Answer:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest.

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.

Tengo que resolver con procedimiento

zzz [600]

Answer:

Distance = 200 km

Distance = 204 km

Speed = 77 km/h

Time = 21.42 h

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = 100 km/h , Time = 2 h

Find:

Distance

Speed = 68 km/h , Time = 3 h

Find:

Distance

Distance = 154 km , Time = 2 h

Find:

Speed

Distance = 1500 km speed = 70 km/h

Find:

Time

Computation:

Speed = distance / time

Distance = 100 x 2

Distance = 200 km

Distance = 68 x 3

Distance = 204 km

Speed = 154 / 2

Speed = 77 km/h

Time = 1500 / 70

Time = 21.42 h

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

Answer: The system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$

For a general chemical reaction:

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The expression for $K_{c}$ is written as:

$K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of $K_c$ = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}$

For the given images:

For a:

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16$

For b:

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2$

For c:

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6$

For d:

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of $K_c=2.0$ is system (b)

Problem Page Liquid hexane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 70. g of

shusha [124]

Answer:

The maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 70.6gCO_{2}

Explanation:

1. Write down the balanced chemical reaction:

$2C_{6}H_{14}_{(l)}+19O_{2}_{(g)}=12CO_{2}_{(g)}+14H_{2}O_{(g)}$

2. Find the limiting reagent:

- First calculate the number of moles of hexane and oxygen with the mass given by the problem.

For the hexane:

$70.0gC_{6}H_{14}*\frac{1molC_{6}H_{14}}{86.2gC_{6}H_{14}}=0.81molesC_{6}H_{14}$

For the oxygen:

$81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32.0gO_{2}}=2.54molesO_{2}$

- Then divide the number of moles between the stoichiometric coefficient:

For the hexane:

$\frac{0.81}{2}=0.41$

For the oxygen:

$\frac{2.54}{19}=0.13$

- As the fraction for the oxygen is the smallest, the oxygen is the limiting reagent.

3. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction:

The calculations must be done with the limiting reagent, that is the oxygen.

$81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32gO_{2}}*\frac{12molesCO_{2}}{19molesO_{2}}*\frac{44.0gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}}=70.6gCO_{2}$
