Answer:

The validation of seafloor spreading in the 1950s and 60s

Explanation:

The theory of seafloor spreading was supported by numerous evidence including thermal probes that showed that heat flow over the mid-ocean ridges measured up to four times those measured in general bottom sediments, which are taken as due to the presence of molten Earth material close to the ridge crest

The ridge crest also show signs unusually seismic wave velocities that are considered to be due to microfracturing and thermal expansion from upwelling magma

viktelen [127]

Answer:    n = 3.0 moles

V = 60.0 L

T = 400 K

From PV = nRT, you can find P

P = nRT/V = (3.0 mol)(0.0821 L-atm/K-mol)(400 K)/60.0L

P = 1.642 atm = 1.6 atm (to 2 significant figures)

Decide which element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of cesium.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take a look at the attachment below

Explanation:

Take a look at the periodic table. As you can see, Rubidium is the closest element to Cesium, and happens to have the closest boiling point to Cesium, with only a difference of about 30 degrees.

Respectively, you would think that fluorine should have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, considering it is the farthest away from the element out of the 4 given. This is not an actual rule, there are no fixed trends of boiling points in the periodic table, there are some but overall the trends vary. However in this case fluorine does have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, a difference of about 1,546.6 degrees.

<em>Hope that helps!</em>
