Contrast the lithosphere and the asthenosphere

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The lithosphere is the hard, externel section of Earth, it includes the crust of Earth. The asthenosphere is underneath the lithosphere, & it is weak, unlike the lithosphere which is solid.

Hydrazine, N2H4, and hydrogen, H2O2, have been used as rocket propellants. They react according to the equation: H2O2 + N2H4 → N2 + H2O

a. How many moles of N2 are formed from 0.0250 moles of N2H4? (0.0250)

b. How many moles of H2O2 are required if 1.35 moles of H2O is to be produced? (0.675)

c. How many moles of H2O are formed if 1.87 moles of N2 is produced? (7.48)

Answers

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

H2O2 + N2H4 → N2 + H2O

Upon balancing the reaction, we have;

N2H4 + 2H2O2 → N2 + 4H2O  

a. How many moles of N2 are formed from 0.0250 moles of N2H4?

From the equation of the reaction;

1 mol of N2H4 produces 1 mol of N2

0.0250 mol of N2H4 would produce x mol of N2

1 = 1

0.0250 = x

x = 0.0250 * 1 / 1 = 0.0250 mol

b. How many moles of H2O2 are required if 1.35 moles of H2O is to be produced?

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of H2O2 produces 4 mol of H2O

x mol of H2O2 produces 1.35 mol of H2O

2 = 4

x = 1.35

x = 1.35 * 2 / 4 = 0.675 mol

c. How many moles of H2O are formed if 1.87 moles of N2 is produced?

The relationship between H2O produced and N2 is;

For every 1 mol of N2 produced, 4 mol of H2O is produced

1.87 mol of N2 produced, how many moles of H2O is produced?

1 = 4

1.87 = x

x = 1.87 * 4 / 1 = 7.48 mol

Answer is: D. sodium and sulfur.

When the electronegativity difference is greater, the bond polarity is increasing..  

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.  

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.  

Δχ(Na-S) = 2.6 - 0.95 = 1.655; electronegativity difference between sodium and sulfur.

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).

Sodium is metal (forms cation) and sulfur is nonmetal (forms anion).

Find volume of 1 mole of helium gas when the pressure is 1.46 atm and the temperature is 270k

Answers

we can use the ideal gas law equation to find the volume of He
PV = nRT
where P - pressure 1.46 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 147 934.5 Pa 
V - volume 
n - number of moles - 1 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 270 K
substituting these values in the equation
147 934.5 Pa x V = 1 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 270 K
V = 15.17 L
the volume is 15.17 L

Is it possible for an object not to be in motion and still have force acting upon it?

Answers

yes,this is an example:
An apple is sitting on a desk he is not in motion but one of the forces acting upon it is gravitational pull because is not floating around, the earth gravitational pull is pulling it down to the earth's surface.
