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.

Which law represents a balanced chemical equation?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

All chemical equations goes to the law of conservation of mass which says that matter can not be destroyed nor created which means there has to be an equal amount of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. I hope that helps, I'm learning this as well.

(58 g)/ (4L) reduce units to one

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer is 14.5 g L⁻¹.

<em>Explanation;</em>

Here, the question says reduce the units as one.

The presented units are g/L. To reduce the units to one, what we can do is take L to the upper side.

This can be done according to the rules of indices;

1 / aˣ = a⁻ˣ

Like that, we can write 1 / L as L⁻¹.

Hence, the reduced unit is g L⁻¹.

But remember to keep a space between when writing two different units.

Actually, this is an unit for density.

Which of these Group 14 elements has the most metallic properties? 1. C 2. Ge 3. Si 4. Sn

seraphim [82]

I would say that the answer is Sn.
C-is a non-metal
Ge-is a metalliod (consists both non-metal and metal)
Si -is a metalloid
Sn- is a pure metal

A sample of nitrogen gas has the temperature drop from 250.°c to 150.°c at constant pressure. what is the final volume if the in

Leviafan [203]

Charles law gives the relationship between temperature of gas and volume of gas.
It states that for a fixed amount of gas, temperature is directly proportional to volume of gas.
V / T = k
where V- volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
T1 = 250 °C + 273 = 523 K
T2 = 150 °C + 273 = 423 K
Substituting the values in the equation,

$\frac{310 mL}{523 K} = \frac{V}{423K}$
V = 251 mL
the new volume is 251 mL
