Describe the theory of plate tectonics

Chemistry
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
8 0

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.

For metalloids on the periodic table, how do the group number and the period number relate?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Metalloid : Metaloids are the elements whose properties lie between the metals and non-metals.

There are six commonly elements which are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. The rare elements are polonium and astatine.

The relation between the group number and period number of metalloid is that the lower the group number, the lower the period numbers and the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right in the periodic table.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.

Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid

The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>

∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ

Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.

pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid

pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid

<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>

NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>
