Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

What is the relationship between the Kuiper Belt and the status of Pluto today?
Xelga [282]

Pluto is a dwarf planet, but one of the largest known members, in the Kuiper belt.

The Kuiper Belt extends between 30 AU and 55 AU from the Sun

(1 AU = 1.5 × 10^8 km = distance from Earth to Sun).

Pluto's orbit is highly elliptical. It ranges from 30 AU to 50 AU. When Pluto is closest to the Sun, it is inside the orbit of Neptune (30 AU).

Astronomers class Pluto as a <em>resonant Kuiper belt object</em> (KBO). Because it gets so close to Neptune, its orbit is in <em>resonance</em> with that of Neptune. Pluto makes two orbits for every three of Neptune.

Which theory describes the motion of and force driving earth’s plates?
swat32

The theory that describes the motion and force driving earth's plates is Plate tectonics

Explanation:

Plate tectonics states that the outer shell of the Earth is divided into plates that glide and move over the mantle which is the surface of the earth.

The mantle is the rocky inner layer above the core of the Earth.

Plate tectonics helped the geologists to explain how continents could move around the planet.

There are 9 major plate tectonics , namely North American, Pacific, Eurasian, Australian, African, Indo - Australian,Indian South American and Antarctic. These plates have been named after the land form found on them.

5. A hollow glass sphere has a volume of 350 mL and
Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume of a hallow glass sphere is 350 mL

Specific gravity is 1.252

We need to find the weight of the sphere. The ratio of density of substance to the density of water is called specific gravity.

The density of water is 1 g/mL

\text{specific gravity}=\dfrac{\text{density of substance}}{\text{density of water}}\\\\SG=\dfrac{m}{V\times \rho_w}\\\\m=SG\times V\times \rho_w\\\\m=1.252\times 350\ mL\times 1\ g/mL\\\\m=438.2\ \text{grams}

We know that,

1 pound = 453.592 grams

So,

m = 0.97 lbs

So, the weight of the sphere is 0.97 lbs or 0.97 pounds.
