What is the main reason that cause the subduction process?

Chemistry
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Subduction occurs when two plates collide at a convergent boundary, and one plate is driven beneath the other, back into the Earth’s interior. Not all convergence leads to subduction. Continental rocks are too buoyant to be forced downward, so when continents collide, they crumple but stay at the surface. Only oceanic plates, which are topped with basalt, are dense enough to sink into the mantle. As a result, only oceanic plates are subducted.

What are the molarity and osmolarity of a 1-liter solution that contains half a mole of calcium chloride? How many molecules of
givi [52]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.5 M

Osmolarity = 0.5 x 2 = 1 Osmpl.

Molecules of Cl2 = 6.02 x 10^{23} / 4= 1.505 x 10^{23} no. of molecules

Explanation:

If we add half mole in 1L volume than molarity will obviously be 0.5 M.

The osmolarity is molarity multiplies by number of dissociates of solute that for CaCl2 are 2. So, 2 x 0.5 = 1

Half will be molecules of Ca and half will be of Cl2 for 0.5M.
