Answer:

The Earth’s lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle, is made up of a series of pieces, or tectonic plates, that move slowly over time.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Pacific Ring of Fire are two examples of divergent plate boundaries.

C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g) ΔH = –137.5 kJ; ΔS = –120.5 J/K Calculate ΔG at 25 °C and determine whether the reaction is spontaneou

Katen [24]

Answer:-ΔG=-101.5KJ

Explanation:We have to calculate ΔG for the reaction so using the formula given in the equation we can calculate the \Delta G for the reaction.

We need to convert the unit ofΔS in terms of KJ/Kelvin as its value is given in terms of J/Kelvin

Also we need to convert the temperature in Kelvin as it is given in degree celsius.

$\Delta H=-137.5\\ \Delta S=-120J/K\\ \Delta S=-0.120KJ/K\\ T=25^{.C}\\ T=273+25=298 K\\ \Delta G=?\\ \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\Delta G=-137.5KJ-(278\times -0.120)\\ \Delta G=-137.5+35.76\\\Delta G=-101.74\\\Delta G=Negative$

After calculating forΔG we found that the value ofΔG is negative and its value is -101.74KJ

For a reaction to be spontaneous the value of \Delta G \ must be negative .

As the ΔG for the given reaction is is negative so the reaction will be spontaneous in nature.

In this reaction since the entropy of reaction is positive and hence when we increase the temperature term then the overall term TΔS would become more positive and hence the value of ΔG would be less negative .

Hence the value of ΔG would become more positive with the increase in temperature.

So we found the value of ΔG to be -101.74KJ

The sample of 15.0 g of KCl is dissolved into a solution with a total volume of 250.0 mL. What is the molarity of KCl in the sol

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.805 M.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is computing by dividing the moles of solute over the volume of solution in liters (M=n/V), for 15.0 g of potassium chloride (74.55 g/mol) we compute the corresponding moles:

$n=15.0gKCl*\frac{1molKCl}{74.55gKCl}=0.201molKCl$

Next, since the volume is 0.2500 in liters, the molarity turns out:

$M=\frac{0.201mol}{0.2500L} \\\\M=0.805M$

Best regards!

Vhat determines a substance's state of matter?

swat32

The amount of energy in molecules of matter determines the state of matter. Matter can exist in one of several different states, including a gas, liquid, or solid state. ... A gas is a state of matter in which atoms or molecules have enough energy to move freely.
