Why is the Atlantic Ocean growing larger, but the Pacific Ocean is growing smaller?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A.The Atlantic Ocean has more mid-ocean ridges than the Pacific Ocean so that keeps it growing larger.

Explanation:

Atlantic ocean is getting bigger because of the presence of spreading centers (divergent plate boundary). ... Pacific Ocean is getting smaller because the pacific plate is subducting along the subduction zones. Subduction zones are areas where old, dense plate subducts beneath a less dense plate.

2 Na + Cl2 --&gt; 2 NaCl<br> What is the mole ratio of sodium to sodium chloride?
Irina18 [472]

Answer: The mole ratio of sodium to sodium chloride 2:2.

Explanation:

As the given reaction equation is as follows.

2Na + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2NaCl

Here, 2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of Cl_{2} and leads to the formation of 2 moles of NaCl.

This means that 2 moles of sodium gives 2 moles of NaCl on reaction with chlorine.

Hence, the ratio of moles of sodium to sodium chloride is 2:2.

Thus, we can conclude that the mole ratio of sodium to sodium chloride 2:2.

X-rays had a frequency of about 3x10^18 determine it's wavelength (in nm) and energy per photon
Serggg [28]

Answer:

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of xray = 3×10¹⁸ Hz

Wavelength of xray = ?

Energy of xray = ?

Solution:

speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

speed = 3×10⁸ m/s

3×10⁸ m/s  = λ ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s  / 3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m

m to nm:

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m×10⁹

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Energy of x-ray:

E = h.f

h = plancks constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻ ¹

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J
