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.

Answer:

Lithospheric plates move apart under the floor.

Explanation:

Because over time they spread out causing "seafloor spreading".

These could all go either way, hardness and other special properties are what I'm guessing would be the most accurate in determining the kind of material.
luster, cleavage, streak, and color can all be affected by other factors. but I guess cleavage would also be accurate. so I guess hardness special properties and cleavage would be the most reliable.

HELPPP simply the expression!!!!

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{ \sqrt{3} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{3} = \sqrt{3}$

when there is a radical in the denominator, we should rationalize (mutiply the denominator and numerator by the radical) to get rid of the radical in the denominator.

Calculate ΔrG∘ at 298 K for the following reactions.CO(g)+H2O(g)→H2(g)+CO2(g)2-Predict the effect on ΔrG∘ of lowering the temper

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1) ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) ΔG°r will decrease with decreasing temperature

Explanation:

CO(g) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO2(g)

1) ΔG°r = ∑νiΔG°f,i

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = ΔG°CO2(g) + ΔG°H2(g) - ΔG°H2O(g) - ΔG°CO(g)

from literature, T = 298 K:

∴ ΔG°CO2(g) = - 394.359 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°CO(g) = - 137.152 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°H2(g) = 0 KJ/mol........pure substance

∴ ΔG°H2O(g) = - 228.588 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 394.359 KJ/mol + 0 KJ/mol - ( - 228.588 KJ/mol ) - ( - 137.152 KJ7mol )

⇒ ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

2) K = e∧(-ΔG°/RT)

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/K.mol

∴ T = 298 K

⇒ K = e∧(-28.619/(8.314 E-3)(298) = 9.624 E-6

⇒ ΔG°r = - RTLnK

If T (↓) ⇒ ΔG°r (↓)

assuming T = 200 K

⇒ ΔG°r(200 K) = - (8.314 E-3)(200)Ln(9.624E-3)

⇒ ΔG°r (200K) = - 19.207 KJ/mol < ΔG°r(298 K) = - 28.619 KJ/mol

Dissolving brass requires an oxidizing acid such as concentrated nitric acid. Nitrogen dioxide is produced as a byproduct in thi

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

Step 1: Write down the chemical formulas of given substances,

Copper Metal = Cu

Nitric Acid = HNO₃

Copper (II) Nitrate = Cu(NO₃)₂

Nitrogen Dioxide = NO₂

Water = H₂O

Step 2: Write down the unbalance Chemical equation,

Cu + HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + H₂O

Step 3: Balance Cu atoms on both sides;

The number of Cu atoms on both sides are same. Hence, there number will remain the same.

Step 4: Balance N atoms on both sides;

As there is 1 N atom on left hand side and 3 N atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply HNO₃ by 3 to balance N on both sides, hence,

Cu + 3 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + H₂O

Step 5: Balance O atoms on both sides;

As there are 9 O atom on left hand side and 9 O atoms on right hand side, so they are balance.

Step 6: Balance H atoms on both sides;

As there are 3 H atom on left hand side and 2 H atoms on right hand side, so we will multiply H₂O by 2 as,

Cu + 3 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + 2 H₂O

By doing so the number of O atoms got imbalanced, so to balance O atoms again we will multiply HNO₃ by 4 as,

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + NO₂ + 2 H₂O

Now, The Cu and H atoms are balanced, and the O atoms are greater on left hand side and the N atoms are greater on right hand side, therefore we will multiply NO₂ by 2 to balance both N and O as,

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO₂ + 2 H₂O
