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

Chemistry
2 answers:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
7 0

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.

How many moles is 1.25 x 1024 atoms of bromine?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

2.08 moles (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

number of moles

= number of atoms ÷ Avogadro's constant

Avogadro's constant= 6.022 ×10²³

Thus, number of moles

= 1.25×10²⁴ ÷ (6.022 ×10²³)

= 2.08 moles (3 s.f.)

Classify the following as either solutions or colloids. If a colloid, name the type of colloid and identify both the dispersed a
aev [14]

Answer:

a. glucose in water( solution)

b. smoke in air (colloids)

c. carbon dioxide in air (solution)

d. milk( colloids)

Explanation:

A solution is said to be formed when a solute dissolves in a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The solute particles are less than 10^-9m in size. Familiar solutions are those where the solute are dissolved in a liquid solvent. When the liquid water, the solution is known as an aqueous solution. A typical example is (glucose in water). In some other cases, the apparent solution of a solute in a solvent is accompanied by a chemical reaction and this is often known as a chemical reaction. A typical example is (carbon dioxide in air).

Colloids are also known as false solutions. Here, the individual solute particles are larger than the particles of the true solution, but not large enough to be seen by the naked eye. When a light beam is placed beside a beaker containing a colloid, the light rays of the beam can be clearly seen. This shows that it exhibits the Tyndall effect while a solution dosent exhibit such.

In a colloid, the liquid solvent is more appropriately know as the DISPERSION medium while the solid solute particles constitute the DISPERSED substance. This can either be solid, liquid or gas.

For example:

--> smoke in air : Dispersion medium is gas while the dispersed substance is solid.

--> milk: Dispersion medium is liquid while the dispersed substance is liquid.
