This table compares magnitude and depth of four earthquakes occurring between 1955 - 2017. The surface changes that occur as a r

esult of earthquakes begin in Earth's crust. What conclusion can be drawn about earthquake activity within Earth's crust based on the data shown?
A) Earthquake depth has continuously increased throughout the past century.


B) Higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust.


C) The higher an earthquake's magnitude, the deeper in Earth's crust it occurs.


D) Earthquake magnitude has continuously decreased throughout the past century.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "Higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust".

Explanation:

The table shows data of magnitude and depth of earthquakes that occurred at different time and at different locations. By analyzing the data we can conclude that higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust. At first glance we can thought that higher-magnitude earthquakes occur at high depth. However, the earthquake of Michoacan have a higher-magnitude than the earthquake of Alexandria (8 and 6.3, respectively), and the earthquake of Michoacan occurred at 12 miles of depth, while the earthquake of Alexandria occurred at 15 miles of depth.

What is the molarity of a solution if 300.0 ml of it contains 16.8 g of kno3? [formula weight: kno3, 101.11 amu]?
AVprozaik [17]
The molarity is count by dividing the mole of the solute within 1 liter of solvent. In this case, the KNO3 is 16.8g with 101.11 g/mol molar mass. Then we need to find the mol first. The calculation would be: 16.8g / (101.11g/mol)= 0.0166 mol.

Then the molarity would be: 0.0166mol/ 0.3l= 0.0498= 0.0553 M

Calculate the specific heat of a substance when 63j of energy are transferred as heat to an 8.0 g sample to raise it temperature
Flura [38]

The formula for energy or enthalpy is:

E = m Cp (T2 – T1)

where E is energy = 63 J, m is mass = 8 g, Cp is the specific heat, T is temperature

 

63 J = 8 g * Cp * (340 K – 314 K)

<span>Cp = 0.3 J / g K</span>

using the equation you wrote determine how many moles of butane c4h10 are needed to react with 5.5 moles of oxygen
GaryK [48]

Answer:

0.846 moles.

Explanation:

  • This is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of complete combustion of butane is:

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

  • It is clear from the stichiometry of the balanced equation that complete combustion of 1.0 mole of butane needs 6.5 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 5 moles of H₂O.

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

  • 1.0 mole of C₄H₁₀ reacts with → 6.5 moles of O₂
  • ??? moles of C₄H₁₀ are needed to react with → 5.5 moles of O₂
  • The number of moles of C₄H₁₀ that are needed to react with 5.5 moles of O₂ = (1.0 x 5.5 moles of O₂) / (6.5 moles of O₂) = 0.846 moles.
