Discribe how continents and oceans are carried on tectonic plates

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]2 years ago
7 0
This question seems to be very basic .the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.
hope this helped u

Does carbon ever leave the EARTH? Explain.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Carbon is also found in the atmosphere where it's a part of carbon dioxide gas emitted when fossil fuels are burned and when living organisms breathe. It's in organic matter in the soil, and it's in rocks. But far and away the most carbon on Earth is stored in a surprising place: the ocean.

Three separate 3.5g blocks of al, cu, and fe at 25°c each absorb 0.505 kj of heat. which block reaches the highest temperature?
77julia77 [94]

The energy can be shown as:

Q = ms dT

Whereas, m is the mass of block

s is specific heat

dT is change in temperature.

Copper block having the lowest specific heat and thus having the higher change in temperature and therefore having the higher final temperature.

A student adds 0. 0030 mol of hcl to 100 ml of a 0. 10 m solution of a r2nh, a weak base. The ph of the solution is found to be
egoroff_w [7]

Since an acidic salt solution is produced when a strong acid neutralizes a weak base, the pH of the salt solution formed when HCl is added to R2NH will be less than 7.

<h3>What is a neutralization reaction?</h3>

A neutralization reaction is the react ion between an acid and a base to form salt and water only.

Neutralization reactions can either produce a neutral solution, an acidic solution or an alkaline solution at equivalence point.

When a strong acid is added to a weak base, the pH of the salt solution formed will be less than 7.

Therefore, the pH of the salt solution formed when HCl is added to R2NH will be less than 7.

What is plasma in chemistry​
faltersainse [42]

Explanation:

Plasma is an ionized gas, a distinct fourth state of matter. “Ionized” means that at least one electron is not bound to an atom or molecule, converting the atoms or molecules into positively charged ions.but plasma is present in human body too in a liquid form.

Suppose a laboratory wants to identify an unknown pure substance. The valence electrons of the substance's atoms feel an effecti
zalisa [80]

Answer:

  • The answer is the third option in the list:<em> It would have smaller atomic radii than Si and higher ionization energies than Si.</em>

Explanation:

The<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is that portion of the total nuclear charge that a given electron in an atom feels.

Since, the inner electrons repel the outer electrons, t<em>he effective nuclear charg</em>e of a determined electron is the sum of the positive charge (number of protons or atomic number) that it feels from the nucleus less the number of electrons that are in the shells that are are closer to the nucleus than the own shell of such (determined) electron.

Mathematically, <em>the effective nuclear charge (Zeff)</em> is equal to the atomic number (Z) minus the amount (S) that other electrons in the atom shield the given (determined) atom from the nucleus.

  • Zeff = Z - S.

Since, the valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom, you can find certain trend for the value Zeff.

Let's look at the group to which Si belongs, which is the group 14. This table summarizes the relevant data:

Element   Z   Group   # valence electrons     S                      Zeff = Z - S

C              6      14                      4                     6 - 4 = 2             6 -  2 = +4

Si             14     14                      4                     14 - 4 = 10         14 - 10 = +4

Ge           32     14                     4                     32 - 4 = 28       32 -28 = +4

Sn           50     14                     4                     50 - 4 = 46       50 - 46 = +4

Pb           82     14                     4                     82 - 4 = 78        82 - 78 = +4  

With that, you have shown that the valence electrons of the unknown substance's atoms feel an effective nuclear charge of +4 and you have a short list of 4 elements which can be the unknown element: C, Ge, Sn or Pb.

The second known characteristic of the unknown substance's atoms is that it has a <em>higher electronegativity than silicon (Si)</em><em>.</em>

So, you must use the known trend of the electronegativity in a group of the periodic table: the electronegativity decreases as you go down in a group. So, three of the elements (Ge, Sn, and Pb) have lower electronegativity than Si, which has left us with only one possibility: the element C. The valence electrons of carbon (C) atoms feel an effective nuclear charge of +4 and it carbon has a higher electronegativity than silicon.

Other two periodic trends attending the group number are the <em>atomic radii and the ionization energy</em>.

The atomic radii generally increases as you go from top to bottom in a group. This is because you are adding electrons to new higher main energy levels. So, you can conclude that the originally unknwon substance (carbon) has a smaller atomic radii, than Si.

The ionization energies generally decreases as you go from top to bottom in a group. This os due to the shielding effect: as seen, the effective nuclear charge of the atom's valence electrons remains constant, while the distance of the electrons from the nucleus increases (the valence electrons are farther away from the nucleus), which means the upper the element in a given group, the larger the ionization energy of the atoms.

With this, our conclusions about the unnkown substance are:

  • Since it has a higher electronegativity value than silicon (Si), it is right up of Si, and there is on only element possible element than can be (C).

  • Since, it is upper than silicon (Si), it would have smaller atomic radii.

  • Due to the shielding effect, it would have larger ionization energies.

  • The answer is the third option in the list: It would have smaller atomic radii than Si and higher ionization energies than Si.
