Tectonic plates are large segments of the Earth's crust that moves slowly. Suppose that one such plate has an average speed of 4.0 cm/per year. a.) what distance does it move in 1 second at this speed. b.) What is the speed per kilometer per million years

a.

b. = 40 km/ million years

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

According to the question, Data provided in the question

Average speed = 4.0 cm / per year

Distance move in 1 second at this speed

Based on the above information

a. For distance move in 1 second is

As we know that

b. For speed per kilometer per million years is

= 40 km/ million years

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz
