Explain how Wegener came up with the Theory of Continental Drift and why it is considered to be a theory.

Chemistry

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Wegener thought all the continents were once joined together in an "Urkontinent" before breaking up and drifting to their current positions. For instance, Wegener thought the continents might have plowed through the ocean crust like icebreakers smashing through ice.

What is the molarity of the 8.76 g of Na2S dissolved in 0.500 L of solution?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

.224 M

Explanation:

To begin, we need to find the molar mass of Na2S

  • Na=22.99g, S=78.05g
  • 2(22.99)+1(32.07)=78.05

To find Molarity, we use the equation M=moles/Liters of solution

We are given grams, so we must divide by the molar mass of Na2S to find moles.

  • 8.76g Na2S / 78.05g/mol Na2S= .112 moles

Now we use our Molarity equation:

  • .112 moles Na2S / .500L of solution = .224 M

Can somebody please help me with this question, I'm very confused! I thought i did it right because i found Kb and the conc. of

Let's investigate the substances involved in the reaction first. The compound <span>CH3NH3+Cl- is a salt from the weak base CH3NH2 and the strong acid HCl. When this salt is hydrated with water, it will dissociate into CH3NH2Cl and H3O+:

CH3NH3+Cl- + H2O </span>⇒ CH3NH2Cl + H3O+

Nest, let's apply the ICE(Initial-Change-Equilibrium) table where x is denoted as the number of moles used up in the reaction:

                 CH3NH3+Cl- + H2O ⇒ CH3NH2Cl + H3O+
Initial                  0.51                             0               0
Change                 -x                             +x             +x
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equilibrium        0.51 - x                         x               x

Then, let's find the equilibrium constant of the reaction. Since the reaction is hydrolysis we use KH, which is the ratio of Kw to Ka or Kb. Kw is the equilibrium constant for water hydrolysis which is equal to 1×10⁻¹⁴. Since the salt comes from the weak base, we use Kb. Since pKb = 3.44, then. 3.44 = -log(Kb). Thus, Kb = 3.6307×10⁻⁴ 

KH = Kw/Kb = (x)(x)/(0.51 - x)
1×10⁻¹⁴/ 3.6307×10⁻⁴ = x²/(0.51-x)
x = 3.748×10⁻⁶

Since x from the ICE table is equal to the equilibrium concentration of H+, we can find the pH of the aqueous solution:

pH = -log(H+) = -log(x)
pH = -log ( 3.748×10⁻⁶)
pH = 5.43

Answer:

C. 500 cm' of 1.0 mol dmº magnesium sulphate solution.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the solutions individually;

CaCl2  has three particles

K2SO4 has three particles

MgSO4 has two particles

C2H5OH has only one particle

The number of moles of moles in 250 cm of 2.0 mol dm-3 potassium chloride is 250/1000 * 2 = 0.5 moles having two particles

Also; number of moles in 500 cm' of 1.0 mol dm-3 magnesium sulphate solution= 500/1000 * 1 = 0.5 moles having two particles

Which element is classified as an alkali metal?<br> Rb<br> Sr<br> Zr<br> Cl
qwelly [4]
Hi there.

Alkali metals are known as the group 1 elements.

When we know this, we just have to look to group 1 of the periodic table.

Rb (Rubidium) is in group 1; it is classified as an alkali metal.
