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.

How many moles of liquid water must freeze to remove 100 kJ of heat? (ΔHf = –334 J/<br> g.
Juliette [100K]
First figure out how many grams must freeze and then convert the grams to moles. 
<span>Hf = -334 J/g. Convert this to KJ/g by dividing by 1000. (There are 1000 Joules in a kJ). </span>
<span>Hf = -334 J/g ÷ 1000 J/kj = -0.334 kJ/g </span>
<span>Now, divide 100 kJ by -0.334 kJ/g (see how the units are lining up?) </span>
<span>100 kJ ÷ -0.334 kJ/g = 299 g </span>
<span>Now convert this to moles by dividing by the molecular weight of water (18.0g/mole). </span>
<span>299 ÷ 18.0 = 16.6 moles </span>

1. Show the mechanism for the main product for the monochlorination of 2-methylbutane. List all other products.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

First, we need to understand that the monochlorination of an alkane like this one, involves substitution of one of the atoms of hydrogen of the molecule for an atom of chlorine.

This reaction takes place when the alkane reacts with Cl₂ in presence of light or heat.

When this happens, the first step involves the breaking of the double bond of the chlorine to form the ion Cl⁻.

The next step involves the substraction of the hydrogen of the molecule by the Chlorine. This will leave the alkane with a lone pair available for reaction.

The third step, the alkane with the lone pair of electron substract a chlorine for the beggining and form the mono chlorinated product.

The final step involves forming the remaining products with the remaining reagents there.

In the picture attached you have the mechanism and product for this reaction:
