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.

Explanation:

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

Can u guys help on 22. It will only take a min.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Alpha > beta>gamma

Explanation:

Comparing only the three common types of ionizing radiation, alpha particles have the greatest mass. Alpha particles have approximately four times the mass of a proton or neutron and approximately 8,000 times the mass of a beta particle.

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

How can the concentration of a solution be changed
Vlad1618 [11]

The mass of the salt converted into moles divided by the liters of water in a solution would give the Molarity (M) or concentration of the solution. The simplest way to change the solution would be to change the amount of solute or solvent in a solution.

Name two metals which will not liberate hydrogen from<br>dilute tetraoxosulphate(vi) acid.​
Cerrena [4.2K]
Copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) would not liberate hydrogen because they are less reactive than hydrogen since their standard reduction potential is higher.

What is the percent composition HCN?
kupik [55]

Answer:

see calculations in explanation

Explanation:

percent = part/total x 100%

part = ∑ atomic mass of element

  • hydrogen = 1.008 amu (atomic mass units)
  • carbon = 12.011 amu
  • nitrogen = 14.007 amu

total = ∑ molecular mass of compound

       = H amu  +  C amu +  Namu

       = 1.008 amu + 12.011 amu + 14.007 amu

       = 27.026 amu

%H = (1.008amu/27.026amu)100% = 3.730%

%C = (12.011amu/27.026amu)100% = 44.442%

%N = (14.007amu/27.026amu)100% = 51.827%

Check results ∑%values = 100%

3.730% + 44.442% + 51.827% = 99.999% ≅ 100%
