D - Continental spreading happens when magma rises from the ocean floor causing the old rocks to be pushed away and causing the new rocks to be formed down and to be a replacement for the old rocks that drifted away. This causes a cycle where new rocks and old rocks get replaced and this cycle always has the old rocks getting pushed away.

What is the difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis

guapka [62]

Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products

Photosynthesis- the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

*WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! Why is it difficult for us to use fusion reactions to produce energy?

kolbaska11 [484]

Fusion occurs constantly on our sun, which produces most of its energy via the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Neither do fusion reactions produce the large amounts of dangerous radioactive waste that fission reactions do. That's why it's such a dreamy source of energy.

15g of FeCI3 is dissolved in 450 mL of solution. What is the concentration of [CI-]?

storchak [24]

The concentration of [CI-] : 0.617 M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

FeCl₃ dissolved in 450 mL of solution(will dissociate )

Reaction

FeCl₃⇒Fe³⁺+3Cl⁻

mol FeCl₃(MW=162,2 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{15}{162.2}=0.0925$

mol Cl⁻ :

$\tt \dfrac{3}{1}\times 0.0925=0.2775$

molarity of Cl⁻ :

$\tt \dfrac{0.2775}{0.45}=0.617~M$

9. Using the balanced equation from Question #8, how many grams of lead will be produced if 2.54 grams of PbS is burned with 1.8

MissTica

Answer: 2.24 grams of Pb

Explanation:

Step 1

Balanced chemical reaction;

2PbS + 3O2 → 2Pb + 2SO3

Step 2

Moles of both PbS and O2

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles of PbS = 2.54 g / 239.3 g/mol = 0.0108 moles

Moles of O2 = 1.88 / 32 g/mol = 0.0588 moles

Step 3

Finding the limiting reactant.

Limiting reactant, is that reactant which is completely used in the reaction;

If we assume that PbS is the limiting reactant;

We have 0.0588 moles of O2. This needs ( 0.0588 * 2) / 3 = 0.0392 moles of PbS to fully react. But we have only 0.0108 moles of PbS available. That means that the PbS will be completely consumed hence the limiting reactant

If we assume O2 is the limiting reactant;

We have 0.0108 moles of PbS. That needs ( 0.0108 * 3) / 2 = 0.0162 moles of O2. But we have 0.0588 moles of O2 which is in excess further confirming that PbS is the limiting reactant since it will be depleted in the reaction.

Step 4

Moles of lead

For this step we apply the mole ratios with the limiting reactant;

Mole ratio of PbS : Pb = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1

Therefore;

Moles of Pb = (0.0108 moles * 1 ) 1

Moles of Pb =0.0108 moles

Step 5

Mass of Pb

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass of Pb =0.0108 moles * 207.2 g/mol

Mass of Pb = 2.24 grams
