Which plate, oceanic or continental, must be more dense?

Chemistry

musickatia [10]3 years ago

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

Calculate the equilibrium constant k for the isomerization of glucose-1-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate at 298 k. express your
k0ka [10]
We cannot solve this problem without using empirical data. These reactions have already been experimented by scientists. The standard Gibb's free energy, ΔG°, (occurring in standard temperature of 298 Kelvin) are already reported in various literature. These are the known ΔG° for the appropriate reactions.

<span>glucose-1-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate          ΔG∘=−7.28 kJ/mol
fructose-6-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate          ΔG∘=−1.67 kJ/mol
</span>
Therefore, the reaction is a two-step process wherein glucose-6-phosphate is the intermediate product.

glucose-1-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-6-phosphate 

In this case, you simply add the ΔG°. However, since we need the reverse of the second reaction to end up with the terminal product, fructose-6-phosphate, you'll have to take the opposite sign of ΔG°.

ΔG°,total = −7.28 kJ/mol  + 1.67 kJ/mol = -5.61 kJ/mol

Then, the equation to relate ΔG° to the equilibrium constant K is

ΔG° = -RTlnK, where R is the gas constant equal to 0.008317 kJ/mol-K.
-5.61 kJ./mol = -(0.008317 kJ/mol-K)(298 K)(lnK)
lnK = 2.2635
K = e^2.2635
K = 9.62

How do atoms and molecules of elements and compounds combine in chemical reactions?
solong [7]

Answer:

A compound is a unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically. Compounds form as a result of chemical reactions. The elements in compounds are held together by chemical bonds. A chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions that share or transfer valence electrons

What are the principles related to absolute, relative, carbon, or radioactive dating
stepladder [879]

The atoms of some chemical elements have different forms, called isotopes. These break down over time in a process scientists call radioactive decay. Each original isotope, called the parent, gradually decays to form a new isotope, called the daughter. Each isotope is identified with what is called a ‘mass number’. When ‘parent’ uranium-238 decays, for example, it produces subatomic particles, energy and ‘daughter’ lead-206.

Why can you never see the far side of the mood from earth?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: -

C) because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth

Explanation: -

The moon rotates about it's axis one full time at about the same time as it takes to rotate around the earth.

This leads to only one side of the moon always appearing to Earth, called the near side.

One side of the moon is always not seen from the earth. It is called the far side of the moon.

Thus we can never see the far side of the moon because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth
