Write down your understanding of plate tectonics.

Chemistry
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.

If you were going to build a system to check the effectiveness of automobile catalytic converters on cars, what substances would
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbon

Explanation:

An automobile catalytic converter is a substance that catalyses redox reactions that convert toxic gases emanating from an automobile engine to less toxic gases.

The substance work by converting carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water and oxides of nitrogen to nitrogen and oxygen gas respectively.

<em>Hence, in order to check the effectiveness of a catalytic converter, unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen are substances to watch out for in the car exhaust. None of these gases should be found in an exhaust with effective catalytic converter and vice versa. </em>

Calculation: If a compound is 14.40% hydrogen by mass and 85.60% carbon by mass, what is the empirical formula?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

CH2

Explanation:

We are given that a compound is 14.40% hydrogen and 85.60% carbon.

Let the mass of the substance be 100g.

Mass of the hydrogen: 14.40% of 100 = 14.40 g

Mass of the carbon: 85.60% of 100 = 85.60 g

Now, let's find the moles of hydrogen:

14.40 g*\frac{1 mole}{1gH} = 14.40 mole

Moles of carbon:

85.60g*\frac{1 mol}{12gC} = 7.13mol

Let's put these in a ratio and simplify:

7.13 mole C: 14.40 mole H

1 mole C: 2 mole H

Therefore, the empirical formula of this compound is CH2.

Hope this helps!! If you have any questions about my work, please let me know in the comments!

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 23.99, 24.99, and 25.98 amu and natural abundances of 78.99%, 10
Darya [45]
Atomic mass of magnesium = (23.99 x 78.99%) + (24.99 x 10.00%) + (25.98 x 11.01%)
= 24.31 g/mol
