Answer:The earths plates shifting

Explanation: The movement releases stored-up 'elastic strain' energy in the form of seismic waves, which propagate through the Earth and cause the ground surface to shake.

Calculate q (in units of joules) when 1.850 g of water is heated from 22 °C to 33 °C. Report only the numerical portion of your
Minchanka [31]
When q is the heat energy in joules (J)

so, according to this formula, we can get q (in joule unit):

q = M*C*ΔT

when M is the mass of the water sample = 1.85 g

C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g.°C

and Δ T is the difference in temperature (Tf-Ti) = 33 - 22 = 11°C

So, by substitution, we will get the value of q ( in Joule):

∴ q = 1.85 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 11 °C

      = 85 J

What is the order of increasing rate of eusion for the following gases, Ar, CO2, H2, N2?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2

Explanation:

Graham's law explains why some gases efuse faster than others. This is due to the difference i their molar mass. Generally; The rate of effusion of gaseous substances is inversely proportional to the square rot of its molar mass.

This means gases with low molar masses would have higher efusion rate compared to gases with higher molar masses.

So now we just need to compare the molar masses of the various gases;

Ar - 39.95

CO2 - 44.01

H2 - 2

N2 - 28.01

To obtain the order in increasing rate, we have to order the gases in decreasing molar mass. This order of increasing rate is given as;

H2 > N2 > Ar > CO2

The sun’s core is made of solid rock. True or false
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Heres what its made of:

The core is made of hot, dense plasma (ions and electrons), at a pressure estimated at 265 billion bar (3.84 trillion psi or 26.5 petapascals (PPa)) at the center. Due to fusion, the composition of the solar plasma drops from 68–70% hydrogen by mass at the outer core, to 34% hydrogen at the core/Sun center.
