

Chemistry
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]3 years ago
6 0

The currents of the mantle pull the crust above it through drag. The plates, therefore, move on top of the mantle. At San Andreas fault, the North American Plate met the Pacific plate. However, due to the presence of the  Farallon plate that was disappearing into the mantle in a subduction zone, the Pacific and North American plates movements changed in their configuration. The two plates now move past each other. The San Andreas fault is, therefore, a strike-slip fault.

Calculate the number of moles<br> 41.0 g of Ca(NO3)2 <br> 1.48 g of Ca(OH)2 <br> 3.40 g of CaSO4
Lemur [1.5K]
First. moles is just a label for a number of things. just like a dozen = 12, a gross = 144, a mole = 6022 with another 20 zeros after the 2

next

moles = mass / molecular weight.

molecular weight = sum of atomic mass from the periodic table

atomic mass MnO2 = atomic mass Mn + 2 x atomic mass O
= 54.94 + 2 x 16 = 86.94 g/mole

so moles MnO2 = 98.0 grams / (86.94 g/mole) = 1.13 moles

notice that I only gave 3 digits? that because of sig figs read the link below if you don't understand....

mw C5H12 = 5 x 12 + 12 x 1 = 72 g/mole

so moles C5H12 = 12.0 g / 72.0 g/mole = 0.167 moles

mw XeF6 = 131.3+ 6 x 19.00 = 245.3

so moles XeF6 = 100 g / 245.3 g/mole = 0.4077 moles

I've also provided a link to a periodic table. if you need atomic weights click on any element and it will give you the
details.

How is sound energy produced? A. by vibrating objects B. by stationary objects C. by temperature differences D. by objects being
viva [34]
Sound energy is produced by vibrating objects.

Example: when you speak you vibrate the air molecules in the air. If you where to speak in space no “sound” would be produced since there is nothing for the vibration of your voice to travel through.
