[C. convection in the earths mantle]

As we know that convection in the earth mantle such as magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma in the aesthenosphere. The aesthenosphere is a part of the mantle where the middle sphere of the Earth that extends to 2900 km.

The correct answer to this item is letter

C. convection in earth's mantle

Convection currents move tectonic plates when the rising mantle creates heat inside. The radioactive decay of several substances is responsible for the creation of the convection currents.

In a very violent reaction called a thermite reaction, aluminum metal reacts with iron (III) oxide to form iron metal and alumin

leva [86]

Here's the equation:
Fe2 O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2 O3

Here's the question.
What mass of Al will react with 150g of Fe2 O3?

In every 2 moles Al you need 1 mole Fe2O3 

moles = mass / molar mass 
moles Fe2O3 = 150 g / 159.69 g/mol 
= 0.9393 moles 

moles Al needed = 2 x moles Fe2O3 
= 2 x 0.9393 mol 
= 1.879 moles Al needed 

mass = molar mass x moles 
mass Al = 26.98 g/mol x 1.879 mol 
= 50.69 g 
= 51 g (2 sig figs)

So the mass of Al that will react with 150g of Fe2 O3 is 51 grams.

How much heat does a 100. g sample of copper absorb when its temperature increases by 30.0°C? The specific heat of copper is 0.3

erica [24]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 1170 \ Joules }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how much heat a sample of copper absorbs when the temperature is increased.

Since we know the mass, temperature increase, and specific heat capacity, we can use the following formula to calculate heat.

$q= mc \Delta T$

The mass of the copper sample is 100 grams, the temperature is changed or increased by 30.0 degrees Celsius, and the specific heat of copper is 0.39 Joules per gram degrees Celsius.
