Answer: Subduction zone

Explanation: How do we know the subduction zone exists here? Mostly because of geological data left behind by subduction zone earthquakes, known as megathrust earthquakes. Subduction zones are the only type of plate meeting that can cause earthquakes greater than magnitude 8.5, according to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

An ideal gas occupies a volume V at an absolute temperature T. If the volume is halved and the pressure kept constant, what will

Kruka [31]

Answer:

It will be halve of T

Explanation:

V1 = V

T1 = T

V2 = ½V

T2 = x

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V/T = ½V/x

Vx = ½VT

2Vx = VT

2x = T

x = ½T

In a series circuit there are 17 light bulbs, each providing 1 ohm of resistance. What is the total resistance?

Sauron [17]

Answer:

17 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

In a series circuit there are 17 light bulbs, each providing 1 ohm of resistance.

We need to find the total resistance of the circuit.

The equivalent resistance for series combination is given by :

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+....$

For 17 light bulbs, the equivalent resistance is given by :

$R_{eq}=R+R+....\text{upto 17 terms}\\\\R_{eq}=17R\\\\=17$

Hence, the total resistance is 17 ohms. Hence, the correct option is (d).

How many moles of CaO will be produced from 23.9 g of Ca?<br>2Ca(s) + O2(g) – 20:0(3)<br>mol

inessss [21]

Answer:

0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium = 23.9 g

Moles of CaO produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

Number of moles of calcium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 23.9 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium and CaO.

Ca : CaO

2 : 2

0.6 : 0.6

0.6 moles of CaO will produced.

50.0 mL of an HNO^3 solution were titrated with 36.90 mL of a 0.100 M LiOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What is the

NISA [10]

Answer:

0.0738 M

Explanation:

HNO3 +LiOH = LiNO3 + H2O

Number of moles HNO3 = number of moles LiOH

M(HNO3)*V(HNO3) = M(LiOH)*M(LiOH)

M(HNO3)*50.0mL = 0.100M*36.90 mL

M(HNO3) = 0.100*36.90/50.0 M = 0.0738 M

I need to do a project about carbon dioxide is there a safe way to capture it ??/

kramer

Yes. Exhale into a jar.
That's a hella ratchet way to capture CO2, but it works nonetheless
