Why does pressure build up around the plates?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The correct answer is

Earthquakes occur along fault lines, cracks in Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet. They occur where plates are subducting, spreading, slipping, or colliding. As the plates grind together, they get stuck and pressure builds up. Finally, the pressure between the plates is so great that they break loose.

What concentrations of acetic acid (pKa = 4.76) and acetate would be required to prepare a 0.15 M buffer solution at pH 5.0? Not
Leni [432]

Answer:

Acetic acid 0,055M and acetate 0,095M.

Explanation:

It is possible to prepare a 0,15M buffer of acetic acid/acetate at pH 5,0 using Henderson-Hasselblach formula, thus:

pH = pka + log₁₀ [A⁻]/[HA] <em>-Where A⁻ is acetate ion and HA is acetic acid-</em>

Replacing:

5,0 = 4,76 + log₁₀ [A⁻]/[HA]

<em>1,7378 =  [A⁻]/[HA] </em><em>(1)</em>

As concentration of buffer is 0,15M, it is possible to write:

<em>[A⁻] + [HA] = 0,15M </em><em>(2)</em>

Replacing (1) in (2):

1,7378[HA] + [HA] = 0,15M

2,7378[HA] = 0,15M

[HA] = 0,055M

Thus, [A⁻] = 0,095M

That means you need <em>acetic acid 0,055M</em> and <em>acetate 0,095M</em> to obtain the buffer you need.

i hope it helps!

How much potassium chloride is needed to make 0.500 m solution with 1.50 L of water?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

55.9 g KCl.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of molality for the 0.500-molar solution, we need to divide the moles of solute (potassium chloride) over the kilograms of solvent as shown below:

m=\frac{mol}{kilograms}

Thus, solving for the moles of solute, we obtain:

mol=m*kilograms

Since the density of water is 1 kg/L, we obtain the following moles:

mol=0.500mol/kg*1.50kg\\\\mol=0.75mol

Next, since the molar mass of KCl is 74.5513 g/mol, the mass would be:

0.75mol*\frac{74.5513g}{1mol}\\\\55.9g \ KCl

Regards!

The number of positive changes in the nucleus of an atom is equal to
raketka [301]

Answer:

The number of positive charges in nucleus of an atoms are equal to the atomic number and also positive charges are equal to the negative charges which are electrons in neutral atom.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Neutron and proton:

Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
