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).

dentify the correct formula for the following ionic compounds. - sodium chloride - magnesium chloride - calcium oxide - lithium
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

The chemical formula of an ionic compound can be written by using the symbols of the respective cations and anions.

The overall charge on the molecule should be zero.

Hence, the total charge of cations=total charge of anions.

The symbols of the given molecules are shown below:

sodium chloride  ---- NaCl

magnesium chloride ---MgCl_2

calcium oxide ---- CaO

lithium phosphide----Li_3P

aluminum sulfide ----- Al_2S_3

calcium nitride---- Ca_3N_2

What is the total number of grams of h2o produced when 22 grams of propane undergoes complete combustion?
SSSSS [86.1K]
The combustion reaction of propane would be expressed as:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

To determine the mass of water that is produced from the given amount of propane, we use the mass of propane and the relation of the substances from the balanced reaction. We do as follows:

moles propane = 22 g C3H8 ( 1 mol / 44.1 g ) = 0.50 mol C3H8
moles H2O = 0.50 mol C3H8 ( 4 mol H2O / 1 mol C3H8) = 2 mol H2O
mass H2O = 2 mol H2O ( 18.02 g / 1 mol ) = 36.04 g H2O

Therefore, the mass of water that is produced from 22 grams of propane would be 36.04 g.

A kernel of popcorn contains a small amount of water and when heated the popcorn pops. How can you explain this to someone
Aliun [14]
When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.
