Formation of mountains by one continental plate moving into another (Indian plate pushing north, forming the Himalayas)
Vocanoes from an oceanic plate being submerged beneath another plate and melting, causing liquid hot magma to rise to the surface
72g H2O x 1 mol H2O/18.02g H2O = 3.99 mol H2O
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>
Answer:
<u><em></em></u>
- <u><em>Because the x-intercet of the graph represents volume zero, which indicates the minimum possible temperature or absolute zero.</em></u>
Explanation:
Charle's Law for ideal gases states that, at constant pressure, the <em>temperature</em> and the <em>volume</em> of a sample of gas are protortional.
That means that the graph of the relationship between Temperature, in Kelivn, and Volume is a line, which passes through the origin.
When you work with Temperature in Celsius, and the temperature is placed on the x-axis, the line is shifted to the left 273.15ºC.
Meaning that the Volume at 273.15ºC is zero.
You cannot reach such low temperatures in an experiment, and also, volume zero is not real.
Nevertheless, you can draw the line of best fit and extend it until the x-axis (corresponding to a theoretical volume equal to zero), and read the corresponding temperature.
Subject to the experimental errors, and the fact that the real gases are not ideal, the temperature that you read on the x-axis is the minimum possible temperature (<em>absolute zero</em>) as the minimum possible volume is zero.
There are 3 significant figures. Significant numbers are the numbers that build up your total number. 1-9 always count, 0 only counts if it’s after another number. For example: 0,901 has 3 significant numbers as does 0,910. 9,10 also has 3. 0,09 has just 1.
