Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of HgO is -90.7 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The reaction between Hg and oxygen is as follows.

\text{Hg(l)}+\frac{1}{2}{O_{2}\rightarrow \text{HgO(s)}

From the given,

Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol

Mass of HgO decomposed = 18.5 g

Amount of heat absorbed = 7.75 kJ

From the reaction,

The standard  enthalpy of formation = +7.75\times\frac{kJ}{18.5 g}\frac{216.59}{1mol} \,\,= +90.7 kJ/mol

During the decomposition of 1 mol of HgO , 90.7 kJ of energy absorbed.

For the formation of 1 mol of HgO , 90.7 kJ of energy is release

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of mercury(II)Oxide is -90.7 kJ/mol

Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related
AnnyKZ [126]

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.

Calculate the number of moles of KOH in 6.70 mL of a 0.480 M KOH solution. (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

3.2×10^-3 mol

Explanation:

The equation for molarity is M= n/L. Where "M" is Molarity, "n" is the number of moles of solute, and "L" is the total liters in solution.

The question gives you the volume in mL, so to convert "mL" to "L" you need to divide by 1000. (6.70mL/ 1000L)= 0.0067L.

Now you can plug the numbers into the equation. 0.480M= n/ 0.0067L), multiply (0.480M×0.0067L)= 0.003216 mol. The scientific notation is 3.2×10^-3, 10^-3 because you move the decimal back three times and 3.2 because there are 2 sig figs.
