What cause a earthquake

1 answer:

6 0

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. ... When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Velocity is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. O A. True False

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The slope of a velocity-time graph gives acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity with time.

A slope denotes the gradient of line. It takes into consideration the changes on both y and x axis. The ratio of the changes gives the slope.

On a velocity-time graph, the y-axis is the velocity and the x-axis is time. The change in velocity with time gives acceleration.

The slope of an acceleration

-time graph is not velocity.

How many phases are in a homogeneous mixture??

Mars2501 [29]

Technically there is only one phase unless you account for a solution where you have a pure liquid with something dissolved in it. Unless you count aqueous as a phase which is just dissolved. Since you are in high school the answer you are looking for is one.

g When aqueous solutions of and are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M is mixed

solong [7]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When aqueous solutions of NaCl and $Pb(NO_3)_2$ are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M NaCl is mixed with an excess of an aqueous solution of

Answer: The mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{ \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

Molarity of NaCl = 0.1000 M

Volume of the solution = 140.7 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.1000=\frac{\text{Moles of NaCl}\times 1000}{140.7}\\\\\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{0.1000\times 140.7}{1000}=0.01407mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCl and lead nitrate follows:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NaCl produces 1 mole of lead chloride

So, 0.01407 moles of NaCl will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01407=0.007035mol$ of lead chloride

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(2)

Molar mass of lead chloride = 278.1 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 2:

$\text{Mass of lead chloride}=(0.007035mol\times 278.1g/mol)=1.96g$

Hence, the mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

A 7.12 L cylinder contains 1.21 mol of gas A and 4.94 mol of gas B, at a temperature of 28.1 °C. Calculate the partial pressure

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$P_A=4.20atm\\\\P_B=17.1atm$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the equation for the ideal gas is:

$PV=nRT$

For each gas, given the total volume, temperature (28.1+273.15=301.25K) and moles, we can easily compute the partial pressure as shown below:

$P_A=\frac{n_ART}{V} =\frac{1.21mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*301.25K}{7.12L} \\\\P_A=4.20atm\\\\P_B=\frac{n_BRT}{V} =\frac{4.94mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*301.25K}{7.12L} \\\\P_B=17.1atm$

Best regards!
