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.

How many grams are 3.01 × 1023 molecules of CuSO4?

zvonat [6]

Answer is: 79.8 grams of copper(II) sulfate.
N(CuSO₄) = 3.01·10²³; number of molecules.
n(CuSO₄) = N(CuSO₄) ÷ Na.
n(CuSO₄) = 3.01·10²³ ÷ 6.02·10²³ 1/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 0.5 mol; amount of substance.
m(CuSO₄) = n(CuSO₄) · M(CuSO₄).
m(CuSO₄) = 0.5 mol · 159.6 g/mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 79.8 g; mass of substance.
M - molar mass.

Consider three gases: Ar, SF6, and Cl2. If 50.0 grams of these gases are placed in each of three identical containers, which con

adoni [48]

The ideal gas law:
$pV=nRT \Rightarrow p=\frac{nRT}{V}$
p - pressure, n - number of moles, R - the gas constant, T - temperature, V - volume

The volume and temperature of all three containers are the same, so the pressure depends on the number of moles. The greater the number of moles, the higher the pressure.
The mass of gases is 50 g.

$Ar \\
M \approx 39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\
n=\frac{50 \ g}{39.948 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 1.25 \ mol \\ \\
SF_6 \\
M \approx 146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\
n=\frac{50 \ g}{146.06 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.34 \ mol \\ \\
Cl_2 \\
M=70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol} \\
n=\frac{50 \ g}{70.9 \ \frac{g}{mol}} \approx 0.71 \ mol$

The greatest number of moles is in the container with Ar, so there is the highest pressure.

according to Boyles law if the initial pressure and volume of a gas were five atm for the pressure and 10 mL for the volume and

maks197457 [2]

Answer:The new volume is 5mL

Explanation:

The formular for Boyles Law is; P1 V1 = P2 V2

Where P1 = 1st Pressure V1 = First Volume

P2 = 2nd Pressure V2 = Second Volume

From the question; P1 = 5atm, V1 = 10ml

P2 = 2 x P1 (2 x 5) = 10 atm V2 =?

Using the Boyles Law Formular; P1 V1 = P2 V2, we make V2 the subject of formular; P1 V1/ P2 = V2

∴ 5 x 10/ 10 = 5

∴ V2 = 5mL
