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.

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter

ANTONII [103]

The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

Nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia in the Haber process. Calculate (in kJ) the standard enthalpy change ∆H° for the r

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

∆H° rxn = - 93 kJ

Explanation:

Recall that a change in standard in enthalpy, ∆H°, can be calculated from the inventory of the energies, H, of the bonds broken minus bonds formed (H according to Hess Law.

We need to find in an appropiate reference table the bond energies for all the species in the reactions and then compute the result.

N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g)

1 N≡N = 1(945 kJ/mol) 3 H-H = 3 (432 kJ/mol) 6 N-H = 6 ( 389 kJ/mol)

∆H° rxn = ∑ H bonds broken - ∑ H bonds formed

∆H° rxn = [ 1(945 kJ) + 3 (432 kJ) ] - [ 6 (389 k J]

∆H° rxn = 2,241 kJ -2334 kJ = -93 kJ

be careful when reading values from the reference table since you will find listed N-N bond energy (single bond), but we have instead a triple bond, N≡N, we have to use this one .
