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.

You have a graduated cylinder with 10 mL of water in it.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 10 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 300 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 40 - 10 = 30 mL

We have

$density = \frac{300}{30} = \frac{30}{3} \\$

We have the final answer as

What volume of 0.350 m koh is required to react completely with 24.0 ml of 0.650 m h3po4?

BartSMP [9]

The complete balanced chemical equation for this is:

First we calculate the number of moles of H3PO4:

moles H3PO4 = 0.650 moles / L * 0.024 L = 0.0156 mol

From stoichiometry, 3 moles of KOH is required for every mole of H3PO4, therefore:

moles KOH = 0.0156 mol H3PO4 * (3 moles KOH / 1 mole H3PO4) = 0.0468 mol

Calculating for volume given molarity of 0.350 M KOH:

Volume = 0.0468 mol / (0.350 mol / L) = 0.1337 L = 133.7 mL

Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs in each of the following equations:

Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d) Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 ✕ 10−15 at 100°C, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr2, CO, and Br2 as th

qaws [65]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Consider the following equilibrium at 100°C.

$COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)$

$K_c=4.74\times 10^4$

Concentration at equilibrium:

$[COBr_2]=1.58\times 10^{-6}M$

$[Co]=2.78\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Br_2]=2.51\times 10^{-5}M$

If a system has a reaction quotient of 2.13 × 10⁻¹⁵ at 100°c, what will happen to the concentrations of COBr₂, Co and Br₂ as the reaction proceeds to equilibrium?

Answer : The concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Q) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$COBr_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Br_2(g)$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q=\frac{[CO][Br_2]}{[COBr_2]}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$Q=\frac{(2.78\times 10^{-3})\times (2.51\times 10^{-5})}{(1.58\times 10^{-6})}=4.42\times 10^{-2}$

The given equilibrium constant value is, $K_c=4.74\times 10^4$

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

There are 3 conditions:

When $Q>K_c$ that means product > reactant. So, the reaction is reactant favored.

When $Q$ that means reactant > product. So, the reaction is product favored.

When $Q=K_c$ that means product = reactant. So, the reaction is in equilibrium.

From the above we conclude that, the $Q$ that means product < reactant. So, the reaction is product favored that means reaction must shift to the product (right) to be in equilibrium.

Hence, the concentrations of Co and Br₂ decreases and the concentrations of COBr₂ increases.
