Answer:

Friction between the plate and the aesthenosphere and the pressure of magma on the edge of the plates.

Explanation:

The convection of the aesthenosphere(Mantle) which is a semi liquid causes the solid plates to break into different plates .

The pressure from magma arising from mid oceanic rigdes also causes plates to move.

An atom has a mass number of 30 and 16 neutrons. What is the atomic number of this atom?

Lana71 [14]

The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon

Hello,

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

$a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction$

Explanation:

Ferrous Sulphate $(FeSO4)$ is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide $(SO_3)$ , Sulphur Dioxide $(SO_2)$ as well as Ferric Oxide $(Fe_2O_3)$ .

We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.

Hence,

$FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

Now,

a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of steps:

1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside $FeSO_4$ .

2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:

Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :

$2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3$

b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds decompose into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate decomposes into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is Decomposition Reaction.

How many grams of sulfuric acid is needed to neutralize 380 ml of solution with pH = 8.94

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer : The mass of sulfuric acid needed is $16.23\times 10^{-5}g$ .

Solution : Given,

pH = 8.94

Volume of solution = 380 ml = $380\times 10^{-3}$ $(1ml=10^{-3}L)$

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98.079 g/mole

As we know,

$pH+pOH=14\\pOH=14-8.94=5.06$

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

$5.06=-log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=0.00000871=8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $OH^-$ .

Formula used : $Moles=Concentration\times Volume$

$\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Concentration of }[OH^-]\times Volume\\\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=(8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L)\times (380\times 10^{-3}L)=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles$
