Volcanic islands can form over hot spots. The Hawaiian Islands started forming over hot spots in the Pacific Ocean millions of years ago. What process causes the hot, solid rock to rise through the mantle at these locations?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Convection Currents

Explanation:

Due to the different   temperature occurring at the  upper and lower layers  of the mantle, it causes  heat transfer to occur. One of such heat transfer is the Convection currents which causes  warmer, less dense rock material in the core to rise through the mantle. Also, the cooler rocks in the higher mantle move slowly towards the core.The movement caused by these  Convection current in the Earth are  called plate tectonics which are responsible for earthquakes and volcanoes.

What is the percent composition of Cs in CsPO4?

Answers

Answer:

58.3%

Explanation:

The formula of the compound is given as:

     CsPO₄  

Now, the percentage composition of Cs in the compound is = ?

So;

To find this parameter, find the molar mass of the compound:

  Molar mass of  CsPO₄   = 132.9 + 31 + 4(16)  = 227.9g/mol

Percentage composition of Cs= [tex]\frac{132.9}{227.9} x 100[/tex]   = 58.3%

Suppose the body is projected from the ground at 24.5 m/s, 60* above the horizontal. Find the (a) time of flight, (b) range, and (c) maximum height.
helppppppp (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞​

Answers

a. t = 4.33 s

b. R = 53.04 m

c. H = 22.97 m

Further explanation

Given

vo=initial velocity=24.5 m/s

Angle = θ = 60°

Required

(a) time of flight, (b) range, and (c) maximum height.

Solution

Parabolic motion

a. time to flight

t = (2vo sin θ) / g

t = (2 x 24.5 x sin 60) / 9.8

t = 4.33 s

b. range (horizontal range) :

R = (vo² sin2θ )/g

R =(24.5² sin 120)/9.8

R = 53.04 m

c. maximum height

H = (vo²sin²θ)/2g

H = (24.5²sin²60)/2.9.8

H = 22.97 m

why is it called the periodic table of elements (why is the word periodic in it)

Answers

Answer:

It is called "periodic" because elements are lined up in cycles or periods. From left to right elements are lined up in rows based on their atomic number (the number of protons in their nucleus). ... Each horizontal row in the table is a period. There are seven (or eight) total periods.

What is the name of this compound S2I4?

Answers

Answer:

Di Sulphur tetraiodide is the chemical compound with the formula S2I4

Explanation:

A 1.00 L flask is filled with 1.20 g of argon at 25 ∘C. A sample of ethane vapor is added to the same flask until the total pressure is 1.300 atm .

What is the partial pressure of argon, PAr, in the flask?

Answers

Answer:

Partial pressure of Ar = 0.73 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of flask = 1.00 L

Mass of Ar = 1.20 g

Temperature = 25 °C (25+273.15 K= 298.15 k)

Total pressure = 1.300 atm

Partial pressure of Ar = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of Ar:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 1.20 g/ 39.95 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Pressure of Ar:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L /mol.K

P×1.00 L =  0.03 mol ×  0.0821 atm.L /mol.K× 298.15 k

P = 0.73 atm.L /1.00 L

P = 0.73 atm

Total pressure = Partial Pressure of Ar + Partial pressure of ethane

1.300 atm = 0.73 atm + P(ethane)

P(ethane) = 1.300 atm - 0.73 atm

P(ethane) = 0.57 atm

How many moles are in 9.07 x 10^23 atoms of sodium chloride?​

Strong acids contain more H3O+ than weak acids do. Strong acids contain more HA than weak acids do. Strong acids contain more OH− than weak acids do.

Answers

Answer:

Strong acids contain more A− than weak acids do.

Strong acids contain more H3O+ than weak acids do

Explanation:

When we talk about a strong acid, we are referring to any acid that is completely dissociated or ionized when it is in an aqueous solution.

It is very eager to lose a proton, H+ in solution according Arrhenius definition.

In aqueous solution, a strong acid ionizes as follows:

HA(aq) + H2O → H3O+(aq) + A−(aq)

Since, strong acids ionize completely in solution, strong acids contain a greater H3O+ and A− concentration than solutions of weak acids.

