Why do hotspots appear to move in relation to tectonic plates?

Chemistry

olga_2 [115]3 years ago

Answer:

The heat that fuels the hot spot comes from very deep in the planet. This heat causes the mantle in that region to melt. The molten magma rises up and breaks through the crust to form a volcano. While the hot spot stays in one place, rooted to its deep source of heat, the tectonic plate is slowly moving above it.

What makes a metal and a non metal most
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reactivity of elements in the periodic table is based on the number of electrons in there outermost shell. Elements (metals) that have few electrons in there outermost shell are highly reactive because it is easier to lose fewer number of electrons (in the outermost shell during a reaction) than to lose more electrons in the outermost shell - thus metals that have one electron in there outermost shell are most reactive and are more reactive than those that have two electrons in there outermost shell. Hence, metals in group 1 are the most reactive metals because they all have one electron in there outermost shell.

Non-metals that have fewer electrons to complete there octet configuration are highly reactive because it is easier to gain fewer number of electrons (in the outermost shell during a reaction) than to gain more number of electrons - thus nonmetals that have seven electrons in there outermost shell are more reactive than nonmetals that have six electrons in there outermost shell. Hence, nonmetals in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals because they contain seven electrons and have just one electron left to complete there octet configuration.

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq) , as described b
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

0.676 grams of manganese (IV) oxide should be added.

Explanation:

Moles of chlorine gas = n

Volume of the chlorine gas = V = 205 mL = 0.205 L

Pressure of the chlorine gas = 705 Torr = \frac{705}{760}atm=0.928 atm

1 atm = 760 Torr

Temperature of the chlorine gas = T = 25°C = 25 + 273 K = 298 K

PV=nRT ( ideal gs equation)

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.928 atm\times 0.205 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298 K}=0.00777 mol

MnO_2(s)+4HCl(aq)\rightarrow MnCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)+Cl_2(g)

According to reaction, 1 mole of chlorine gas is obtained from  1 mole of manganese(IV) oxide,then 0.00777 moles of chlorine gas will be obtained from :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00777 mol=0.00777 mol of manganese (IV) oxide

Mass of 0.00777 moles of manganese (IV) oxide:

0.00777 mol × 87 g/mol = 0.676 g

0.676 grams of manganese (IV) oxide should be added.
