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.

A reaction generates hydrogen gas (H) as a product. The re-

Amiraneli [1.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The average rate of the reaction is $7.82\times 10^{-3}M/min$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of hydrogen gas generated, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Moles of hydrogen gas = $3.91\times 10^{-2}mol$

Volume of solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }H_2=\frac{3.91\times 10^{-2}mol}{0.250L}=0.1564M$

Average rate of the reaction is defined as the ratio of concentration of hydrogen generated to the time taken.

To calculate the average rate of the reaction, we use the equation:

$\text{Average rate of the reaction}=\frac{\text{Concentration of hydrogen generated}}{\text{Time taken}}$

We are given:

Concentration of hydrogen generated = 0.1564 M

Time taken = 20.0 minutes

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Average rate of the reaction}=\frac{0.1564M}{20.0min}\\\\\text{Average rate of the reaction}=7.82\times 10^{-3}M/min$

Hence, the average rate of the reaction is $7.82\times 10^{-3}M/min$

Is NO a polar molecule?

aleksklad [387]

<span>Electronegativity values are useful in determining if a bond is to be classified as nonpolar covalent, polar covalent or ionic. The electronegativities of oxygen and nitrogen are respectively, 3.44 and 3.04 on Pauling scale, the electronegativity difference being, 0.4. The bond is considered to be non-polar covalent.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.64 Moles of Propane

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Data:

Moles of Carbon = 1.5 mol

Conversion factor = 7 mol C produces = 3 mol of Propane

Solution:

As we know,

7 moles of Carbon produces = 3 moles of Propane

Then,

1.5 moles of Carbon will produce = X moles of Propane

Solving for X,

X = (1.5 moles × 3 moles) ÷ 7 moles

X = 0.6428571 moles of Propane

Or rounded to two significant figures,

X = 0.64 Moles of Propane
