Which of the following BEST explains why the tectonic plates of Earth move?

Chemistry

Answer:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth’s mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet’s interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other.

If after heating the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid, the mass of the magnesium chloride and beaker is measured
Allushta [10]

Since the beaker was heated we can asume that only magnesium cloride is left in the beaker, therfore the difference between the beaker with magnesium chloride and the empty beaker give the mass of magnisium chloride:

\text{mass MgCl}_2=massbeakerwithMgCl_2-mass\text{ emprty beaker =37.83 g - 33.95g = 3.8}8g

Consider the reaction: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O
crimeas [40]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a)  80 g of O2

b) O2, 15.13 g of CO2

c) It's not posible to know which is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Reaction                             CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

a. Calculate the grams of O2 needed to react with 20.00 grams of CH4. _____________

MW CH4 = 16 g

MW O2 = 32 g

                               16 g of CH4 ----------------  2(32) g of O2

                               20 g              --------------    x

                               x = (20 x 64) / 16 = 80 g of O2

b. Given 15.00 g. of CH4 and 22.00 g. of O2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the grams of CO2 that can be produced. LR _________ grams CO2 _________ .  

                                CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

                                15 g         22 g

                                16 g of CH4 ----------------  64 g of O2

                                15 g of CH4  ---------------   x

                               x = (15 x 64) / 16 = 60 g of O2

The Limiting reactant is O2 because it is necessary 60g of O2 for 16 g of CH4 and there are only 22.

                                 CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O

                        64 g of O2 ------------------  44 g of CO2

                        22 g of O2 ------------------   x

                        x = (22 x 44)/ 64 = 15. 13 g of CO2

c. For the reaction CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O, if you have 10.31 g. of CH4 and an unknown amount of oxygen, and form 20.00 g. of CO2, i. Identify if there is a limiting reactant ______________ ii. Calculate the number of grams of the limiting reactant present if there is one. ______________  

                           CH4   +   2O2   ⇒   CO2   +   2H2O                              

                           10.31 g                     20 g

We can identify the limiting reactant if we know the quantity of the reactants, if we only know the quantity of one it is not posible to which is the limiting reactant.
