A rock climbing group reached the top of Mount Everest in the Himalayan mountains. Mount Everest is about 29,000 feet above sea

level and formed by the interaction of two tectonic plates. The group leader was surprised to find fossilized marine organisms on top of the mountain. Which of the following describes the geologic history of Mount Everest?
answer choices:
A: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused the denser plate containing fossilized marine organisms to rise above the surface and form the Himalayan mountains.


B: Two tectonic plates had different densities which caused one plate to subduct into the ocean and the other one to rise causing marine organisms to fossilize on top of Mount Everest.


C: Two tectonic plates had the same density which caused one plate to subduct into a transform boundary that fossilized marine organisms before the Himalayan mountains were formed and uplifted.


D: Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.

Zn + O2= ZnO<br><br> How many moles of zinc are needed to make 500. g of zinc oxide?​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

5.15 moles

Explanation:

2zn + o2 = 2zno

5.15 2.57 5.15 moles

nzno=500/(16x2+65)= 5.15 moles

-> nzn = 5.15 x 2 ÷ 2 = 5.15 moles

Definition of proton and example
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

An elementary particle that is identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, that along with the neutron is a constituent of all other atomic nuclei, that carries a positive charge numerically equal to the charge of an electron.

Example:

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom or the H+ ion is an example of a proton. Regardless of the isotope, each atom of hydrogen has 1 proton; each helium atom contains 2 protons; each lithium atom contains 3 protons and so on.

An ion has a mass number of 65, 36 neutrons, and a charge of +1 . Identify the element symbol, and determine the number of proto
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Element symbol Cu

Number of protons 29

Number of electrons 28

Explanation:

To get the element symbol, we need the name of the element. To correctly identify the name of the element, we need the proton number.

Now the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 36. The number of protons is this the mass number minus the number of neutrons. This equals 65 - 36 = 29 protons.

The element with 29 protons is copper Cu.

Now to get the number of electrons, for an electrically neutral atom , the number of electrons equals the number of protons. But here, the atom is not electrically neutral anymore as it has now formed a univalent positive ion of +1.

To form a positive ion, you have to do so by losing electrons. The atom in question here has just lost one electron. Thus, our of the 29, it is left with only 28 electrons.
