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.

Ethanol and water appear the saame to the naked eye at 25C. Which properties can help a chemist distinguish between? denisty, ma

Oxana [17]

Explanation:

As it is known that there are two types of properties. These are extensive and intensive.

Extensive properties : Properties that depend on the size or amount of system. For example, mass, volume etc.

Intensive properties : Properties that do not depend on the size or amount of system. For example, density, melting point, specific heat capacity etc.

On the basis of these properties water and ethanol are distinguished as follows.

Density of water is 997 kg/ $m^{3}$ whereas density of ethanol is 789 kg/ $m^{3}$ . Both these liquids can be separated by intensive properties.
Melting point of water is zero degree celsius whereas melting point of ethanol is -114.1 degree celsius.
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 $J/g ^{o}C$ whereas specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2.46 $J/g ^{o}C$ .
Mass of the given liquids cannot be differentiated because they will keep on changing depending on the quantity required. As mass is an extensive property, therefore, it is difficult to differentiate between the two liquids.

Thus, we can conclude that properties like density, melting point, specific heat capacity can help a chemist distinguish between ethanol and water.
