Explain why the term recycling is an excellent description of plate tectonics

1 answer:

4 0

We may not see notice it but plate tectonics actually have a "recycle" process. However, scientist reported that it happens in a span of 500 million years. Over the years, the oceanic crusts are pressured to the topmost layer of the mantle causing the oceanic crusts to melt and mix with the Earth's mantle. Such crust blending results to the formation of volcanoes underwater. In time, the said volcanoes would erupt causing the formation of new oceanic and continental crusts.

In the image above the ruler is measuring in centimeters. The blue cylinder falls somewhere between 2.7cm and 2.8cm according to

Radda [10]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Resolution is the smallest unit of measurement that can be measured by a measuring instrument. Each point on the ruler is 0.1 cm and the difference between any two points, about 0.01 cm cam be measured. The minimum measurement (resolution) that can be measured by the ruler is 0.01 cm (two decimals), therefore it cannot measure up to three decimal places such as numbers like 2.755.

If 1.20 moles of copper react with mercuric nitrate how many moles of mercury form

Andrej [43]

Reaction of Copper with Mercuric Nitrate is as follow,

Cu + Hg(NO₃)₂ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + Hg

According to equation,

1 Mole of Cu reacts to form = 1 Mole of Hg

So,

1.20 Moles of Cu will react to produce = X Moles of Hg

Solving for X,

X = (1.20 mol × 1 mol) ÷ 1 mol

X = 1.20 mol of Hg
Result:
1.20 mole of Cu when reacted with mercuric nitrate produces 1.20 moles of Hg.
