Describe the theory of plate tectonics

Chemistry
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.

Which of the following is a buffer system? Which of the following is a buffer system? H2CO3(aq) and KHCO3(aq) NaCl(aq) and NaOH(
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as an aqueous mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

In the systems:

H₂CO₃(aq) and KHCO₃(aq): Carbonic acid, H₂CO₃, is a weak acid that, in solution with its conjugate pair, HCO₃⁻ make a <em>buffer system.</em>

NaCl(aq) and NaOH(aq): NaCl is a salt and NaOH is a strong base. Thus, this system <em>is not </em> a buffer system.

H₂O(l) and HCl(aq): Water is a solvent and HCl a strong acid. This <em>is not </em>a buffer system.

HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq): HCl is a strong acid and NaOH a strong base. This <em>is not </em>a buffer system.

NaCl(aq) and NaNO₃(aq): Both NaCl and NaNO₃ are salts and this system <em>is not </em>a buffer system.

Which of the following best explains why you sanded the copper wire before burning it? to create less friction between the coppe
artcher [175]

The copper wire was sanded before burning in order to make sure that copper metal was exposed on the surface of the wire.

Answer: B

Explanation

The copper wire when placed in atmosphere without coating leads to oxidation of copper metal with respect to the impurities present in the atmosphere.

As copper is electropositive in nature, so electronegative ions present in the universe will try to react with copper and the copper will react easily with other elements.

So generally copper wire is coated with color or polymer coating.

In this case, the copper wire without any coating is sanded, so that the eddy sheets or polishing materials on friction with copper wire will remove the impurities by the electrostatic law of conservation of charges and charge transfer.

As the impurities are removed when copper wire is sanded, the copper atoms will be exposed on the surface of the wire leading to burning of copper in the copper wire.
