There are two types of rocks that make up the continental crust "sedimentary and metamorphic rocks." Sedimentary rocks are formed with pressure and compaction, and metamorphic rocks are made with heat and pressure. The earth's crust itself is made up of sedimentary rocks because they are mainly found a little under earths crust same goes with metamorphic rocks.

Hope this helps!

Which best explains why blood is considered to be a suspension?

Stells [14]

I think the best answer is b): it contains particles that can settle out.

The definition of suspension is a heterogeneous (that is same in all parts) mixture that contains particles that could undergo sedimentation (settle down) - this definition is close to b). It should not matter whether those particles are nutrients( so A or C are not good answers).

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it will be possible for us to use the Dalton's law, in order to solve this problem. However, we first need to calculate the mole fraction of oxygen by firstly calculating the moles of each gas:

$n_{H_2}=\frac{14.0g}{2.02g/mol} =6.93mol\\\\n_{N_2}=\frac{84.0g}{28.02g/mol}=3.00mol\\\\n_{O_2}=\frac{64.0}{16.00g/mol} =2.00mol$
