qestions do you have about plate tectonics
From the deepest ocean trench to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and the past.
Developed from the 1950s to the 1970s, the theory of plate tectonics is the modern update to continental drift, an idea first proposed by scientist Alfred Wegener in 1912 which stated that Earth’s continents had “drifted” across the planet over time. Wegener didn't have an explanation for how continents could move around the planet, but researchers do now: plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large slabs of solid rock, called “plates,” that glide over Earth's mantle, the rocky inner layer above Earth’s core. Earth’s solid outer layer, which includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, is called the lithosphere. It is 100 km (60 miles) thick, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Below the lithosphere is the asthenosphere—a viscous layer kept malleable by heat deep within the Earth. It lubricates the undersides of Earth's tectonic plates, allowing the lithosphere to move around.
Answer:
1. How fast do tectonic plates move? Answer: There are seven major plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, North American, Pacific and South American
2. What are the factors affecting plate tectonics? Answer: The force that causes most of the plate movement is thermal convection, where heat from the Earth's interior causes currents of hot rising magma and cooler sinking magma to flow, moving the plates of the crust along with them.
3. What 3 things support the theory of plate tectonics? Answer: Modern continents hold clues to their distant past. Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed.

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:
The electron arrangement ions [tex]X^{3+}[/tex] and [tex]Y^{2-}[/tex] are 2, 8, and 2, 8, 8 respectively.
Write the electronic arrangement of the elements X and Y.
Write the formula of the compound that would be formed between X and Y.
Answer: 1. The electronic arrangement for X and Y are 2,8, 3 and 2,8,5 respectively.
The formula of the compound formed is [tex]X_2Y_3[/tex]
Explanation:
Electronic configuration is the arangement of electrons in an atom in order of increasing energies.
Cations are formed when electrons are lost by atoms and anions are formed when electrons are gained by atoms.
[tex]X^{3+}:2,8[/tex]
[tex]X:2,8,3[/tex]
[tex]Y^{3-}:2,8,8[/tex]
[tex]Y:2,8,5[/tex]
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced.
Here element X is having an oxidation state of +3 called as [tex]X^{3+}[/tex] cation and [tex]Y^{2-}[/tex] is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral [tex]X_2Y_3[/tex]

what is the electronic structure of an atom with a proton number 11 and mass number 23
Answer:
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1
Explanation:
electron configuration of an element gives description of the distribution of electron in it's orbital of the atom, the superscript symbolize number of electron been hold by them.
The element here is sodium, which is a alkali metal
mass number =23
Number of proton= 11
electron must be seen in thelowest-energy subshell that is available in the the 3s orbital,
Hence, the electronic configuration is
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1

Calcule el volumen de disolución de LiOH a 3.5 M, necesario para neutralizar una disolución de 25 ml de H2SO3 cuya densidad es de 1.03 g/ml y su riqueza del 60%. (60 PTS.) Alguien puede ayudarme con esto porfabor
Respuesta:
0.11 L
Explicación:
Paso 1: Escribir la ecuación balanceada
2 LiOH + H₂SO₃ ⇒ Li₂SO₃ + H₂O
Paso 2: Calcular la masa de solución de H₂SO₃
25 mL de solución de H₂SO₃ tiene una denisdad de 1.03 g/mL.
25 mL × 1.03 g/mL = 28 g
Paso 3: Calcular la masa de H₂SO₃ en 26 g de Solución de H₂SO₃
La riqueza de H₂SO₃ es 60%, es decir, cada 100 g de solución hay 60 g de H₂SO₃.
26 g Sol × 60 g H₂SO₃/100 g Sol = 16 g H₂SO₃
Paso 4: Calcular los moles correspondientes a 16 g de H₂SO₃
La masa molar de H₂SO₃ es 82.07 g/mol.
16 g × 1 mol/82.07 g = 0.19 mol
Paso 5: Calcular los moles de LiOH que reaccionan con 0.19 moles de H₂SO₃
La relación molar de LiOH a H₂SO₃ es 2:1. Los moles de LiOH que reaccionan son 2/1 × 0.19 mol = 0.38 mol.
Paso 6: Calcular el volumen de solución de LiOH
0.38 moles de LiOH están en una solución 3.5 M. El volumen requerido es:
0.38 mol × 1 L/3.5 mol = 0.11 L

