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.

C2H4O2 + NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2 list the reactants in this chemical reaction

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

C₂H₄O₂ and NaC₂H₃O₂ are reactants.

Explanation:

Word equation:

Acetic acid + sodium acetate → sodium diacetate

Chemical equation:

C₂H₄O₂ + NaC₂H₃O₂ → C₄H₇NaO₄

This is a synthesis reaction in which simple reactants combine to form complex product.

This is also balanced chemical equation because there are equal number of atoms of all elements on both side of equation. Thus it follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
