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.

Describe the relationship between temperature and particle movement

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

If matter is heated and thus its temperature rises more and more, it can be seen that the particles contained in it move ever faster – be it the relatively free movement of the particles in gases or the oscillation around a rest position in solids. The temperature of a substance can therefore be regarded as a measure of the velocity of the particles it contains. With a higher temperature and thus higher particle

Convert mass to moles for both reactants. (round to 2 significant figures.)

Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of CuCl₂ = 2.50g

Mass of Al = 0.50g

Unknown:

Number of moles of CuCl₂ and Al = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must understand that the number of moles is a fundamental property used in stoichiometry calculations.

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of CuCl₂ = 63.6 + 2(35.5) = 134.5g/mole

Molar mass of Al = 26.98g/mole

Number of moles of CuCl₂ = $\frac{2.5}{134.5}$ = 0.019moles

Number of moles of Al = $\frac{0.5}{26.98}$ = 0.019moles

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(3R,4R)-4-bromohexan-3-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have reaction called halohydrin formation. This is a markovnikov reaction with anti configuration. Therefore the halogen in this case "Br" and the "OH" must have different configurations. Additionally, in this molecule both carbons have the same substitution, so the "OH" can go in any carbon.

Finally, in the product we will have chiral carbons, so we have to find the absolute configuration for each carbon. On carbon 3 we will have an "R" configuration on carbon 4 we will have also an "R" configuration. (See figure 1)

I hope it helps!

How many hydrogen atoms are present in .46 moles of NH3

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

2.78 x 10²³

Explanation:

1 mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ hydrogen atoms => 0.46 mole contains 0.46(6.02 x 10²³) hydrogen atoms or 2.78 x 10²³ atoms.

Caution => When to use H vs H₂ => This problem is specific for 'hydrogen atoms' but some may simply say hydrogen. In such cases use H₂ or 'molecular hydrogen' is the focus. it's a matter of semantics, H vs H₂.
