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.

The equilibrium constant for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is 1.6 × 102. what is the form of the equilibri

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is $\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}$

Explanation: Equilibrium constant is the expression which relates the concentration of products and reactants preset at equilibrium at constant temperature. It is represented as $k_c$

For a general reaction:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The equilibrium constant is written as:

$k_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

Chemical reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

$N_2+3H_3\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3$

$k_c=1.6\times 10^2$

Expression for $k_c$ is:

$k_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}$

$1.6\times 10^2=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}$

Describe what happened when sodium chloride (salt) was placed in water in the video What happens when stuff dissolves?"

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together. After the salt compounds are pulled apart, the sodium and chloride atoms are surrounded by water molecules, as this diagram shows. Once this happens, the salt is dissolved, resulting in a homogeneous solution.
