How are tectonic plates related to earthquakes and volcanoes?

Chemistry
1 answer:
patriot [66]3 years ago
8 0

Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

If the solubility of a gas is 10.5 g/L at 525 kPa pressure, what is the solubility of the gas when the pressure is 225 kPa? Show
Talja [164]

Answer:

4.5 g/L.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
  • Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.
  • It can be expressed as: P = KS,

P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution.

K is the Henry's law constant,

S is the solubility of the gas.

  • At two different pressures, we have two different solubilities of the gas.

<em>∴ P₁S₂ = P₂S₁.</em>

P₁ = 525.0 kPa & S₁ = 10.5 g/L.

P₂ = 225.0 kPa & S₂ = ??? g/L.

∴ S₂ = P₂S₁/P₁ = (225.0 kPa)(10.5 g/L) / (525.0 kPa) = 4.5 g/L.
