How many primary tectonic plates make up the surface of Earth?

2 answers:

7 0

There are about 7 or 8 primary tectonic plates. The lithosphere is made of about a dozen plates. The plates fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. However, the plates can move. This causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains to form.

Hope it helps

There are 15 to 20 primary tectonics that make up the surface of Earth. They are called Lithosphere.

What type of plate boundary would form where there is a mountain range present, known earthquake activity, but no trenches prese

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

continental-continental convergent boundary

Explanation:

When two continental plates converge, they smash together and create mountains. The amazing Himalaya Mountains are the result of this type of convergent plate boundary. The Appalachian Mountains resulted from ancient convergence when Pangaea came together.

Part iv. Is the neutralization reaction enthalpy favored?

Burka [1]

Yes, it is a special case of enthalpy of neutralization.

The enthalpy of neutralization (ΔHn) is the change in enthalpy that occurs when one equivalent of an acid and one equivalent of a base undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt.

The standard enthalpy change of neutralization is the enthalpy change when solutions of an acid and an alkali react together under standard conditions to produce 1 mole of water.

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.

What is the world's most common acid and also the world's most common base?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Thus, as both an amphoteric compound and the most common liquid on Earth, it follows that water is both the most common acid as well as the most common base on planet Earth

A piston is pressurized to 15.5 psi at 405 K. If the piston compresses the air, from 8.98 L to 7.55 L, and the pressure drops to

masya89 [10]

Answer:

239.45 K

Explanation:

Ideal gas law formula is P1V1T2=P2V2T1

Rearrange that to get...

T2=T1P2V2/P1V1

Fill in the values and solve.
