Answer:

The collision of oceanic plates and any other plates in which the oceanic plate slides beneath the other plate creates the biggest earth quakes. Most of these earth quakes occur beneath the sea or oceans and can cause volcanic eruptions as well. Tsunami is another oceanic event that occurs due to earth quakes occurring due to shifting of plates beneath the sea.

"how many molecules of carbon dioxide exit your lungs when you exhale 5.00 × 10−2 mol of carbon dioxide, co2?"

IrinaVladis [17]

We are going to use Avogadro's constant to calculate how many molecules of

carbons dioxide exist in lungs:

when 1 mole of CO2 has 6.02 x 10^23 molecules, so how many molecules in

CO2 when the number of moles is 5 x 10^-2

number of molecules = moles of CO2 * Avogadro's number

= 5 x 10^-2 * 6.02 x 10^23

= 3 x 10^22 molecules

∴ There are 3 x 10^22 molecules in CO2 exist in lungs

What is the name of this molecule? h3c-c=c-ch3

Mamont248 [21]

Answer : The name of the given molecule is 2-butene or but-2-ene

Explanation :

Step 1 : Find the longest carbon chain.

The longest carbon chain for the given structure contains 4 carbons.

This will help us to find out the prefix for our parent compound.

The alkane with 4 carbons is "Butane"

Therefore our parent compound will have the prefix is "but"

Step 2 : Find the functional group

The functional group is the group that gives specific characteristics to the compound. In this case, we have a double bond in the structure which behaves as a functional group.

Therefore the functional group here is "Alkene"

Functional groups helps us to find the suffix of the name. In this case it is "ene"

Therefore our parent compound is but+ene = butene

Step 3 : Find the position of the double bond

The double bond is present between second and third carbon atom.

We always select the lower number to denote the position of the bond.

So we have 2-butene OR but-2-ene

There are no substituents present in this compound.

Therefore the name of the compound is 2-butene or But-2-ene
