Answer: A. convergent

Most earthquakes occur at the boundary where two plates meet. This phenomena is called as convergent plate tectonics. In this phenomena the two plates moves towards each other. If the plates are of equal density then they will push each other but if they are of unequal density, the denser plate sink beneath the other plate.

In what areas of the periodic table do you find the least reactive elements?

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Noble gases are nonreactive, nonmetallic elements in group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. That's because they have eight valence electrons, which fill their outer energy level.

Elements: Argon

What is the volume of 0.80 grams of O2 gas at STP? (5 points) Group of answer choices 0.59 liters 0.56 liters 0.50 liters 0.47 l

Anarel [89]

Answer:

0.56 liters

Explanation:

First we convert 0.80 grams of O₂ into moles, using its molar mass:

0.80 g ÷ 32 g/mol = 0.025 mol

At STP, 1 mol of any given mass occupies 22.4 L. With that information in mind we calculate the volume that 0.025 moles of O₂ gas would occupy:

0.025 mol * 22.4 L/mol = 0.56 L

Thus the answer is 0.56 liters.

Determine the formula weights of each of the following compounds.Part A) Nitrous oxide, N2O, known as laughing gas and used as a

densk [106]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a molar mass of 44.014 amu. It has 2 nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 44.014 amu ) *100% = 63.6%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/44.014 amu) * 100% = 36.4 %

63.6% + 36.4% = 100%

b) Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) has a molar mass of 122.13 amu. It has 6 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01amu and 2 oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (6*1.01 amu / 122.13 amu)*100% = 4.96%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/ 122.13 amu)*100% = 68.8%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/ 122.13 amu) *100% = 26.2%

c) Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) has a molecular mass of 58.32 amu. It has 2 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 1 magnesium atom with a mass of 24.3 amu and two oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (2*1.01 amu/ 58.32 amu) *100% = 3.46 %

Percentage magnesium = (24.3 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 41.7%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 54.9%

d) Urea CO(NH2)2 has a molecular mass of 60.064 amu. It has 2 Nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu, 4 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,1 carbon atom with a mass of 12.01 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 60.064amu)*100% = 46.6%

Percentage hydrogen = (4*1.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 6.72%

Percentage carbon = (12.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 20.0%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 26.6%

e) Osopentyl acetate (C7H14O2) has a molecular mass of 130.2 amu. It has 14 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01 amu and 2 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (14*1.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 10.8%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 64.6%

Percentage oxygen =(2*16 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 24.6%

Which of the following is not a property of a buffer solution? a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. b) Resi

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

e) pH is independent of concentration.

Explanation:

a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. TRUE. A buffer is defined as a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

b) Resists pH changes because it reacts with added acid or base. TRUE. Thermodynamically, the reaction of added acid or base is faster with the buffer mixture than with H⁺ or OH⁻ ions of the solutions.

c) The maximum buffer capacity is at pH = pKa. TRUE. The buffer capacity is pka±1. For this, buffer capacity is maximum in pka.

d) pH is dependent on the solution ionic strength and temperature. TRUE. Ionic strength and temperature are factors that influence concentrations of ions in solutions as the H⁺ ion that is the responsible

e) pH is independent of concentration. FALSE. pH in a buffer depends completely of concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

I hope it helps!
