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.

At –45oC, 71 g of fluorine gas take up 6843 mL of space. What is the pressure of the gas, in kPa?
Anika [276]
The moles of fluorine present are 71/19 = 3.74
Now, we know that one mole of gas at 273 K and 101.3 kPa (S.T.P.) occupies 22.4 liters
Volume of 3.74 moles at S.T.P = 3.74 x 22.4
Volume = 83.776 L = 83,776 mL

Now, we use Boyle's law, that for a given amount of gas,
PV = constant

P x 6843 = 101.3 x 83776
P = 1,240 kPa

What experimental property directly correlates with the strength of the intermolecular forces?
g100num [7]
One experimental property directly related to the strength of intermolecular forces is the boiling point of a substance.

In the liquid state, the intermolecular forces play a large role in the behavior of the substance. If the boiling point is low, this indicates weak forces such as Van der Waal's forces. On the other hand, a high boiling point indicates strong intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonds.

Masja [62]

Answer:

hope its not to late..............Samira's model correctly demonstrates how the properties changed with the rearrangement of the atoms. However not all atoms are accounted for. There is a missing reactant. Samira's model correctly demonstrated how the atoms in two compounds reacted to form two new products. However, the elements present in the reactants side should be the elements that make up the new products in the product side. But as the diagram shows, Sameera has mistakenly added a new element to one of her products which will be wrong.

Sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S 2O 3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. Identify the reducing agent in the reaction
Tatiana [17]

Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

Explanation:

A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.

In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in S_{2}O^{2-}_{3} is +2 and I_{2}(aq) has 0 oxidation state.

In S_{4}O^{2-}_{6}(aq) oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in 2I^{-}(aq) oxidation state of I is -1.

Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.
