This question is based on the Subduction Zones topic in the Tsunami Initiation Animation. Click here to access it. 1st attempt The initiation of a tsunami by a stick-slip subduction zone is similar to the motion experienced by which type of fault? Choose one: A. strike-slip fault B. normal fault C. reverse fault D. transform fault

C. reverse fault

Explanation:

Most tsunamis are formed by subduction zones that cause earthquakes from the movement of one tectonic plate over the other, below the ocean, promoting the movement of overlapping water. The friction between the plates causes an extensive accumulation of energy that increases to the point of extrapolating the limit between the two plates. In this process, when the initiation of a tsunami through a stick-slip subduction zone is similar to the movement experienced by a reverse failure.

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.

the dissociation of nickel hydroxide is follows:

the concentration of hydroxide ion is

the equilibrium constant value of nickel hydroxide is = 6.1 * 10^-^1^6 and thus equilibrium equation can be written as:

thus, concentration of ni is 0.23 * 10^-^4 mol /l
