Explain how movements along faults generate earthquakes​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

When a plate moves it shifts the earth, and it can cause an earthquake.

A fault is where two of earth's tectonic plates come together. They can slide against the other, causing earthquakes, they can push against each other causing mountains to form, and they can move apart from each other, causing  valleys or trenches.

A change resulting in one or more new substances being formed is a?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

C. Chemical change

Explanation:

A physical change is where something is changed but it doesnt affect the build up of the chemical. For example, if you broke sticks and threw them on the ground, that would be a physical change because the change is happening to the physical being of the object and not its chemical buildup. However, if you lit those sticks on fire, that would be considered a chemical change because you end up with two substances, ash and the remnants of the stick. A nuclear reaction would result in something blowing up so its not that. And a physical property is like what it looks like or how it smells. Hope I helped you!

How many molecules of co2,h2o,c3h8, and o2 will be present if the reaction goes to completion?
Nadya [2.5K]

Let initially there are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of C3H8 present

The reaction will be

C3H8(g)  + 5O2(g)  ----> 3CO2(g)   + 4H2O

so here oxygen molecules are limiting as for 3 molecules of C3H8 we need 15 molecules of O2

now the given 10 molecules of O2 will react with only 2 molecules of C3H8 and they will form six molecules of CO2 and 8 molecules of H2O

Hence answer is

molecules of CO2 formed = 6

Molecules of H2O formed = 8

molecules of C3H8 left = 1

molecules of O2 left = 0

rjkz [21]

Answer:

(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.

Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.

(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.

(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.

(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in . <em>different Periods.</em>
