Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.

Answer:

The correct answer is as follows.

Explanation:

The theory of seafloor spreading states that seafloor lithosphere is not stationary, on the contrary, it is constantly renewing at mid-ocean ridges. The research from the Glomar Challenger, that use a scientific drilling vessel,  helped to support this theory by taking rock samples from the Mid-ocean ridge. After analyzing the rock samples it was revealed that the farther from the mid-ocean ridge, the older the rock was.

Calculate the mass of Cr(ClO2)2 that contains 5.57 × 10<br> ^22 chlorine atoms.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your strategy here will be to

use the chemical formula of carbon dioxide to find the number of molecules of

CO

2

that would contain that many atoms of oxygen

use Avogadro's constant to convert the number of molecules to moles of carbon dioxide

use the molar mass of carbon dioxide to convert the moles to grams

So, you know that one molecule of carbon dioxide contains

one atom of carbon,

C

two atoms of oxygen,

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

moles H₂O = 10

Explanation:

The mass of Na₂CO₃⋅xH₂O is 3.837 g and the mass of Na₂CO₃ is 1.42g

Therefore the mass of xH₂O is 3.837 - 1.42 = 2.417 g

The molar mass of Na₂CO₃ is 106 g/mol and for H₂O is 18 g/mol

The moles of Na₂CO₃ and H₂O in the sample are:

Na₂CO₃ = 1.42 / 106 = 0.01340 moles

H₂O = 2.417 / 18 = 0.1343

Now using rule of three :

1 mole of Na₂CO₃ has x moles of H₂O

0.01340 moles of Na₂CO₃ has 0.1343 moles of H₂O

x = 1 * 0.1343 / 0.01340 = 10

The chemical equation below is correctly balanced.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

44.8 L of O2 will react (option D)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of SO2 = 4.00 moles

STP = Pressure = 1 atm  and temperature = 273 K

Step 2: The balanced equation

2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of O2

For 2 moles SO2, we need 1 mol O2 to produce 2 moles SO3

For 4.00 moles SO2 we need 4.00 / 2 = 2.00 moles O2

Step 4: Calculate volume of O2

For 1 mol we have a volume of 22.4 L

V = (n*R*T)/ p

V = (2.00 * 0.08206 * 273)/p

V = 44.8 L

For 2.00 moles we have a volume of 2*22.4 = 44.8 L

44.8 L of O2 will react (option D)

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative.

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction -

The type of reaction in which energy is absorbed in the form of heat is known as endothermic reaction .

The reaction mixture usually get cooled after the reaction .( temperature decreases ) .

The sign of ΔH of an Endothermic  reaction is positive .

<u>For the of process of freezing the liquid ethanol  ,  energy in the form of heat is released and hence , exothermic reaction ΔH is negative  .</u>

<u>In the process of freezing , liquid is converted to solid , i.e. , the randomness reduces , and hence , entropy also decreases , hence , ΔS is negative .</u>
