Answer:

What happens along a convergent plate boundary?

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... The new magma (molten rock) rises and may erupt violently to form volcanoes, often building arcs of islands along the convergent boundary

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

If this trend continues, the following week will be cooler, and a large amount of rain will fall.

Explanation:

Patterns and trends can often be found in data sets. During the week that Cho recorded the weather, the temperatures consistently dropped by one to four degrees each day. At the end of the week, the amount of precipitation increased daily.

Consider the following ionic compounds: CdCO3, Na2S, PbSO4, (NH4)3PO4, and Hg2Cl2. Which compounds will be soluble when added to

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Na2S, (NH4)3PO4

Explanation:

We can decide what compounds are soluble by considering the solubility rules that apply.

CdCO3 is not soluble in water because all carbonates are insoluble except those of ammonium, sodium and potassium.

Na2S is soluble in water because all sulphides are insoluble except those of sodium, potassium and ammonium.

PbSO4 is insoluble in water because all sulphates are soluble except those of lead and barium. The sulphate of calcium is only slightly soluble in water.

(NH4)3PO4 is soluble in water because all phosphates are insoluble except those of sodium, potassium and ammonium.

Hg2Cl2 is insoluble in water because all chlorides are soluble except those of lead, mercury II and silver.

0.254g lead(ii)ethanoate, on adding excess K2CrO4 solution, gave 0.130g of lead(ii)chromate precipitate. what is the percentage

Alborosie

Answer:

32.8%

Explanation:

All of the Pb⁺² species precipitated as lead(II) cromate, PbCrO₄ (we know this as excess K₂CrO₄ was used).

First we convert 0.130 g of PbCrO₄ into moles, using its molar mass:

0.130 g ÷ 323 g/mol = 4.02x10⁻⁴ mol PbCrO₄

There's 1 Pb⁺² mol per PbCrO₄ mol, so in total 4.02x10⁻⁴ moles of Pb⁺² were in the ethanoate sample.

We <u>convert those 4.02x10⁻⁴ moles of Pb into grams</u>:

4.02x10⁻⁴ mol * 207 g/mol = 0.083 g Pb

Finally we calculate the percentage composition of Pb:

0.083 g Pb / 0.254 g salt * 100% = 32.8%

Phosphorus oxychloride has the chemical formula POCl3, with P as the central atom. In order to minimize formal charge, how many

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Phosphorus makes 5 bonds with other atoms

Explanation:

$POCl_{3}$ has total 32 number of valence electrons (P has 5 , O has 6 and Cl has 7 valence electrons).

These valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structure of $POCl_{3}$ .

Formal charge on an atom = (no. of valence electrons of the atom)-(no. of covalent bonds attached to the atom)-(no. of electrons in lone pair of the atom)

Applying octet rule (atoms have eight electrons in their valence shell) and minimizing formal charge of $POCl_{3}$ , it has been found that P makes total 5 bonds with rest of the atoms.

Lewis structure of $POCl_{3}$ along with formal charge (in parentheses) has been given below.
