Scientists use four hypotheses to explain the movement of tectonic plates:

  1. Convection currents: convection in the Earth’s mantle drag and move the lithospheric plates.
  2. Magma injection: the injection of magma pushes plates apart.
  3. Continental drift: the plates above a spreading centre cool, become denser, and move away under the force of gravity.
  4. Descending plates: cold, dense plates descend into the mantle and pull the rest of the plate with it.

Many scientists think that the heat in the rising convection currents in the Earth’s mantle provides the energy to move the plates. The hot material becomes denser as it reaches the surface and cools. It flows downhill by gravity and eventually sinks again.

A drug is supplied as a 40 mg/ml solution in a 50 ml vial. you need to make 10 ml of a 10 mg/ml solution. how much concentrate w
Ymorist [56]

Answer: -

2.5 mL

Explanation: -

Volume of final solution = 10 mL

Strength of final solution = 10 mg / mL

Amount of drug required = Volume of final solution x strength of final solution

= 10 mL x 10 mg/ mL

= 100 mg.

Strength of supplied drug = 40mg/ mL

Volume of supplied drug required = \frac{100 mg}{40 mg/ mL}

= 2.5 mL

Thus to make 10 ml of a 10 mg/ml solution. 2.5 mL will be needed.

3. Explain how tectonic plate movement could create another supercontinent like Pangaea.
Zinaida [17]
Well transform boundaries are when 2 plates rub against each other and convergent boundaries and when plates come together and divergent boundaries are when plates move apart. So eventually one plate will collide into another then will another then again until it forms a Pangea

Write the Lewis structure for the product that forms when boron trifluoride combines with ammonia. Remember to show all non-zero
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

To draw or sketch a Lewis structure, formula or diagram, the chemical formula of the compound is essential. Without it you can not even know what are the atoms that make it up, in our case it is the one observed in the reaction shown:

BF_{3} + :NH_{3} ⇒ F3F_{3} BNH_{3}

In the structure obtained (see the Lewis structure in the drawing) the black dots correspond to the electrons of the non-shared pairs.  Because hydrogen has a single electron and a single orbital available to fill, it forms only a covalent bond represented by a long dash.   The same goes for boron and fluorine but in this case the fluorine has pairs of free electrons.

Explanation:

Lewis's structure is all that representation of covalent bonds within a molecule or an ion. In it, said bonds and electrons are represented by long dots or dashes, although most of the times the dots correspond to non-shared electrons and dashes to covalent bonds.

All existing compounds can be represented by Lewis structures, giving a first approximation of how the molecule or ions could be.
