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.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Use the formula (P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2
(12.8 * 100)/(-108 + 273) = (.855 * P2)/(22 + 273) Need to convert Celsius into Kelvins
1280/165 = (0.855 * P2)/295
7.755556 = 0.002898 * P2
P2 = 2676.18 kPa

if the percent by volume is 2% and the volume of solution is 250 mL what is the volume of solute and solution

Liula [17]

Answer:

Solute = 5 mL; solution = 250 mL

Explanation:

The formula for percent by volume is

$\text{Percent by volume} = \dfrac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}\times 100 \, \%$

If you have 250 mL of a solution that is 2 % v/v,

$\begin{array}{rcl}2 \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{Volume of solute}}{\text{250 mL}}\times 100 \, \%\\\\2 \times \text{ 250 mL} & = & \text{Volume of solute} \times 100\\\text{Volume of solute} & = & \dfrac{2 \times 250\text{ mL}}{100}\\\\ & = & \textbf{5 mL}\\\end{array}$

If there is no change of volume on mixing,

Volume of solution = 250 mL

-Volume of solute = 5

Volume of solvent = 245 mL
