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.

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.

The ideal gas has been given as the gas where there has been negligible amount of interatomic collisions. The ideal gas equation has been given as:

$PV=nRT$

<h3>Computation for the moles of gas</h3>

The gi<em>ve</em>n gas has standard pressure, $P=1\rm atm$

The volume of the gas has been, $V= 0. 500 \;\rm L$

The temperature of the gas has been, $T=15^\circ \text C\\
T=288\;\rm K$

Substituting the values for the moles of gas, <em>n:</em>

<em />

<em /> $\rm 1\;\times\; 0. 500 =\textit n\;\times\;0.08214\;atm.L/mol.K\;\times\;288\;K\\\\
\textit n=\dfrac{0. 500}{0.08214\;\times\;288} \;mol\\\\
\textit n=0.021\;mol$

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.
