Why does pressure build up around the plates?

Chemistry

1 answer:

Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago

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.

Calculate the energy (in J/atom) for vacancy formation in silver, given that the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 C is 3.6

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Explanation:

Given that:

the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 °C

i.e T = 800°C is 3.6 x 10¹⁷ cm3

Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

Let's first determine the number of atoms in silver

Let silver be represented by N

SO;

$N = \dfrac{N_A* \rho _{Ag}}{A_{Ag}}$

where ;

$N_A =$ avogadro's number = $6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol$

$\rho _{Ag}$ = Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

$A_{Ag}$ = Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

$N = \dfrac{(6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol)*( 9.5 \ g/cm^3)}{(107.9 \ g/mol)}$

N = 5.30 × 10²⁸ atoms/m³

However;

The equation for equilibrium number of vacancies can be represented by the equation:

$N_v = N \ e^{^{-\dfrac{Q_v}{KT}}$

From above; Considering the natural logarithm on both sides; we have:

$In \ N_v =In N - \dfrac{Q_v}{KT}$

Making $Q_v$ the subject of the formula; we have:

${Q_v = - {KT} In( \dfrac{ \ N_v }{ N})$

where;

K = Boltzmann constant = 8.62 × 10⁻⁵ eV/atom .K

Temperature T = 800 °C = (800+ 273) K = 1073 K

$Q _v =-( 8.62*10^{-5} \ eV/atom.K * 1073 \ K) \ In( \dfrac{3.6*10^{17}}{5.3 0*10^{28}})$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 2.38 \ eV/atom}$

Where;

1 eV = 1.602176565 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Then

$Q_v = (2.38 \ * 1.602176565 * 10^{-19} ) J/atom }$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Thus, the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Calculate the freezing point of a solution made from 220g of octane (C Hua), molar mass = 114,0 gmol dissolved in 1480 g of benz

stiv31 [10]

Answer: Freezing point of a solution will be $-1.16^0C$

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=(5.50-T_f)^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte)

$K_f$ = freezing point constant = $5.12^0C/m$

m= molality

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}$

Weight of solvent (benzene)= 1480 g =1.48 kg

Molar mass of solute (octane) = 114.0 g/mol

Mass of solute (octane) = 220 g

$(5.50-T_f)^0C=1\times 5.12\times \frac{220g}{114.0 g/mol\times 1.48kg}$

$(5.50-T_f)^0C=6.68$

$T_f=-1.16^0C$

Thus the freezing point of a solution will be $-1.16^0C$

How many grams of water can be formed from the reaction of 8.76 grams of H2 with 10.5 liters of O2 (at STP) according to the bal

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

16.9g of H₂O can be formed

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction, 2 moles of H₂ react per mole of O₂. To anser this question we must find limiting reactant converting the mass and volume of each reactant to moles:

<em>Moles H₂ -Molar mass: 2.016g/mol-:</em>

8.76g * (1mol / 2.016g) = 4.345 moles

<em>Moles O₂:</em>

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

P = 1atm at STP

V = 10.5L

R = 0.082atmL/molK

T = 273.15K at STP

n = 1atm*10.5L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K

n = 0.469 moles of oxygen

For a complete reaction of 4.345 moles moles of hydrogen are required:

4.345 moles H2 * (1mol O2 / 2mol H2) = 2.173 moles of O2 are required. As there are just 0.469 moles, Oxygen is limiting reactant

Now, 1 mole of O2 produce 2 moles of H2O. 0.469 moles will produce:

0.469 moles O₂ * (2 moles H₂O / 1mol O₂) = 0.938 moles H₂O.

The mass is -Molar mas H₂O = 18.01g/mol-:

0.938 moles * (18.01g/mol) =

<h3>16.9g of H₂O can be formed</h3>

The molar mass of aniline is 93 g/mol. what is its molecular formula

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Molecular formula of aniline is C6H5NH2.

Explanation:

As we know, molecular mass can be calculated as

Molar mass = C6H5NH2

Molar mass = (6*12)+(1*7)+(28)

Molar mass = 93 g/mol
