The correct answer is - 1 cm/yr.

Alongside the western coast of South America, the Nazca plate and the South American plate are in a collision for several million years now, with the Nazca plate being the one that is subducting in this convergent plate boundary.

If the Nazca plate's focus has moved 1,000 km in the last 10 million years, than in order to get to the annual movement of the subduction we need to convert the km into cm first:

1 km = 10,000 cm

1,000 x 10,000 = 10,000,000

1,000 km = 10,000,000 cm

Than we need to divide the number of cm with the number of years:

10,000,000 / 10,000,000 = 1

And we get the result of 1 cm/yr.

The average atomic mass of the imaginary element : 47.255 amu

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes  

Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ..

isotope E-47 47.011 amu, 87.34%

isotope E-48 48.008 amu, 6.895

isotope E-49 50.009 amu, 5.77%

The average atomic mass :

\tt avg~mass=0.8734\times 47.011+0.06895\times 48.008+0.0577\times 50.009\\\\avg~mass=41.059+3.310+2.886\\\\avg~mass=47.255~amu

It’s and emergency! PLEASE HELP!

Answer:

We'll have 82 moles ZnO and 41 moles S

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Number of moles Zinc (Zn) = 82 moles

Number of moles sulfur oxide (SO2) = 42 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Zn + SO2 → 2ZnO + S

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol sulfur oxide to produce 2 moles zinc oxide and 1 mol sulfur

Zinc is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consume (82 moles). Sulfur oxide is in excess. There will react 82/2 = 41 moles

There will remain 42-41 = 1 mol SO2

Step 4: Calculate moles of products

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol sulfur oxide to produce 2 moles zinc oxide and 1 mol sulfur

For 82 moles Zinc we'll have 82 moles of Zinc Oxide (ZnO)

For 82 moles Zinc we'll have 82/2 = 41 moles of sulfur

We'll have 82 moles ZnO and 41 moles S

Calculate the number of grams of oxygen gas in a 24L container at STP
romanna [79]

There are 34 g of oxygen in the container.

We can use the<em> Ideal Gas Law</em> to solve this problem.

pV = nRT

But n = \frac{m}{M}, so

pV = \frac{m}{M}RT and

m = \frac{pVM}{RT}\\

STP is 0 °C and 1 bar, so

m = \frac{\text{1 bar} \times \text{24 L} \times 32.00 \text{ g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}}{\text{0.083 14 } \text{bar}\cdot\text{L}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\times\text{273.15 K} } = \textbf{34 g}\\
