Which layer of Earth is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates?

Chemistry

Convection currents in the mantle are what causes the movement of tectonic plates. As the extremely hot molten material from the mantle rises toward the crust, it cools enough to become denser and sink back into the hotter area of the mantle.

A 7.74 L balloon is filled with water at 3.88 atm. If the balloon is squeezed into a 0.23 L beaker and does NOT burst, what is t
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

131 atm

Explanation:

To find the new pressure, you need to use Boyle's Law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

In this equation, "P₁" and "V₁" represent the initial pressure and volume. "P₂" and "V₂" represent the final pressure and volume. You can find the new pressure (P₂) by plugging the given values into equation and simplifying.

P₁ = 3.88 atm                       P₂ = ? atm

V₁ = 7.74 L                           V₂ = 0.23 L

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂                                                      <----- Boyle's Law

(3.88 atm)(7.74 L) = P₂(0.23 L)                       <----- Insert values

30.0312 = P₂(0.23 L)                                      <----- Simplify left side

131 = P₂                                                          <----- Divide both sides by 0.23

Please help me with this basic organic conversion.<br>use the shortest way to do it​
jonny [76]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.

The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The  propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.

The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.

For which structure(s) does the electron-bearing carbon atom have a formal charge of zero
AlladinOne [14]

Formal charge can be calculated from the following formula

Formal charge = valency of central atom - (number of lone pair of electrons + number of covalent bonds)

a) for methylene:

Formal charge = 4 -( 2+ 2) = 0

b) For methyl free radical

Formal charge = 4- (3 +1) = 0
