Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The heat plays the most important role that forms the convection current in the mantle.

According to the universally accepted plate tectonic theory, The earth's crust is comprised of numerous plates, both large and small. These plates are of 2 types, commonly termed as the continental and oceanic plate.

These plates are constantly in motion because of the formation of the convection current in the mantle. This current forms due to the heat supplied by the interior of the earth.

This heat allows the convection current to form in the mantle, forcing the plates to move over the less dense, viscous layer of asthenosphere.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

How many grams of NaOH are needed to make 500 mL of a 2.5 M NaOH solution
Veronika [31]
The number of grams  of NaOH  that are needed to make 500 ml of 2.5 M NaOH solution

calculate the number of moles =molarity x volume/1000

= 2.5 x 500/1000 = 1.25 moles

mass = moles  x molar mass of NaOH

= 1.25 x40= 50 grams of NaOH

When the concentration of reactant molecules is increased
a_sh-v [17]

Complete question is;

When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this phenomenon is that as the reactant concentration increases,

A)the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.

B)the frequency of molecular collisions increases.

C)the rate constant increases.

D)the activation energy increases.

E)the order of reaction increases.

Answer:

B) The frequency of molecular collisions increases.

Explanation:

When we increase number of reactant molecules, the effective collision between the reactant molecules will form a product which also increases. As a result, the overall rate of the reaction will also increase which means the frequency of the molecular collision will also increase as well.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B
