What happens when a oceanic crust and a continent crust collide? What forms ? Which is more denser? What type of boundary?

1 answer:

8 0

At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.

At a given temperature the vapor pressure of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr, respectively. A solution

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of benzene over the solution is 253 torr

Explanation:

According to Raoult's law for a mixture of two liquid component A and B-

vapour pressure of a component (A) in solution = $x_{A}\times P_{A}^{0}$

vapour pressure of a component (B) in solution = $x_{B}\times P_{B}^{0}$

Where $x_{A},x_{B}$ are mole fraction of component A and B in solution respectively

$P_{A}^{0},P_{B}^{0}$ are vapour pressure of pure A and pure B respectively

Here mole fraction of benzene in solution is 0.340 and vapour pressure of pure benzene is 745 torr

So, vapour pressure of benzene in solution = $0.340\times 745 torr$

= 253 torr

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Option D is good to go!

Explanation: as per the reactivity series more reactive substances will react with the counterpart substance.The most reactive substance here is calcium while the least reactive is aluminium, the magnesium comes in between.As per their reactivity, these substances will react with oxygen.

Photosenthisis is a process in which plants prepare foodusing carbon dioxide chloriphil and water in the presence of sunlight du

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

During photosynthesis SOLAR enerrgy is transformed into CHEMICAL energy.

Explanation:

In nutrition, green plants manufactures their own food which they use for both energy and growth. This is called an autotrophic mode of nutrition.

Therefore, photosynthesis is an autotrophic nutrition in which plant can build sugar by taking carbon dioxide from air and water from the soil. For the synthesis of sugar like glucose, carbon dioxide provides carbon

and oxygen whereas water molecules provide hydrogen. The plant builds sugar molecules from these simple compounds. Enzymes needed for this purpose are present in the cells and energy is trapped by chlorophyll from sunlight. This process is summarised in the equation below:

Sunlight (solar)

6CO2 + 6H2O--------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

From the equation, Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (SOLAR energy) is the raw materials needed to produce Glucose and oxygen (CHEMICAL energy) as by products.

How many moles of water would form the reaction of exactly 58.3 grams of magnesium hydroxide

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

We know we will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

You don't tell us what the reaction is, but we can solve the problem so long as we balance the OH.

M_r: 58.32

Mg(OH)₂ + … ⟶ … + 2HOH

m/g: 58.3

(a) Moles of Mg(OH)₂

$\text{Moles of Mg(OH)$_{2}$} =\text{58.3 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}{\text{58.32 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\=\text{0.9997 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}$

(b) Moles of H₂O

The molar ratio is 2 mol H₂O = 1 mol Mg(OH)₂.

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O}= \text{0.9995 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol {H$_{2}$O}}}{ \text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \textbf{2.00 mol H$_{2}$O}$

The reaction will form $\boxed{\textbf{2.00 mol}}$ of water.
