What does continental drift and sea floor spreading have in common

Llana [10]

In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.

Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.

Selenium (Se) has 30 protons and 20 neutrons in each atom, therefore its atomic

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

30, 50

Explanation:

Hello,

In this since an element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in its atom, we can infer that selenium's atomic number is 30. Moreover, due to the fact the the neutrons are equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number or the number of protons, by knowing the number of neutrons we compute the atomic as follows:

$neutrons=mass-protons\\\\mass=neutrons+protons\\\\mass=30+20\\\\mass=50a.m.u$

Thus, answer is 30, 50.

Best regards.

10. A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an

Airida [17]

Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

$m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g$

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

$m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Apply the law of mass conservation:

$m_r=m_p$

Substitute the given variables:

$m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

$m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g$

The thallium (present as Tl2SO4) in a 9.486-g pesticide sample was precipitated as thallium(I) iodide. Calculate the mass percen

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: The mass percentage of $Tl_2SO_4$ is 5.86%

Explanation:

To calculate the mass percentage of $Tl_2SO_4$ in the sample it is necessary to know the mass of the solute ( $Tl_2SO_4$ in this case), and the mass of the solution (pesticide sample, whose mass is explicit in the letter of the problem).

To calculate the mass of the solute, we must take the mass of the $TlI$ precipitate. We can establish a relation between the mass of $TlI$ and $Tl_2SO_4$ using the stoichiometry of the compounds:

$moles\ of\ TlI = \frac{0.1824 g}{331.27\frac{g}{mol} } = 5.51*10^{-4}\ mol.$

Since for every mole of Tl in $TlI$ there are two moles of Tl in $Tl_2SO_4$ , we have:

$moles\ of\ Tl_2SO_4 = 2 * moles\ of\ TlI = 1,102*10^{-3}\ mol$

Using the molar mass of $Tl_2SO_4$ we have:

$mass\ of\ Tl_2SO_4 = 1,102*10^{-3}\ mol * 504.83\ \frac{g}{mol}= 0.56\ g$

Finally, we can use the mass percentage formula:

$mass\ percentage = (\frac{solute\ mass}{solution\ mass} )*100 = (\frac{mass\ of\ Tl_2SO_4}{pesticide\ sample\ mass})*100 = (\frac{0.56g}{9.486g})*100 = 5.86\%$
