Answer:

In the explanation

Explanation:

Divergent: When two plates are diverging from each other, meaning that the two plates are moving away from each other. Events that may occur include ridges or rifts.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other.

If a continental plate and an oceanic plate are converging, the oceanic plate would slide underneath the continental plate since it is thinner. This would result in subduction, which means that part of the oceanic plate would hang underneath the continental plate, where magma can melt the hanging part.

If two continental plates are converging, the crash would result in mountains or volcanic activity. Magma could rise and rush from the crack. There would be a bump in these tectonic plates.

Transform: When two plates are sliding past each other. Earthquakes can occur when the plates are sliding. When an oceanic plate is involved, the movement of the plates could cause a tsunami as well. The water above the transform fault could rise, and grow bigger and bigger. The 2011 Japan Tsunami is a good example of this.

What is the vapor pressure of the solution if 35.0 g of water is dissolved in 100.0 g of ethyl alcohol at 25 ∘C? The vapor press

masya89 [10]

Answer: The vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For water:

Given mass of water = 35.0 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{35.0g}{18g/mol}=1.944mol$

For ethyl alcohol:

Given mass of ethyl alcohol = 100.0 g

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethyl alcohol}=\frac{100.0g}{46g/mol}=2.174mol$

Total moles of solution = [1.944 = 2.174] moles = 4.118 moles

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

For water:

$\chi_{\text{water}}=\frac{n_{\text{water}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}$

$\chi_{water}=\frac{1.944}{4.118}=0.472$

For ethyl alcohol:

$\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}{n_{\text{water}}+n_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}}$

$\chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}=\frac{2.174}{4.118}=0.528$

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the vapor pressure of the solution, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

$P_T=\sum_{i=1}^n (p_i\times \chi_i)$

Or,

$P_T=[(p_{\text{water}}\times \chi_{\text{water}})+(p_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}\times \chi_{\text{ethyl alcohol}}$

We are given:

Vapor pressure of water = 23.8 mmHg

Vapor pressure of ethyl alcohol = 61.2 mmHg

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p_T=[(23.8\times 0.472)+(61.2\times 0.528)]\\\\p_T=43.55mmHg$

Hence, the vapor pressure of the solution is 43.55 mmHg

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?

Naily [24]

Answer:

c. 20.0332 g to 20,0 g

Explanation:

A significant figure is each of the digits of a number that are used to express it to the required degree of accuracy, starting from the first non-zero digit, with the exception of the trailing zeros.

Which of the following examples illustrates a number that is correctly rounded to three significant figures?

a. 109 526 g to 109 500 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 109 500.

b. 0.03954 g to 0.040 g. NO. The rounded number has 2 significant figures: 0.040.

c. 20.0332 g to 20.0 g. YES. The rounded number has 3 significant figures: 20.0.

d. 04.05438 g to 4.054 g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 4.054.

e. 103.692 g to 103.7g. NO. The rounded number has 4 significant figures: 103.7.

The constant

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

75 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reactions occur at a rate, which means that the concentration of the reagents decays at a time. The rate law is a function of the concentrations and of the rate constant (k) which depends on the temperature of the reaction.

The activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy that the reagents must have so the reaction will happen. The rate constant is related to the activation energy by the Arrhenius equation:

ln(k) = ln(A) -Ea/RT

Where A is a constant of the reaction, which doesn't depend on the temperature, R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol.K), and T is the temperature. So, for two different temperatures, if we make the difference between the two equations:

ln(k1) - ln(k2) = ln(A) - Ea/RT1 - ln(A) + Ea/RT2

ln (k1/k2) = (Ea/R)*(1/T2 - 1/T1)

k1 = 8.3x10⁸, T1 = 142.0°C = 415 K

k2 = 6.9x10⁶, T2 = 67.0°C = 340 K

ln(8.3x10⁸/6.9x10⁶) = (Ea/8.314)*(1/340 - 1/415)

4.8 = 6.39x10⁻⁵Ea

Ea = 75078 J/mol

Ea = 75 kJ/mol
