Answer:

D. loss of volatiles to the atmosphere

Explanation:

The name magma designates matter in a semi-fluid state - resulting from the fusion of silicates containing dispersed solid gases and minerals and other compounds that make up the rocks, at temperatures between 700 and 1200 ° C - that forms the region beneath the crust. land. When it is inside the earth it is specifically named magma and lava when it is ejected to the surface

There are three systems by which magma can be produced on earth:

<u> Temperature</u> rise by concentration of r<u>adioactive elements or by friction of lithospheric plates</u>.

<u> Pressure decrease,</u> since the melting point decreases.

Adding <u>water</u> A rock begins to melt earlier if it contains water because the –OH groups effectively break the Si-O bonds.

A rock is formed by a set of minerals, each of which has a characteristic melting point so a rock does not have a single melting point but a temperature range in which the rock melts into parts, leaving others solid parts. Between the point at which a solid rock begins to melt and the melting end (liquid point) the rock is partially molten.

The rise of magmas depends on their physical-chemical conditions (viscosity, density, volatile element content), on the tectonic peculiarities of the region where they are found and on the rocks to be traversed. Acid magmas are light and viscous, rise easily and cause large deposits. The basic magmas, of greater density, are less viscous and ascend with greater difficulty than the previous ones.

The energy stored in a wooden log transforms when the log is burned. Which of the following explanations BEST describes how the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.

A dolphin swims due east for 1.90 km, then swims 7.20 km in the direction south of west. What are the magnitude and direction of
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

magnitude = 7.446 km, direction = 75.22° north of east

Explanation:

From the questions,

To get the the magnitude of the resultant vector we use Pythagoras theorem

a² = b²+c²

From the diagram,

y² = 1.9²+7.2²

y² = 55.45

y = √(55.45)

y = 7.446 km.

The direction of the dolphin is given as,

θ = tan⁻¹(7.2/1.9)

θ = tan⁻¹(3.7895)

θ = 75.22° north of east

Hence the magnitude of the resultant vector = 7.446 km, and it direction is 75.22° north of east

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is
Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

F = AY\alpha \Delta T

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

\alpha= Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

\Delta T= Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

A = 4.45cm^2

T = 37K

\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}

Y = 200*10^9Gpa

Replacing we have,

F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)

F = 38526.1N

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300 K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900 K. (i) By what factor does t
Dahasolnce [82]

The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.

An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900K.

(i) By what factor does the average kinetic energy of the molecules change, (a) a factor of 9, (b) a factor of 3, (c) a factor of \sqrt{3}, (d) a factor of 1, or (e) a factor of \frac{1}{3}?

Using the same choices in part (i), by what factor does each of the following change: (ii) the rms molecular speed of the molecules, (iii) the average momentum change that one molecule undergoes in a colision with one particular wall, (iv) the rate of collisions of molecules with walls, and (v) the pressure of the gas.

Answer: (i) (b) a factor of 3;

              (ii) (c) a factor of \sqrt{3};

              (iii) (c) a factor of \sqrt{3};

             (iv) (c) a factor of \sqrt{3};

              (v) (e) a factor of 3;

Explanation: (i) Kinetic energy for ideal gas is calculated as:

KE=\frac{3}{2}nRT

where

n is mols

R is constant of gas

T is temperature in Kelvin

As you can see, kinetic energy and temperature are directly proportional: when tem perature increases, so does energy.

So, as temperature of an ideal gas increased 3 times, kinetic energy will increase 3 times.

For temperature and energy, the factor of change is 3.

(ii) Rms is root mean square velocity and is defined as

V_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}T}{m} }

Calculating velocity for each temperature:

For 300K:

V_{rms1}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}300}{m} }

V_{rms1}=30\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }

For 900K:

V_{rms2}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_{B}900}{m} }

V_{rms2}=30\sqrt{3}\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }

Comparing both veolcities:

\frac{V_{rms2}}{V_{rms1}}= (30\sqrt{3}\sqrt{\frac{k_{B}}{m} }) .\frac{1}{30} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_{B}} }

\frac{V_{rms2}}{V_{rms1}}=\sqrt{3}

For rms, factor of change is \sqrt{3}

(iii) Average momentum change of molecule depends upon velocity:

q = m.v

Since velocity has a factor of \sqrt{3} and velocity and momentum are proportional, average momentum change increase by a factor of

(iv) Collisions increase with increase in velocity, which increases with increase of temperature. So, rate of collisions also increase by a factor of \sqrt{3}.

(v) According to the Pressure-Temperature Law, also known as Gay-Lussac's Law, when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, pressure and temperature are directly proportional. So, when temperature increases by a factor of 3, Pressure also increases by a factor of 3.
