Concept explainers

Ideal Gas Law

Ideal gas law states that the product of pressure and volume of a gas directly varies with the product of the number of moles, the universal gas constant, and the temperature of the gas.

From Hawaii to the bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor chain is about 4000 km. Use the speed of Pacific plate motion given in Problem 7 to estimate how long ago the direction of plate motion changed. (Note: It may not be a coincidence that the San Andreas fault became active in what is now Southern California at about the same time.) 7. The Hawaiian-Emperor chain of undersea volcanoes is about 7500 km long, and the Pacific plate is moving 9.2 cm a year. How old is the oldest detectable volcano in the chain? What has happened to older volcanoes in the chain?
