The mechanism for how continents can move 
pentagon [3]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The continental drifting refers to the shifting of the continents over the large oceanic body with respect to the poles of both the hemisphere. Alfred Wegener was the person which proposed this theory. He gave many evidences in support of this theory such as the fitting of the continental margins, presence of similar fossils in the separated continents, similar rock sequences present in the different continents. These evidences were helpful up to certain extent, but he was unable to explain the main mechanism behind this plate motion.

This is why his theory was not accepted by many scientists.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

How can you make a saturated solution from a supersaturated solution?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

warming up the solution.

Explanation:

  • A saturated solution is a chemical solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. ​The additional solute will not dissolve in a saturated solution.

  • Supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances.

  • A saturated solution can become supersaturated when it is cooled.

  • Also, we can form a saturated solution from a supersaturated solution via warming up the solution:

<em>The solubility of solid solutes in liquid solvents increases as the solvent is warmed up.</em>

a balloon contains 30.0 L of helium gas at 103 kPA. what is the volume of the helium when the balloon rises to an altitude where
stiv31 [10]
Answer:
                V₂  =  123.6 L

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law pressure and volume of a gas are inversely related if amount and temperature are kept constant. For the initial and final states the gas law is given as,

                                                P₁ V₁  =  P₂ V₂     ----- (1)
Data Given;
                   P₁  =  103 kPa

                   V₁  =  30 L

                   P₂  =  25 kPa

                   V₂  =  ?

Solution:

Solving equation 1 for V₂,

                                        V₂  =  P₁ V₁ / P₂

Putting values,
                                        V₂  =  (103 kPa × 30 L) ÷ 25 kPa

                                        V₂  =  123.6 L

Result:
           As the pressure is decreased from 103 kPa to 25 kPa, therefore, volume has increased from 30 L to 123.6 L.

Xcc of 5N HCL was diluted to 1 litre of normal solution calculate the value of x​
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

200cc of 5N HCl were diluted

Explanation:n

<em>Assuming the solution was diluted to prepare a 1N HCl solution:</em>

The HCl was diluted from 5N to 1N, that is a dilution of:

5N / 1N = 5 times

As the total volume of the diluted solution is 1L = 1000mL = 1000cc the amount of the concentrated solution was:

1000cc / 5 =

<h3>200cc of 5N HCl were diluted</h3>