An 886 mL sample of Neon gas is at 752 torr and 299 K. What will be the new volume if, with the pressure and amount of gas held constant the temperature is increased to 371 K?
Answer:
[tex]V_2=1099.35mL[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information, it is possible to infer that as both the amount of the gas and the pressure remains the same, we can solve this problem via the Charles' law a directly proportional relationship between the volume and temperature:
[tex]\frac{V_2}{T_2} =\frac{V_1}{T_1}[/tex]
Thus, by solving for the final volume, V2, we obtain:
[tex]V_2 =\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1} \\\\V_2 =\frac{886mL*371K}{299K}\\\\V_2=1099.35mL[/tex]
Best regards!
A gas at a temperature of 300 K occupies a 5 L flexible container at a pressure of 150 kPa. What volume will it occupy at STP?
6.73 L
This one requires the combined gas law.
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
P1 = 150 kPa = 1.48 atm
V1 = 5 L
T1 = 300 K
P2 = 1 atm
V2 = This is what we’re solving for.
T2 = 273 K
P2 and T2 are based on the conditions of STP. I also changed P1 to atm to keep the units consistent.
Solve the equation for V2:
V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2
V2 = (1.48 atm)(5 L)(273 K) / (300 K)(1 atm) = 6.73 L
Answer correctly and dont bother coming to this question if you have the wrong answer.

A train with an initial velocity of 31 m/s begins accelerating at rate of 0.0705 m/s^2. If the train travels for 180.5s, how far does it travel?
Answer:
v = 43.72 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity of the train, u = 31 m/s
Acceleration of the train, a = 0.0705 m/s²
Time for which the train travel, t = 180.5 s
We need to find the final velocity of the train. Let it is v.. Using first equation of kinematics to find it such that,
[tex]v=u+at\\\\v=31+0.0705\times 180.5\\\\v=43.72\ m/s[/tex]
So the final speed of the train is equal to 43.72m/s.

Explanation:
How many moles of nitrogen gas are present in a 28.9 dm3 temperature of 55.0 °C and a pressure of 144 kPa?
Given :
Temperature, T = 55° C = ( 55 + 273 ) K = 328 K .
Volume of container, V = 28.9 dm³ = 0.0289 m³ .
Pressure, P = 144 kPa = 144000 Pa .
To Find :
Number of moles of nitrogen gas.
Solution :
We know, by ideal gas equation :
PV = nRT ( R ( universal gas constant ) = 8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ .
[tex]n = \dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n = \dfrac{144000\times 0.0289}{8.31 \times 328} \ moles\\\\n = \dfrac{4161.6}{2725.68}\\\\n = 1.53 \ moles[/tex]
Therefore, number of moles of nitrogen gas is 1.53 moles.
An oxidizing flame resembles the neutral flame slightly, but has an inner cone that is shorter and more pointed with an almost purple color instead of brilliant white true or false
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The answer to this question is true. The oxidizing flame is a flame which is gotten when oxygen is used excessively. The flame is bluish or almost purple in color. And it makes a hissing sound. The flame from this is shorter than the neutral flame. In the neutral flame there is neither the occurrence of oxidation or reduction.

What is the percent by mass of C in benzene (C6H6)? The molecular weight of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol and of hydrogen 1.00794 g/mol
Answer:
92.26% of C
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must assume we have 1 mole of benzene. The mole contains 6 moles of C and 6 moles of H. We have to convert these moles to grams in order to find the total mass and mass percent will be:
Mass atom / Total mass * 100
Mass C: 6mol C * (12.0107g / mol) = 72.0642g
Mass H: 6mol H * (1.00794g / mol) = 6.04764g
total mass: 72.0642g + 6.04764g = 78.11184g
Mass percent of C will be:
72.0642g C / 78.11184g* 100
92.26% of C
