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.

1.66 M is the concentration of the chemist's working solution.

<h3>What is molarity?</h3>

Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is defined as the moles of a solute per litres of a solution. Molarity is also known as the molar concentration of a solution.

In this case, we have a solution of Zn(NO₃)₂.

The chemist wants to prepare a dilute solution of this reactant.

The stock solution of the nitrate has a concentration of 4.93 M, and he wants to prepare 620 mL of a more dilute concentration of the same solution. He adds 210 mL of the stock and completes it with water until it reaches 620 mL.

We want to know the concentration of this diluted solution.

As we are working with the same solution, we can assume that the moles of the stock solution will be conserved in the diluted solution so:

n_1= n_2  (1)

and we also know that:

n = M x V_2

If we replace this expression in (1) we have:

M_1 x V_1= M_2 x V_2

Where 1, would be the stock solution and 2, the solution we want to prepare.

So, we already know the concentration and volume used of the stock solution and the desired volume of the diluted one, therefore, all we have to do is replace the given data in (2) and solve for the concentration which is M_2:

4.93 x 210 =  620 xM_2

M_2 = 1.66 M

This is the concentration of the solution prepared.

A beaker cannot be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because _____.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Data obtained can't be accurate.

Explanation:

A beaker can't be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because they did not calculate volume of a liquid accurately and precisely. The marks present on the beaker are not accurate, it is just an estimate so by measuring the volume of any liquid using beaker give us a false data so that's why beaker are not used for the measurement of a volume.
