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:

decays of radioactive isotopes
remnant heat from the formation of the earth
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.

A gaseous mixture contains 5.0 moles of nitrogen and 10.0 moles of helium . What is the total pressure if the temperature is 25

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A) 122 atm

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Solve for P --> P = nRT/V

n = 10.0 mol + 5.0 mol = 15.0 mol

R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

T = 25 + 273 = 298 K

V = 3.0

P = (15.0)(0.08206)(298) / (3.0) = 122 atm
