Answer:

Oceanic & Continental Plates

The oceanic plate is denser and sinks due to its lower buoyancy. It's sucked into the asthenosphere and is melted deeper into the Earth, called a subduction zone. The continental plate is less dense and floats over the top of it since it is more buoyant

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Explanation:

Entropy :It is defined as amount of energy which is unable to do work or the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

$S=\frac{Q}{T(Kelvins)}$

Molar heat of molar vaporization of Trichlorofluoromethane = 24.8 kJ/mol

Temperature at which Trichlorofluoromethan boils , T= 296.95 K

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan :

$=\frac{24.8 kJ/mol}{296.95 K}=0.083516 kJ/mol K = 83.516 J/molK$

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Methanol and butanol are alcohols. Alcohols have the same_______________ as alkanes and the __________ identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols belong to a group of organic compounds which contain -OH group as the functional group.

So alcohols have the same carbon -hydrogen bonds as alkanes and the -OH functional group identifies the compound as an alcohol.

Which pair of atoms will form an ionic compound? A) One atom of oxygen and two atoms of fluorine Eliminate B) One atom of calciu

wlad13 [49]

An ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal. This eliminates answer choice A, C, and D because both of the elements listed are nonmetal.

Your correct answer is B) One atom of calcium and two atoms of chlorine. This is because calcium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.

A sample of pure calcium fluoride with a mass of 15.0 g contains 7.70 g of calcium. how much calcium is contained in 45.0 g of c

kolbaska11 [484]

In a sample of pure calcium fluoride of mass 15.0 g, 7.70 g of calcium is present. First convert the mass into number of moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Molar mass of Ca is 40 g/mol, putting the values,

$n=\frac{7.70 g}{40 g/mol}=0.1925 mol$

Similarly, molar mass of $CaF_{2}$ is 78.07 g/mol thus, number of moles will be:

$n=\frac{15.0 g}{78.07 g/mol}=0.1921 mol$ .

Thus, 0.1921 mol of $CaF_{2}$ have 0.1925 mol of Ca, or 1 mole of $CaF_{2}$ will have approximately 1 mole of Ca.

Now, mass of Ca needs to be calculated in 45.0 g of $CaF_{2}$ . Converting mass into number of moles first,

$n=\frac{45.0 g}{78.07 g/mol}=0.5764 mol$

Thus, number of moles of Ca will also be 0.5764 mol, converting number of moles into mass,

$m=n\times M=0.5764 mol\times 40 g/mol=23.06 g$

Therefore, mass of Ca will be 23.06 g.