Answer:

A. Strong acids contain more A− than weak acids do.

B. Strong acids contain more H3O+ than weak acids do.

D. Strong acids contain more OH− than weak acids do.

B

D
29 protons, 31 electrons

Answers

Answer:

B  29 protons, 27 electrons

Explanation:

The given specie is copper ion:

         Cu²⁺  

We are to find the number of protons and electrons it contains.

 The number of protons is the positively charged particles in the atom.

 Electrons are the negatively charged particles in the atom.

The number of protons is the same as the atomic number

Atomic number of copper  = 29

 Number of protons  = 29

 Now;

    Charge  = Number of protons  - Number of electrons

     2  = 29  - number of electrons

     -27  = - number of electrons

 Number of electrons  = 27

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

You see, we must cast our minds back to Charles' law. Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume of a gas and temperature of the gas.

Now, Micheal left the balloon outside at a particular temperature and volume the previous night. Overnight, the temperature dropped significantly and so must the volume of the gas in the balloon!

Remember that Charles' law states that, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure. Since the pressure was held constant, the drop in the volume of gas in the balloon can be accounted for by the drop in temperature overnight.

I traveled for 0.5 hr at 80 km/h. How far did I travel?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]Speed = 80km/hr[/tex]

[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]

Required

Determine the distance covered

Distance is calculated as:

[tex]Distance = Speed * Time[/tex]

Substitute values for Speed and Time

[tex]Distance = 80km/hr * 0.5hr[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 80km * 0.5[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]

Consider the following reaction:
10 KCIO3 + 3 P4 → 3 P4010 + 10 KCI
Given 30 moles of P4 and 86 moles of KCIO3, which would act as the limiting reactant?

Answers

Answer: [tex]KClO_3[/tex] is the limiting reactant in the given reaction.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the chemical specie which gets totally consumed in the reaction and the formation of product is dependent on this reagent.

We are given:

Moles of [tex]P_4[/tex] = 30 moles

Moles of [tex]KClO_3[/tex] = 86 moles

The given chemical equation follows:

[tex]10KCIO_3+3P_4\rightarrow 3P_4O_{10}+10KCI[/tex]

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 10 moles of [tex]KClO_3[/tex] reacts with 3 moles of [tex]P_4[/tex]

Then, 86 moles of [tex]KClO_3[/tex] will react with = [tex]\frac{3}{10}\times 86=25.8moles[/tex] of [tex]P_4[/tex]

As, given amount of [tex]P_4[/tex] is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Therefore, [tex]KClO_3[/tex] is considered as a limiting reactant because it limits the formation of product.

2. Convert 5.3 x 1025 molecules of CO2 to moles.

Answers

Gdydhdduudhdhsjsjsjs

ANSWER:

moles CO2 = 88 mol

EXPLAIN:

In order to go from molecules of CO2 to moles of CO2, we have to use the following relationship:

I usually set up dimensional analysis questions like this:

Quantity sought = Quantity given x conversion factor

Quantity sought → mol CO2Quantity given → 5.3×1025 moleculesConversion factor → 1mol/6.02×10∧23

Now we just plug the values into the format I have above (make sure your units cancel out as you are going through this process, that's how you know if you are doing the calculations correctly or not):

moles CO2 = 5.3×10∧25 molecules×1mol/6.02×10∧23 molecules

moles CO2 = 88 mol

The percent composition of carbon in acrylonitrile is

d 22.646%

Answers

Answer:

67.89

Explanation:it’s right

The percent composition of carbon in  compound of acrylonitrile is 22.646%.

What is percent composition?

Percent composition  is defined as a convenient way to record concentration of solution.It is a expression which relates mass of element  to mass of compound  as,mass of element/mass of compound×100.

Percent composition helps in elemental analysis of compound which is useful in analysis of ores also.  It helps in making solutions while performing the titrations.  It helps in prediction of chemical formula which can be predicted by mass and molar mass of an element.

The compound acrylonitrile  has a molar mass 53.06 g/mole and that of carbon is 12 g/mole thus, percent composition of carbon in  compound of acrylonitrile is 12/53.06×100=22.646%.

Thus, the percent composition of carbon in  compound of acrylonitrile is 22.646%.
