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.

If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium, the chlorine atom would become ______________ charged.
Kamila [148]

<span>Since chlorine (Cl) is the molecule which attracts the electron therefore it would become negatively charged (Cl -), while the sodium (Na) on the other hand will become positively charged (Na +).</span>

This process of one element stealing away the electron of another element happens when one is more electronegative than the other. The more electronegative element attracts the electron of the less electronegative element. This is actually what happens during an ionic bond between a metal and a non metal. The negatively charged ion is called the anion while the positively charged ion is called as the cation.

 

Answer:

<span>negatively charged</span>

16) How many photons are contained in a burst of yellow light (589 nm) from a sodium lamp that contains 609 kJ of energy?
Len [333]
The correct answer to this question is this one:

find the energy of one photon:

<span>E=h*<span>c/λ
</span></span>
divide the energy given by the energy of one photon of that wavelength

What I've done so far is convert wave length to m and energy to j. 

E photon = h * x / wave length
E = (6.626 x 10^-43)(3.00 x 10^8) / 587 ^ -9  = 3.38 x 10 ^18 J
3.38 x 10 ^18 J x 1000 kj / 1 j = 3.37 x 10 ^ 16 Kj
609 kJ/  3.37 x 10 ^ 16 Kj =  1.81 x 10 ^ 16

E = (6.626 x 10^-34)(3.00 x 10^8) / 587 ^ -9 = 3.38 x 10 ^19 J
3.38 x 10 ^19 J x 1000 kj / 1 j = 3.37 x 10 ^ -16 Kj
609 kJ/ 3.37 x 10 ^ 16 Kj = 1.81 x 10 ^ 18 but the answer is  1.81 × 10^24 photons

3.38 x 10 ^-19 J
should be negative

then 3.38 x 10 ^18 J x 1kJ/1000 J

you're converting from J to kJ.. just like meters to kilometres, you wouldn't multiply you would divide

A solution is prepared by adding .8 g of iron sulfate to 450mL of water
Anastasy [175]
Molar mass FeSO₄ =151.908 g/mol

Volume = 450 mL / 1000 = 0.45 L

1 mol ----------- 151.908 g
n mol ----------- 0.8 g

n = 0.8 * 1 / 151.908

n = 0.00526 moles 

M = n / V

M = 0.00526 / 0.45

M = 0.01168 mol/L⁻¹

hope this helps!
