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>

Drag each label to the correct location on the table.
AleksAgata [21]

Explanation:

1) Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely related to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

  • When the size of the chamber is increased the volume occupied the gas will increase with which pressure exerted by the gas will decrease down.
  • When we press the inflated balloon the pressure on the gas is increased with which volume of the occupied by the gas inside the balloon decreased.

2) Charles' Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T    (At constant pressure and number of moles)

  • The size of the balloon deceases because the in winters the temperature decreases with which volume of the gas present in the balloon also decreases.
  • When the flexible closed container is heated the temperature of the gas inside the container increases with which the volume occupied by the gas in the container will increase resulting in expanding of container.

3) Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.

V\propto n   (At constant temperature and pressure)

When we blow air into the balloon the umber of air particles increases with which the volume of the gas inside the balloon also increases resulting in increase in size of the balloon.

If a lab group were using hydrochloric acid to perform a substitution reaction, which precaution would not be a concern?
Pie
The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below:
...............................................................................................................................

Correct Answer: Option A i.e Flammability

Reason:

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid. It has a high value of dissociation constant. Following equilibrium is established with HCl is dissolved in water

           HCl     +       H2O           ↔          Cl-     +         H3O+

Above, reaction is highly exothermic in nature. So care must be taken while preparing HCl solution of desired concentration. HCl must be added in beaker containing water. Reversed, i.e. adding water in HCl, must never be done. This is because when acid is poured into water, it flows down the flask and mixes much efficiently and no boiling occurs. On other hand, <span> when water is added to acid, the very first drop of water will react with acid. The heat generated during this event might be high enough to boil the water instantly, which could spray acid out of the container.

The physical contact with concentration HCl will result in skin burn. As well, inhaling</span><span> HCl vapors can cause burns to body tissues, lung damage and even death in extreme cases. Also, since HCl is a strong acid, it would undergoes reaction almost spontaneously, which would inturn favour substitution reaction. However, HCl is not a flammable gas. Hence, it is of no concern while performing substitution reaction.  </span>
