Answer:

Plate tectonics and how they effect volcanoes

Explanation:

Plate tectonics are when the plates (the seperate pieces of earth's crust)

crash into each other, being the main cause of natural disasters such as earthquakes, however the collision of two plates can push magma from the mantle into a crevice in the crust, forming a volcano.

I hope that this helped you.

TECTONIC PLATES

a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates which move slowly over the underlying mantle.
VALCONES AND TECTONIC

Most volcanoes form at the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates. These plates are huge slabs of the Earth's crust and upper mantle, which fit together like pieces of a puzzle. These plates are not fixed, but are constantly moving at a very slow rate. They move only a few centimeters per year.

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.

natta225 [31]

Answer: The true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

$Au$

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

Option 1: Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

$Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Option 2: Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

$Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)$

Option 3: Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

$Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}$

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce $Au^+(aq)$ to gold metal

If you start with 4.3 moles of NH3, how many moles of NANH2 can be produced

mash [69]

Explanation:

Mole ratio of NH3 to NaNH2 = 2 : 2.

Moles of NaNH2 produced

= 4.3mol * (2/2) = 4.3mol.

2. The Density of Water is 1.0000g/cm3. Based on this property of water,

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

if the object sank then that object has a greater density then water. if the object floated then its density is lower then water.

Explanation:

lets say object 1 has a density of 24/cm3. the density is greater then water (1.0000g/cm3) so it would sink. now lets say object 2 has a density of 0.79383g/cm3 since it's less then the density of water (1.0000g/cm3) it would float.
