Explain. Why are rift zones common places for igneous rock to form?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Rift zones are common places for igneous rock to form because the pulling apart of rocks decreased the pressure on buried rocks.

Explanation: magma can then form and solidify.

Using de Broglie's equation, λ = h/mv which would have a larger wavelength, a slow-moving proton or a fast-moving golf ball? Exp

tatuchka [14]

Answer: Proton will have larger wavelength

Explanation:

$\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}$ (de-Broglie's equation)

$\lambda =\text{wavelenght of the particle}$

h= Planck constant

m= mass of the particle

v= velocity of the particle

As we can see from the de-Broglie's equation , that wavelength is inversely proportional to the product of mass into velocity of the object.

The wavelength of proton will be higher than that fast moving golf ball because mass of proton $(1.67 \times 10^{-24}g)$ is very small than that of the golf ball (45.93 g). Proton is moving at slow velocity and the golf ball is moving with fast velocity by which value of product of mass into velocity of proton will be lower than the value of product of mass into velocity of the golf ball which will result in larger value of wavelength of the proton.

Sulfur and oxygen form both sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide. When samples of these were decomposed the sulfur dioxide produce

Zinaida [17]

Answer : The mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide is, 0.997 g and 1.5 g respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of oxygen in sulfur dioxide = 3.49 g

Mass of sulfur in sulfur dioxide = 3.50 g

Mass of oxygen in sulfur trioxide = 9.00 g

Mass of sulfur in sulfur trioxide = 6.00 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide = $\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of sulfur}}$

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide = $\frac{3.49}{3.50}=0.997g$

and,

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur trioxide = $\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of sulfur}}$

Mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur trioxide = $\frac{9.00}{6.00}=1.5g$

Thus, the mass of oxygen per gram of sulfur for sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide is, 0.997 g and 1.5 g respectively.

A substance that can behave as either an acid or a base is: anthocyanin a neutral substance an indicator an amphiprotic substanc

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

These substances are called amphiprotic. Water, amino acids, hydrogen carbonate ions, and hydrogen sulfate ions are common examples.

Explanation:

A substance is amphoteric (from Greek amphoteros = "each of two") if it can act as an acid or a base.

For example, aluminum hydroxide is amphoteric because it can act as a base and neutralize strong acids.
