Geologists have a rule of thumb: when molten rock cools and solidifies, crystals of compounds with the smallest lattice energies appear at the bottom of the mass because of high power of solubility.

<h3>What is lattice energy? </h3>

The lattice energy is defined as the energy change upon the formation of one mole of crystalline ionic compound from its same constituent ions, that are assumed to be initially in the state of gases. It is also defined as measure of the cohesive forces which bind ionic solids together.

As the lattice energy of the ionic compound increase the solubility of that particular compound decrease. Hence compound which have low lattice energy are more soluble than compound having high lattice energy. When molten rocks cools and solidified, the compound having smallest lattice energy become more soluble than crystals of compound which have large lattice energy. Therefore, crystal of compound with the smallest lattice energy start appearing at the bottom of the mass.

Thus, we concluded that due to high solubility power of compound with low lattice energy appear at the bottom of the mass.

Which is a practical application of boiling-point elevation?
pishuonlain [190]
Boiling-point is the point of a pure liquid matter starts to evaporate and change into gaseous phase. It is where the set of conditions such as the pressure and temperature enough to do so. Boiling-point elevation, on the other hand, is the phenomenon of which the boiling point of a pure liquid matter is elevated because of the dissolved substances. A great example would be the boiling point of a distilled water (pure water) which is lesser than the boiling point of a sea water because of the dissolved salts. A pure water boils at 100°C at atmospheric pressure while a salt water boils at higher temperature than 100°C at the same pressure. Thus, the answer is D.

A rectangular block of solid carbon (graphite) floats at the interface of two immiscible liquids.
Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

Let us take the volume of block is x.

Since, the block is floating this means that it is in equilibrium. Formula to calculate net force will be as follows.

                F_{net} = Buoyancy force(F_{b}) - weight force(w)

Also, buoyancy force (F_{b}) = (volume submerged in water × density of water) + (volume in oil × density of oil)

          (F_{b}) = (0.592 V \times \rho) + (1 - 0.592)V \times 1000 g          

                      = (0.592 V \times \rho + 408 V) g

As,   W = V × density of graphite × g

It is given that density of graphite is 2.16 g/cm^{3} or 2160 kg/m^{3}.

So, W = 2160 V g

F_{net} = (0.592 V \rho + 408 V) g - 2160 V g = 0

            0.592 \rho = 1752

     \rho = 2959.46 kg/m^{3} or 2.959 g/cm^{3} is the density of oil.

It is given that mass of flask is 124.8 g.

Mass of 35.3 cm^{3} oil = 35.3 \times 2.959 104.7 g

Hence, in second weighing total mass will be calculated as follows.

                       (124.8 + 104.7) g

                       = 229.27 g

Thus, we can conclude that in the second weighing mass is 229.27 g.

What does it mean when a wave's amplitude increases?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: It's frequency also increases.

Explanation:

The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. ... The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy.

Hope this helps! Have a blessed day! Please mark me as brainlyest!?
