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.

Answer:

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Hg₂Cl₂(s) ⇄ Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)

The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) can be calculated using the following expression:

ΔG° = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) - ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

ΔG°f(i) are the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of reactants and products

ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂)

ΔG° = 1 mol × 148.85 kJ/mol + 2 mol × (-182.43 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-317.63 kJ/mol)

ΔG° = -533.64 kJ

Viefleur [7K]

Answer: When the electrons in an element are more than the required, a bond is formed with other element which has deficiency of electron and in case when electrons are less in numbers the vice versa happens. Such kind of chemical bonds are known as ionic bond.

Question 24 Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)<br> [BWS.02] Why is science important for society?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Because the scientific knowledge itself helps solve many basic human needs and it also improves how humans live and their standards. For example, without science medications wouldn´t exist and many technological devices we use now-a-days. We´re surrounded by science, we just don´t really notice it.

What is the empirical formula? A compound is used to treat iron deficiency in people. It contains 36.76% iron, 21.11% sulfur, an

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: The empirical formula of the compound is $Fe_1S_1O_4$

Explanation:

Empirical formula is defined formula which is simplest integer ratio of number of atoms of different elements present in the compound.

Percentage of iron in a compound = 36.76 %

Percentage of sulfur in a compound = 21.11 %

Percentage of oxygen in a compound = 42.13 %

Consider in 100 g of the compound:

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 36.76 g

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 21.11 g

Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 42.13 g

Now calculate the number of moles each element:

Moles of iron= $\frac{36.76 g}{55.84 g/mol}=0.658 mol$

Moles of sulfur= $\frac{21.11 g}{32.06 g/mol}=0.658 mol$

Moles of oxygen= $\frac{42.13 g}{16 g/mol}=2.633 mol$

Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles to calculated the ratio of the elements to each other

For Iron element = $\frac{0.658 mol}{0.658 mol}=1$

For sulfur element = $\frac{0.658 mol}{0.658 mol}=1$

For oxygen element = $\frac{2.633 mol}{0.658 mol}=4.001\approx 4$

So, the empirical formula of the compound is $Fe_1S_1O_4$

Answer:

salt in the Dead Sea is sodium chloride

while salt in the lab is either soluble or

insoluble in water.

Explanation:

The term 'salt' in the school laboratory does not always refer to sodium chloride. It is a generic term used for many substances especially those substances formed by neutralization reaction.

There are many salts that are used in the laboratory. Some of these salts are soluble in water while some are not soluble in water.

Salt in the dead sea always refers to sodium chloride, hence, salt in the dead sea is different from salt in the school laboratory.
