The answer is convection<span>. The convection force is originated inside the fluid bodies (inside the Earth, in this case) and is due to the difference of densities generated by the difference in temperatures. This is the same force that affects the current of waters and the winds. The mechanism proposed is that the very hot rocks deep in the Earth have a lower density than upper rocks, so those hot rocks (not liquid due to the high pressures) tend to move upward leaving a void. The void will be filled by the next rocks close to the void and that generate a circular pattern that press the rocks to move.</span>

Balance the equation for this reaction in an acidic solution MnO-4 to NO-3+Mn+2
marin [14]

Answer

MnO₄ + 2H⁺ +3NO₂⁻ →3NO₃⁻ + Mn²⁺ +H₂O

Explanation

This is a redox reaction (oxidation-reduction reaction) which involves the transfer of electrons between two species. i.e

Mn + 6e⁻→Mn²⁺ (reduction)

3N³⁺- 6e⁻→3Mn⁵⁺(oxidation)

A car designer is designing a new model of a popular car. He wants to use the same engine as in the old model but improve the ne
DaniilM [7]

The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. F = ma; a = F/m. This means that Force over the mass. In order to improve the acceleration without redesigning is that the company has to improve the force assuming that the mass is still the same.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminum and water to produce hydrogen gas:2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H2
Kay [80]

Answer: 0.147 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{1.33g}{27g/mol}=0.049moles

\text{Moles of} NaOH=\frac{4.25g}{40g/mol}=0.106moles

2Al(s)+2NaOH(aq)+6H_2O(l)\rightarrow Na(Al(OH)_4(aq)+3H_2(g)

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of Al require = 2 moles of NaOH/tex]Thus 0.049 moles of [tex]Al will require=\frac{2}{2}\times 0.049=0.049moles  of NaOH

Thus Al is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and NaOH is the excess reagent.

As 2 moles of Al give = 3 moles of H_2

Thus 0.049 moles of Al give =\frac{3}{2}\times 0.049=0.0735moles  of H_2

Mass of H_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.0735moles\times 2g/mol=0.147g

Thus 0.147 g of H_2 will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
