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.

Which has the higher percentage of aluminum, Al2O, or Al(NO3)3
Rzqust [24]

Al₂O  has a higher percentage of aluminium.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to compare the molar mass of the aluminium in each compound to one another as percentage of the whole compound:

Molar mass of Al₂O = 2(27) + 16 = 70g/mol

Molar mass of Al(NO₃)₃ = 27 + 3[14 + 3(16)] = 213g/mol

Percentage by mass of Al in Al₂O = \frac{2x27}{70} x 100 = 77%

Percentage by mass of Al in  Al(NO₃)₃ = \frac{27}{213} x 100 = 12.7%

Al₂O  has a higher percentage of aluminium.

Identify whether each species functions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base in this net ionic equation. HF (aq) +
VMariaS [17]

Explanation:

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton in the form of a hydrogen (H) atom.

On the other hand;

Bronsted-Lowry acid is the substance that donates the proton.

HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3-

In the forward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HF

Bronsted-Lowry base: SO32-

In the backward reaction;

Bronsted-Lowry acid : HSO3-

Bronsted-Lowry base: F-

The conjugate base of HF is F-

The conjugate acid of SO32- is HSO3-

A chemical reaction involves reactant species A, B, and C. Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of sp
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Explanation:

The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of the reactants is given by the reaction order of each one, as shown in the rate equation.

Rate=k.[A]^{x} .[B]^{y} .[C]^{z}

where,

k is the rate constant

x, y, z are the reaction orders.

  • <em>The rate of reaction is not affected by changing the concentration of species A.</em> This means that the reaction order for A is x = 0 since when its concentration changes, the rate stays the same.
  • <em>Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of species B increases the rate by a factor of 4.</em> This means that the reaction order for B is y = 2, so when the concentration is doubled, the new rate is 2² = 4 times the initial rate.
  • The rate of the reaction is linearly dependent on the concentration of C. This means that the reaction order for C is z = 1, that is, a linear dependence.

All in all, the rate equation is:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Is a solution a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture
Alja [10]

Answer:

Solutions are always homogeneous.

Explanation:

Solution:

Solution are considered homogeneous because in solution the ratio of solute and solvent remain the same throughout the solution. Both solute and solvent are chemically combined and form a new substance.

In solution the particles of solute can not be seen through naked eye.

When the light is passed through the solution it can not scattered.

Example:

When salt is dissolve in water it makes a solution.

The solution also exist in gaseous form. For example oxygen and many other gases dissolved in nitrogen also form a solution.

Mixture:

In mixture substance are physically combined. In mixture every every individual particle retain their properties.

It can be consist of solid, liquid and gas.

Examples:

Sand in water is also a mixture.

Oil in water form mixture.
