In which layer of the earth does the motion of the convection currents drive plate movement?
a.)mantle
b.)outer core
c.)asthenosphere
d.)lithosphere

option (A)

Explanation: The convection current is generates in the mantle due to the heat radiated from the core of the earth. Due to this convection current, the lithospheric plates moves as the upper part of the mantle known as the asthenosphere, is the region which is viscous in nature and drives the plates to move. This is a repeating cycle that constantly forces the plates to move.

Thus the correct answer is option (A).

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
