Imagine that you could dive deep into the Atlantic Ocean where the South American plate and African plate meet at a plate bounda

ry. What do you think you would see at the plate boundary? Would you see the mantle? Why or why not?

Answer:

At the plate boundary, there would be a divergent boundary where we can see a mid ocean ridge and a gap. We would be able to see the mantle because there would be a fissure from where magma will rise and solidify.    

Explanation:

Under the South American plate and African plate, there are currents that cause a divergent boundary. They create this boundary since they pull the tectonic plates apart, causing a mid-ocean ridge with an opening that allows the rising of the magma that was underneath. Once that the magma is out, it solidifies, and the currents will try to create another ridge to repeat the process.

When the plates are apart, the mantle that is beneath is exposed, and we can see the magma.

A catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions in an equilibrium system, so it has no ef
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

  • Catalyst increases the rate of the reaction without affecting the equilibrium position.
  • Catalyst increases the rate via lowering the activation energy of the reaction.
  • This can occur via passing the reaction in alternative pathway (changing the mechanism).
  • The activation energy is the difference in potential energies between the reactants and transition state (for the forward reaction) and it is the difference in potential energies between the products and transition state (for the reverse reaction).
  • in the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is lowered by lowering the energy of the transition state, which is the rate-determining step, catalysts reduce the required energy of activation to allow a reaction to proceed and, in the case of a reversible reaction, reach equilibrium more rapidly.
  • with adding a catalyst, both the forward and reverse reaction rates will speed up equally, which allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster.

True or False When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the
lesya [120]

Answer:

True; When one side of a molecule is electronegative (δ-) and the other side of the

molecule is electropositive (δ+), it is said to have a dipole moment.

Explanation:

A dipole moment exists in a molecule as a result of differences in the electronegativity values between the atoms of the elements involved in the chemical bonding.

When a strogly electronegative atom such as oxygen or chlorine is chemically bonded to a less electronegative or an electropositive atom such as hydrogen, there is an uneven sharing of the electrons involved in the bonding. The more electronegative atoms tends to draw the shared electrons mostly to themselves. This induces a partially negative charge (δ-) on them while leaving the electropositive atoms with a partially positive charge (δ+).

Water is an example of a molecule having a dipole moment. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen and as such draw the shared electrons to themselves more, inducing a partial positive charge (δ+) on the hydrogen atoms while they themselves develop a partial negative charge (δ-).

The combustion of 0.25 mol of an unknown organic compound results in the release of 320 kJ of energy. Which of the compounds in
vichka [17]

Answer: C. ethanol

The enthalpy of combustion is the amount of heat produced when one mole of ethanol undergoes complete combustion at 25 ° C and 1 atmosphere pressure, yielding products also at 25 ° C and 1 atm.

<u>The enthalpy of combustion of the unknown compound is</u>

ΔH = - 320 kJ / 0.25 mol = - 1280 kJ / mol

<u>To choose a probable compound according to this combustion enthalpy, we must evaluate the deviation in relation to the values reported in the literature for the three probable compounds</u> (methane, ethylene and ethanol). The deviation (e%) will be calculated according to the following equation,

e% =  ( | ΔHx - ΔH | / ΔHx ) x 100%

where ΔHx is the enthalpy of combustion of the probable compound.

The following table shows the combustion enthalpies of the probable compounds and their deviation in relation to the enthalpy of ΔH = - 1280 kJ / mol

Compound Enthalpy of combustion (kJ/mol)   Deviation

Methane                        - 890.7                                 43.8%

Ehylene                         -1411.2                                   9.3%

Ethanol                        -1368.6                                    6.5%

According to the previous table, we can say that the most probable compound is ethanol, since it has the smallest deviation in relation to the experimental enthalpy value of combustion.
