Early scientists think that plate motion was driven by

1 answer:

3 0

Scientist Alfred Wegener thought in the early through middle 1900s that the plate movement was a "modern" version of the continental drift.
Today's scientists have now proven that plate motion is driven by the currents of convection in the asthenosphere and the overlying lithosphere. The downward pull on the plates cause the motion.

I hope this helps!

Cryolite (Na3AlF6) is used in the production of aluminum from its ores. It is made by the reaction 6 NaOH 1 Al2O3 1 12 HF 8n 2 N

kap26 [50]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of cryolite produced in the reaction is 1181.8 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium oxide = 287 g

Molar mass of aluminium oxide = 102 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium oxide}=\frac{287g}{102g/mol}=2.814mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$6NaOH+Al_2O_3+12HF\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of aluminium oxide produces 2 moles of cryolite

So, 2.814 moles of aluminium oxide will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 2.814=5.628mol$ of cryolite

Now, calculating the mass of cryolite by using equation 1:

Moles of cryolite = 5.628 moles

Molar mass of cryolite = 210 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$5.628mol=\frac{\text{Mass of cryolite}}{210g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of cryolite}=(5.628mol\times 210g/mol)=1181.8g$

Hence, the mass of cryolite produced in the reaction is 1181.8 g

What is the work done when a force of 5 N is applied to a ball and it moves 8000 cm?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Explanation:Given;

applied force, F = 8000 N

time of force application, t = 15 s

Work done is given as the product of force and displacement. Since the car is unable to move, then the displacement is zero and the work done is zero.

Work done = Force x displacement

Work done = 8000 N x 0

Work done = 0

Therefore, the work done is zero.
