How did convection currents cause the plates to move

1 answer:

4 0

Convection currents in the mantle are powered by the heat from the earth's core. The convection cells move in a circular motion in the mantle as the plumes or currents of magma rises and falls due to heating and cooling. This circular motion will affect the base of the crust and drag the crustal plates along. The movement however is very slow, as plates only move a few centimeters or inches per year.

A rectangular block has the following dimensions: 3.21 dm, 5.83 cm, and 1.84 in. The block has a mass of 1.94 kg. What is the de

spin [16.1K]

The density of the rectangular block in g/mL is 7.0.

Given the following data:

Mass of block = 22.8 gra1.94 kg

Length of block = 3.21 cm

Width of block = 5.83 cm

Height of block = 1.84 in.

To find the density of the block in g/mL:

First of all, we would determine the volume of the rectangular block by using the following formula:

$Volume = length$ × $width$ × $height$

Conversion:

1 in = 2.54 cm

5.83 in = X cm

Cross-multiplying, we have:

$X = 2.54(5.83)\\\\X = 14.81 \; cm$

$Volume = 3.21$ × $5.83$ × $14.81$

Volume = 277.16 cubic centimeters.

Note: Milliliter (mL) is the same as cubic centimeters.

1000 grams = 1 kg

Y grams = 1.94 kg

Cross-multiplying, we have:

Y = 1940 grams

Now, we can find the density:

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\Density = \frac{1940}{277.16}$

Density = 7.0 g/mL

Therefore, the density of the rectangular block in g/mL is 7.0.

A process at constant T and P can be described as spontaneous if ΔG < 0 and nonspontaneous if ΔG > 0. Over what range of t

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Incomplete question, it is lacking the data it makes reference. The missing data from Chegg is:

2 SO3(g) → 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)

ΔHf° (kJ mol-1) -395.7 -296.8

S° (J K-1 mol-1) 256.8 248.2 205.1

ΔH° = kJ

S° = J K⁻¹

Explanation:

The method to solve this problem calls for the use of the Gibbs standard free energy change:

ΔG = ΔrxnH - TΔSrxn

We know a reaction is spontaneous when ΔG is < 0, so to answer this question we need to solve for the temperature, T, at which ΔG becomes negative.

Now as mentioned in the hint, we need to determine ΔrxnH and ΔSrxn, which are given by

ΔrxnH = ∑ ν x ΔfHº products - ∑ ν x ΔfHº reactants

where ν is the stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.

For ΔS we have likewise

ΔrxnS = ∑ ν x ΔSº products - ∑ ν x ΔSº reactants

Thus,

ΔrxnH(kJmol⁻¹) = 2 x (-296.8) - 2 x ( -395.7 ) = 197.8 kJ

ΔrxnS ( JK⁻¹) = 2 x 248.2 + 205.1 - 2 x 256.8 = 187.9 JK⁻¹ = 0.1879 kJK⁻¹

So ΔG kJ = 197.8 - T(0.1879)

and the reaction will become spontaneous when the term T(0.1879) becomes greater that 197.8,

0 = 197.8 - 0.1879 T ⇒ T = 1052 K

so the reaction is spontaneous at temperatures greater than 1052 K (780 ºC)

What 2 chemicals react together during photosynthesis

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The photosynthesis chemical equation states that the reactants (carbon dioxide, water and sunlight), yield two products, glucose and oxygen gas. The single chemical equation represents the overall process of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Definition: the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
