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.

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

Kamila [148]

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is incorrect because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is incorrect for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.

Zainab is in science class, and he is studying an organism that reproduces sexually. The genetic material of the organism

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The genetic material of the organism will be DNA.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction can be described as a type of reproduction in which offsprings with genetic diversity are produced. Sexual reproduction occurs by the process of meiosis.

DNA is the genetic material which is passed from the parents to the offsprings at the time of fertilization. However, the phenomenon of individual assortment and crossing over during the process of meiosis produces genetic variability among the children and the parents.

The vapor pressure of pure water at 25 °c is 23.8 torr. What is the vapor pressure (torr) of water above a solution prepared by

maxonik [38]

The vapour pressure of the solution is 23.4 torr.

Use Raoult’s Law to calculate the vapour pressure:

p₁ = χ₁p₁°

where

χ₁ = the mole fraction of the solvent

p₁ and p₁° are the vapour pressures of the solution and of the pure solvent

The formula for vapour pressure lowering Δp is

Δp = p₁° - p₁

Δp = p₁° - χ₁p₁° = p₁°(1 – χ₁) = χ₂p₁°

where χ₂ is the mole fraction of the solute.

Step 1. Calculate the mole fraction of glucose

n₂ = 18.0 g glu × (1 moL glu/180.0 g glu) = 0.1000 mol glu

n₁ = 95.0 g H_2O × (1 mol H_2O/18.02 g H_2O) = 5.272 mol H_2O

χ₂ = n₂/(n₁ + n₂) = 0.1000/(0.1000 + 5.272) = 0.1000/5.372 = 0.018 62

Step 2. Calculate the vapour pressure lowering

Δp = χ₂p₁° = 0.018 62 × 23.8 torr = 0.4430 torr

Step 3. Calculate the vapour pressure

p₁ = p₁° - Δp = 23.8 torr – 0.4430 torr = 23.4 torr
