Convection currents drive the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle. In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading

Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat. ... Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.

Write a mechanism for the formation of triphenylmethanol from the reaction of phenylmagnesium bromide and diethyl carbonate..
My name is Ann [436]

The reaction  proceeds through nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction.

Phenyl magnesium bromide substitutes one ethoxide ion in the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction that drives the process forward. A subsequent equivalent of phenyl magnesium bromide produces triphenyl methanol through a nucleophilic addition reaction with the resultant keto group.

There are two ethoxy leaving groups in diethyl carbonate. Tertiary alcohol is created when diethyl carbonate combines with too much Grignard reagent. The Grignard reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon three times in the mechanism to produce the tertiary alcohol.

The mechanism is shown below:

6. A student dissolved 1.1 g of solid NaOH in 22.1 mL of water inside a constant-pressure
mote1985 [20]

From the calculations, the heat of the reaction is 44.4 kJ/mol.

<h3>What is the enthalpy of reaction?</h3>

The enthalpy of reaction refers to the amount of heat that is absorbed or evolved in a reaction.

Number of moles of NaOH = 1.1 g /40 g/mol = 0.0275 moles

Mass of the water = 22.1 mL or 22.1 g

Given that;

H= mcdT

H = 22.1 g *4.184 * (31.4 - 18.2)

H = 1221 J or 1.221kJ

ΔH rxn = -(1.221kJ)/0.0275 moles

ΔH rxn = 44.4 kJ/mol

Calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 4 ml of water from 10C to 30C
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Heat energy (Q) = 334.72

Explanation:

Volume = 4mL

Initial temperature (T1) = 10°C

Final temperature (T2) = 30°C

Mass = ?

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184J/g°C

Density of water = 1.0g/mL

Heat energy = ?

Density = mass / volume

ρ = mass / vol

Mass = volume × density (ρ)

Mass = 4 × 1.0

Mass = 4g

Heat energy (Q) = mc∇T

Q = heat energy

M = mass of the substance

C = specific heat capacity of the substance

∇T = change in temperature of the substance = T2 - T1

Q = mc(T2 - T1)

Q = 4 × 4.184 ×(30 - 10)

Q = 16.736 × 20

Q = 334.72J

The heat energy required to raise 4ml of water from 10°C to 30°C is 334.72J
