Answer:

Because the location of many of the earth's natural resources like fertile soils, ore deposits, fossil fuels, and geothermal energy can be explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The cell reaction reaches equilibrium quickly and the cell emf becomes zero.

Explanation:

The purpose of a salt bridge is not to move electrons from the electrolyte, its main function is to maintain charge balance because the electrons are moving from one-half cell to the other.

A solution of a salt that dissociates easily is normally used. Water is ineffective at functioning as a salt bridge. Hence the effect stated in the answer.

The easiest way to determine whether a process is exothermic or endothermic is to note the change in temperature in a calorimete

Kryger [21]

Answer:

In the calorimeter, water is the exothermic. The salt LiCI, which will dissolve, is the endothermic. The final temperature of the water after the dissolution of LiCI was lower than the initial temperature, meaning the process is exothermic. In the microscopic view of the disspolution of LiCI, water molecules were seen to move slowly as they gained energy.

Explanation:

Exothermic is a process in which heat is released during the process. Endothermic reactions absorbs heat from surrounding during a chemical process. The dissolution of salt into water is an exothermic reaction. During this process heat is release and water molecules are broken down which are surrounded by salt ions.

Answer:

0.0660 moles

Explanation:

Change torr to atm and change celcius to kelvin.

(1.35L)(.987 atm)/(0.08206 L atm /mol k)(290k)

= 0.0660 mol

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS!

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

1. Brønsted-Lowry theory

An acid is a substance that can donate a proton to another substance.

A base is a substance that can accept a proton from another substance.

2. pH of ammonia

The chemical equation is

$\rm NH$_{3}$ + \text{H}$_{2}$O \, \rightleftharpoons \,$ NH$_{4}^{+}$ + \text{OH}$^{-}$$

For simplicity, let's re-write this as

$\rm B + H$_{2}$O \, \rightleftharpoons\,$ BH$^{+}$ + OH$^{-}$$

(a) Set up an ICE table.

B + H₂O ⇌ BH⁺ + OH⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.335 0 0

C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x

E/mol·L⁻¹: 0.335 + x x x

$\rm K_{\text{b}} = \dfrac{\text{[BH}^{+}]\text{[OH}^{-}]}{\text{[B]}} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.335 - x} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}$

Check for negligibility:

$\dfrac{0.335}{1.8 \times 10^{-5}} = 28 000 > 400\\\\x \ll 0.335$

(b) Solve for [OH⁻]

$\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.335} = 1.8 \times 10^{-5}\\\\x^{2} = 0.335 \times 1.8 \times 10^{-5}\\x^{2} = 6.03 \times 10^{-6}\\x = \sqrt{6.03 \times 10^{-6}}\\x = \text{[OH]}^{-} = \mathbf{2.46 \times 10^{-3}} \textbf{ mol/L}$

(c) Calculate the pOH

$\text{pOH} = -\log \text{[OH}^{-}] = -\log(2.46 \times 10^{-3}) = 2.61$

(d) Calculate the pH

pH = 14.00 - pOH = 14.00 - 2.61 = 11.39
