Answer:

His map of the ocean floor did not support his theory

Explanation:

  • Alfred Wegner was a great scientist
  • He observed the plate tectonics of earth and described it in a theory.
  • It was dismissed after viewing his ocean floor

Ethanol (C2H5OH) melts a - 144 oC and boils at 78 °C. The enthalpy of fusion of ethanol is 5.02 kj/mol, and its enthalpy of vapo
hammer [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The total heat required is 36621.5 J

<u>For b:</u> The total heat required is 58944.5 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For a:</u>

To calculate the heat required at different temperature, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T         .........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

\Delta T = change in temperature

To calculate the amount of heat required at same temperature, we use the equation:

q=m\times \Delta H      ........(2)

where,

q = heat absorbed

m = mass of substance

\Delta H = enthalpy of the reaction

The processes involved in the given problem are:

1.)C_2H_5OH(l)(35^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=35^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-35]^oC=43^oC=43K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_1=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 43K\\\\q_1=4153.8J

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{35.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_2=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_2=32467.7J

Total heat required = [q_1+q_2]

Total heat required = [4153.8J+32467.7J]=36621.5J

Hence, the total heat required is 36621.5 J

  • <u>For b:</u>

The processes involved in the given problem are:  

1.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-155^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\\2.)C_2H_5OH(s)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\\3.)C_2H_5OH(l)(-144^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\\4.)C_2H_5OH(l)(78^oC)\rightarrow C_2H_5OH(g)(78^oC)

  • <u>For process 1:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_s=0.97J/g.K\\T_2=-144^oC\\T_1=-155^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[-144-(-155)]^oC=11^oC=11K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_1=42.0g\times 0.97J/g.K\times 11K\\\\q_1=448.14J

  • <u>For process 2:</u>

We are given:

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{fusion}=5.02kJ/mol=\frac{5.02kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=109.13J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_2=42.0g\times 109.13J/g\\\\q_2=4583.5J

  • <u>For process 3:</u>

We are given:

Change in temperature remains the same.

m=42.0g\\c_l=2.3J/g.K\\T_2=78^oC\\T_1=-144^oC\\\Delta T=[T_2-T_1]=[78-(-144)]^oC=222^oC=222K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

q_3=42.0g\times 2.3J/g.K\times 222K\\\\q_3=21445.2J

  • <u>For process 4:</u>

We are given:

m=42.0g\\\Delta H_{vap}=38.56kJ/mol=\frac{38.56kJ}{1mol}\times (\frac{1000J}{1kJ})\times (\frac{1}{46g/mol})=773.04J/g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

q_4=42.0g\times 773.04J/g\\\\q_4=32467.7J

Total heat required = [q_1+q_2+q_3+q_4]

Total heat required = [448.14+4583.5+21445.2+32467.7]J=58944.5J

Hence, the total heat required is 58944.5 J

Collision of which two types of plates create the deepest earthquakes? Why do you think this is?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The collision of oceanic plates and any other plates in which the oceanic plate slides beneath the other plate creates the biggest earth quakes. Most of these earth quakes occur beneath the sea or oceans and can cause volcanic eruptions as well. Tsunami is another oceanic event that occurs due to earth quakes occurring due to shifting of plates beneath the sea.

Which of these humans activities is a serious threat to marine ecosystems
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Pollution, non native species being introduced, and other human activities

Explanation:

Human activities affect marine ecosystems as a result of pollution, overfishing, the introduction of invasive species,and acidification, which all impact on the marine food web and may lead to largely unknown consequences for the biodiversity and survival of marine life forms.
