What is the energy source that powers plate movement?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D Earth's hot interior

Explanation:

The internal heat engine of the earth is the energy source that powers plate movement.

The sun drives the surface process and provides energy for the external heat engine

  • The earth's interior sources it heat from:
  1. decays of radioactive isotopes
  2. remnant heat from the formation of the earth
  3. frictional heating from the movement of the earth

Therefore, the heat is used to melt rocks and set up convection currents that drives plate movements.

It takes 45.0 J to raise the temperature of an 8.10 g piece of unknown metal from 13.0∘C to 24.3 ∘C. What is the specific heat f
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

0.492 J/g °C

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Thermodynamics</u>

Specific Heat Formula: q = mcΔT

  • <em>q</em> is heat (in J0
  • <em>m</em> is mass (in g)
  • <em>c</em> is specific heat (in J/g °C)
  • <em>ΔT</em> is change in temperature (in °C)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

[Given] <em>q</em> = 45.0 J

[Given] <em>m</em> = 8.10 g

[Given] <em>ΔT</em> = 24.3 °C - 13.0 °C = 11.3 °C

[Solve] <em>c</em>

<em />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>c</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Specific Heat Formula]:                                             45.0 J = (8.10 g)c(11.3 °C)
  2. Multiply:                                                                                                             45.0 J = (91.53 g °C)c
  3. Isolate <em>c</em>:                                                                                                            0.491642 J/g °C = c
  4. Rewrite:                                                                                                             c = 0.491642 J/g °C

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

0.491642 J/g °C ≈ 0.492 J/g °C

Which type of emission has the highest penetrating power?
Savatey [412]
You may recall that gamma radiation is at the far right (high energy) end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Because of its high energy level, gamma radiation has the greatest penetrative power.

Draw the structures of all monobromo derivatives of pentane, c5h11br, which contain a 4-carbon chain.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Two or more compounds that have same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms in molecule and thus posses different properties are known as isomers.

The molecular formula of pentane is C_5H_1_2 substituting one hydrogen from pentane with bromine results in the formation of monobromo derivatives of pentane having molecular formula, C_5H_1_1Br.

The structure of monobromo derivatives of pentane that is 1-bromopentane, 2-bromopentane, and 3-bromopentane and having molecular formula, C_5H_1_1Br is shown in the image.

The other two arrangements of monobromo derivatives of pentane that is 2-bromo-2-methylbutane and 2-bromo-3-methylbutane is shown in the image.

There are different structures of monobromo derivatives of pentane having molecular formula, C_5H_1_1Br which contain a 4-carbon chain are 1- bromo-2-methylbutane and 1-bromo-3-methylbutane shown in the image.
