Answer:

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. ... Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

Answer:

Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor. Eventually, the crust cracks.

Using the ideal gas law, PV=nRT, where R=0.0821 L atm/mol K, calculate the volume in liters of oxygen produced by the catalytic
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

V = 2.32 Liters

Explanation:

PV = nRT => V = nRT/P

n = 25.8g/122g/mole = 0.21 mole

R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K

T = 25.44°C + 273 = 298.44K

P = 2.22 atm (given in problem)

V = (0.21mol)(0.08206 L·atm/mol·K)(298.44K)/(2.22atm) = 2.32 Liters at 25.44°C & 2.22atm

Rasek [7]
In a flame photometric analysis, salt solution is first vaporized using the heat of flame, followed by this electrons from valance shell gets excited from ground state to excited state. Followed by this de-excitation of electron bring backs electrons to ground state. This process is accompanied by emission of photon. The photon emitted is characteristic of an element, and number of photons emitted can be used for quantitative analysis.
