Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Widening rate of the Red sea = 1.25 cm per year = 1.25 cm/year

Which means that in 1 year Red sea widens to length of 1.25 cm.

So, from this we can calculate,

The number of year required by Red Sea to widen by 1 cm=\frac{1}{1.25}=0.8 years

Then years taken by Red sea to widen 812.5 cm:

0.8\times 812.5 years=650 years

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

The correct answer is - B) 650.

The Red Sea is a sea that grows in size because it is widening all the time. The rate of the widening is 1.25 centimeters per year, so it is not something that can be easily seen during a normal human lifespan, but over a longer period of time it will have a much different shape, size, and influence in the region. It is located between the African and the Arabian tectonic plates as an elongated thin sea with a northwest-southeast direction.

The widening of the Red Sea is due to the movement of the tectonic plates. Africa is moving towards northwest, and that makes it slowly distance itself from the Arabian plate, thus opening more space for the Red Sea.

In order for the Red Sea to widen another 812.5 centimeters, will be required 650 years, and we can come to the result by simple dividing the required number of the width with the annual widening.

812.5 / 1.25 = 650.

How many grams of water (H2O) are produced from 34 grams of oxygen (O2)? *
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

complete combustion reaction of  ethane is given by the reaction

2C2H6+7O2..............4CO2+6H2O

no of moles in 34 grams of O2=34/32=1.063

7mole of O2 produced 6 moles of H2O

therefore 1.063 moles of O2 produced=1.063*6/7=0.9 moles

now 0.9 moles of H2O contain how much grams=0.9*18=16.2 grams
