4. What boundaries destroy oceanic crust?

1 answer:

7 0

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature

VMariaS [17]

Answer: The new pressure of the gas is (A) 854.46 kPa.

The pressure of a given mass of gas at the absolute temperature 110 degrees K is 400 kPa.

The temperature is raised to 235 degrees K with constant volume.

Therefore,

Initial pressure $P_{1}=400kPa$

Initial temperature $T_{1}=110K$

Final temperature $T_{2}=235K$

Final pressure $P_{2}=?$

According to pressure law of gas,

$\frac{P_{1} }{T_{1} }=\frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$ ( at constant volume) $P_{2}=\frac{P_{1}T_{2} }{T_{1} }$

$P_{2}=\frac{400X235}{110}$

$P_{2}=854.46kPa$

Thus, the required new pressure of the gas is 854.46 kPa.
