Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

According to the continental drift theory, the continents moved from one place to another with respect to the poles. Although many pieces of evidence had been contributed by Mr. Alfred Wegener, the main mechanism behind this was not able to explain.

Later on, this theory modified into a new one, commonly known as the plate tectonic theory that explains that the continents move over the layer of the asthenosphere due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. This is possible because of the heat radiated from the interior of the earth.

Thus, it was concluded that initially the earth was comprised of a single super-continent named 'Pangea', which got split into Laurasia and Gondwanaland due to the plate tectonic movement. This process further continued at a much slower rate which resulted in the present-day location of the continents.

Thus, the above-given statement is False.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

If all the water in 430.0 mL of a 0.45 M NaCI solution evaporates what is the mass of NaCI will remain
skad [1K]

Answer:

11.31 g.

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).

<em>∴ M = (mass/molar mass)of NaCl/(V of the solution (L)).</em>

<em></em>

<em>∴ mass of NaCl remained after evaporation of water = (M)(V of the solution (L))(molar mass)</em> = (0.45 M)(0.43 L)(58.44 g/mol) = <em>11.31 g.</em>
