course of her investigation. Does this result support the theory of plate tectonics? Why or why not?

This result certainly can still support the theory of plate tectonics. As plates move with respect to one another, there are 3 main ways they can interact at the margins:
1. Subduction zones, where they collide to produce volcanos and ridges
2. Divergent margins, where they are moving away from each other, producing deep sea ridges
3. Transform margins, where the plates are sliding past one another laterally.

Volcanoes are not the only thing associated with plate boundaries. Over a relatively short period of geological time (10 years), and with no volcanic activity observed, it's likely the scientist is observing a divergent or transform margin, as opposed to the subduction margin commonly associated with volcanism.

Answer:

You cannot say it does not support the theory of plate tectonics because a decade is not enough time to observe the effects.  Also, there are three ways tectonic plates can move:  convergent boundary = collide into each other, divergent boundary = they separate, and transform boundary = they move back and forth.  The tectonic plate collisions can create nine different plate collision combinations.  Some effects of some collisions are the formation of new volcanoes, but not always.  Other collision combinations can form mountain ranges or islands, can create new sea floors, can widen an ocean basin, or can cause earthquakes.  The fact that no new volcanoes have been formed does not mean it does not support the theory of plate tectonics.

a) The least number of decimal points is 0 so you should round the answer to 43.

b) The least number of significant figures is 2 so round to 7.3

c)The least number of decimal places is 1 so round to 225.7

d) The least number of significant figures is 3 so round to 92.0

e) The least number of significant figures is 3 so round to 32.4

f) The least number of decimal places is 0 so round to 104m^3

Basically, for addition and subtraction round to the least number of decimal places found in the factors, and for multiplication and division round to the least number of significant figures found in the factors.

In which of the following aqueous solutions would you expect AgI to have the highest solubility? In which of the following aqueo
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated,it is calculated by dividing the mass of the compound by mass of the solvent then multiply by the molar concentration.

molar mass of solvent (Agl)= 107.8682 + 126.90447 = 234.77267g/mol

For 0.038M of Nal

molar mass of Nal compound= 22.99 + 126.90447 = 149.89447g/mol

solubility = [ 149.89447 / 234.77267] * 0.038 = 0.024

For 0.05M of AgNO3

molar mass of AgNO3 compound = 107.8682 + 14.01 + 3(16) = 169.8782g/mol

solubility = [169.8782 / 234.77267] * 0.05 = 0.036

For 0.025M of KI

molar mass of KI compound = 39.0983 + 253.8089 = 292.9072g/mol

solublity = [292.9072 / 234.77267] * 0.025 = 0.031

For 0.0125M of Lil

molar mass of Lil compound = 6.941 + 253.8089 = 260.7499g/mol

solubility = [260.7499 / 234.77267] * 0.0125 = 0.014

Therefore the solution with the highest solubility is 0.05M of AgNO3

The dipole moment (μ) of HBr (a polar covalent molecule) is 0.838D (debye), and its percent ionic character is 12.4 % . Estimate
myrzilka [38]

<span>When two electrical charges, of opposite sign and equal magnitude, are separated by a distance, a dipole is established. The size of a dipole is measured by its dipole moment (</span>μμ). Dipole moment is measured in Debye units, which is equal to the distance between the charges multiplied by the charge (1 Debye equals 3.34×10−30Cm3.34×10−30Cm). The dipole moment of a molecule can be calculated by Equation 1.11.1:

μ = qr

where

<span> <span>μ⃗ μ→ is the dipole moment vector</span> <span>qiqi is the magnitude of the ithith charge, and</span> <span>r⃗ ir→i is the vector representing the position of ithith charge.</span> </span>

 

r = μ/q

<span>r = [0.838D(3.34×10−30 C⋅m/ 1D)]/ (1.6×10−19 C) *0.124

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of MgCl2 with NaOH? Express your answer as a chemical equation. View Available Hi
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Net ionic equation for the reaction between MgCl₂ and NaOH in water:

\rm Mg^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\; OH^{-}\; (aq) \to Mg(OH)_2\;(s).

Net ionic equation for the reaction between MgSO₄ and BaCl₂ in water:

\rm {Ba}^{2+}\; (aq) + {SO_4}^{2-}\;(aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s).

Explanation:

Start by finding the chemical equations for each reaction:

MgCl₂ reacts with NaOH to form Mg(OH)₂ and NaCl. This reaction is a double decomposition reaction (a.k.a. double replacement reaction, salt metathesis reaction.) This reaction is feasible because one of the products, Mg(OH)₂, is weakly soluble in water and exists as a solid precipitate.

\rm MgCl_2\; (aq) + 2\; NaOH\; (aq)\to Mg(OH)_2 \; (s) + 2\; NaCl\; (aq).

MgSO₄ reacts with BaCl₂ in a double decomposition reaction to produce BaSO₄ and MgCl₂. Similarly, the solid product BaSO₄ makes this reaction is feasible.

\rm MgSO_4\; (aq) + BaCl_2\; (aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s) + MgCl_2\; (aq).

How to rewrite a chemical equation to produce a net ionic equation?

  1. Rewrite all reactants and products that ionizes completely in the solution as ions.
  2. Eliminate ions that exist on both sides of the equation to produce a net ionic equation.

Typical classes of chemicals that ionize completely in water:

  • Soluble salts,
  • Strong acids, and
  • Strong bases.

Keep the formula of salts that are not soluble in water, weak acids, weak bases, and water unchanged.

Take the first reaction as an example, note the coefficients:

  • MgCl₂ is a salt and is soluble in water. Each unit of MgCl₂ can be written as \rm Mg^{2+} and \rm 2\; Cl^{-}.
  • NaOH is a strong base. Each unit of NaOH can be written as \rm Na^{+} and \rm OH^{-}.
  • Mg(OH)₂ is a weak base and should not be written.
  • NaCl is a salt and is soluble in water. Each unit of NaCl can be written as \rm Na^{+} and \rm Cl^{-}.

\rm Mg^{2+} + 2\; Cl^{-} + 2\; Na^{+} + 2\; OH^{-} \to Mg(OH)_2\;(s) + 2\; Na^{+} + 2\; Cl^{-}.

Ions on both sides of the equation:

  • \rm 2\; Cl^{-}, and
  • \rm 2\; Na^{+}.

Add the state symbols:

\rm Mg^{2+}\; (aq) + 2\; OH^{-}\; (aq) \to Mg(OH)_2\;(s).

For the second reaction:

\rm MgSO_4\; (aq) + BaCl_2\; (aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s) + MgCl_2\; (aq).

\rm Mg^{2+} + 2\; {SO_4}^{2-} + Ba^{2+} + 2\; Cl^{-} \to BaSO_4\; (s) + Mg^{2+} + 2\; Cl^{-}.

\rm Ba^{2+}\; (aq) + {SO_4}^{2-}\; (aq) \to BaSO_4\; (s).
