Answer:

Rocks get older as we go away from the Mid Atlantic Ridge towards the continents

Explanation:

As the plates move away from each other, new ocean lithosphere is created at the ridge. This also widens the ocean basin and leads to sea floor spreading.

The rock of the ocean floor are symmetrically aligned and they get become older as they move away from the crest of the ridge.

Thus, rocks get older as we go away from the Mid Atlantic Ridge towards the continents

Svet_ta [14]

According to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be destroyed nor created in a chemical reaction. Thus, sum of masses of reactants must be equal to sum of masses of products in a reaction.

The chemical reaction is as follows:

$2Cu+O_{2}\rightarrow 2CuO$

Here, sum of masses of Cu and oxygen gas should be equal to CuO formed.

$2m_{Cu}+m_{O_{2}}=2m_{CuO}$

Thus, mass of oxygen will be:

$m_{O_{2}}=2(572.4-508.4)g=128 g$

This can be further proved as follows:

The balanced chemical reaction is as follows:

$2Cu+O_{2}\rightarrow 2CuO$

Here, 2 moles of Cu completely reacts with 1 mole of $O_{2}$ to give 2 moles of $CuO$ .

Thus, 1 mole of Cu reacts with 0.5 moles of $O_{2}$ .

The mass of Cu is 508.4 and molar mass is 63.546 g/mol, number of moles can be calculated as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}=\frac{508.4 g}{63.546 g/mol}=8 mol$

Thus, number of moles of $O_{2}$ reacting will be:

$n_{O_{2}}=8\times 0.5 mol=4 mol$

Molar mass of oxygen molecule is 32 g/mol thus, mass can be calculated as follows:

m=n×M=4 mol×32 g/mol=128 g/mol

This satisfies the law of conservation of mass.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

D) saturated fat

Explanation:

Saturated fat -

It is a form of fat , where saturation is present , i.e. , presence of single bonds , it is a type of very unhealthy fat .

Butter , red meat , coconut oils and palm are rich in saturated fat , and are mostly in solid state at room temperature .

These fats often tends to be collected in the walls of arteries , and , can act as a restriction to the flow of blood .

Hence , the correct option for the given information of the question is saturated fat .

over a 12.3 minuete period 5.13 E-3 moles of F2 gas effuses from a contaier. How many moles of CH4 gas could effuse from from th

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer : The moles of methane gas could be, $7.90\times 10^{-3}mol$

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

$R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$

or,

$(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$

$[\frac{(\frac{n_1}{t_1})}{(\frac{n_2}{t_2})}]=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$

where,

$R_1$ = rate of effusion of fluorine gas

$R_2$ = rate of effusion of methane gas

$n_1$ = moles of fluorine gas = $5.13\times 10^{-3}mol$

$n_2$ = moles of methane gas = ?

$t_1=t_2$ = time = 12.3 min (as per question)

$M_1$ = molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mole

$M_2$ = molar mass of methane gas = 16 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$[\frac{(\frac{5.13\times 10^{-3}mol}{12.3min})}{(\frac{n_2}{12.3min})}]=\sqrt{\frac{16g/mole}{38g/mole}}$

$n_2=7.90\times 10^{-3}mol$

Therefore, the moles of methane gas could be, $7.90\times 10^{-3}mol$

Why did construction of the Panama Canal become

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(4) The navy needed a faster way to move ships between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Explanation:

The Panama Canal was an artificial eighty-two (82) kilometers water-way that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean in Panama and it enhanced maritime trades.

The construction of the Panama Canal became more important to the United States after the Spanish-American War because the navy needed a faster way to move ships

between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
