Answer:

Lithospheric plates move apart under the ocean floor.

Explanation:

The mantel convection currents movement occurs it stretches the crust apart. The heat from convection currents makes the the Earth crust molecules less stable because the heat makes them move apart and shake on molecular level which makes crust more flexible.

Which solution is more concentrated?

deff fn [24]

2 moles of NaOH dissolved in 1 litre of solution is the solution with more concentration.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Concentration of solution is the measure of the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent of the solution. So this is measured using the molarity of the solution. Molarity is determined as the number of moles of the solute present in the given amount of solvent.

$\text {Molarity}=\frac{\text {Moles of solute}}{\text {Amount of solvent }}$

In this present case, the option A gives the molarity of 2 M as

$\text {Molarity}=\frac{2}{1}=2 M$

But the second option, mass of NaOH is given. So we have to determine the molarity. First we have to find the molar mass of NaOH. We know that 1 mole of NaOH will contain 40 g/mole.

1 g of NaOH = 40 g of NaOH

1 g of NaOH = 1/40 moles

So 2 g of NaOH will contain $\frac{2 g}{40 g/mole}$ which is equal to 0.05 moles of NaOH.

Thus, the molarity of 2 g of NaOH will be

Molarity = $\frac{0.05 moles }{1 L}$ =0.05 M

Thus, the option A is having higher concentration as the molarity is more for 2 moles of NaOH dissolved in 1 l of solution.
