The continental crust, or the crust that lies beneath the continents, usually ranges from around 30 to 45 kilometers thick. These thicknesses are found on most continents and are dependent on height above sea level and mountainous regions. Although there are rare areas that exceed 70 kilometers thick, according to the United States Geological Survey, or USGS, less than 10 percent of the total area of the Earth's crust exceeds 50 kilometers thick.

Thicknesses below 30 kilometers are typically only found under the ocean and are called oceanic crust. The thinnest sections of the crust are only approximately five kilometers thick, which is a small fraction of the thickness of the thickest parts of the continental crust. The thickness of oceanic crust is difficult to estimate by looking only at proximity to continents or latitude since the crust varies greatly from coast to coast and everywhere in between. For example, along the eastern coast of the United States, the oceanic crust ranges from 10 to 30 kilometers thick, according to the USGS.

Classify the following changes as physical or chemical changes. a. Water boils. b. Salt dissolves in water c. Milk turns sour d.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Water boils - physical change

Salt dissolves in water- chemical change

Milk turns sour- chemical change

metal rusts - chemical change

Explanation:

A chemical change refers to changes that are irreversible and the process involves the evolution of heat along with the formation of a new substance, examples include;Salt dissolves in water, Milk turns sour, metal rusts etc

The boiling of water is a physical change. The water can be cooled and the vapour condensed,hence, the boiling of water is a physical change.

Physical changes are easily reversible and no new substance is formed.

How many atoms are there in 2.43 g of calcium?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We're asked to calculate the number of atoms of

Ca

in

153

g Ca

.

What we must first do is convert the given mass of calcium to moles of calcium, using its molar mass (referring to a periodic table, this is

40.08

g

):

153

g Ca

(

What is the highest occupied molecular orbital in the O2 molecule?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

H2 is known to exist. For dihydrogen, H2, we can identify the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs). The highest occupied molecular orbital (or HOMO) is the σ (sigma) 1s MO. The lowest unoccupied MO (LUMO) is the σ* (sigma star) 1s MO which is antibonding.

<span>The </span>abundance of a chemical element<span> is a measure of the </span>occurrence<span> of the </span>element<span> relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by the </span>mass-fraction<span> (the same as weight fraction); by the </span>mole-fraction<span> (fraction of atoms by numerical count, or sometimes fraction of molecules in gases); or by the </span>volume-fraction<span>. Volume-fraction is a common abundance measure in mixed gases such as planetary atmospheres, and is similar in value to molecular mole-fraction for gas mixtures at relatively low densities and pressures, and </span>ideal gas<span> mixtures. Most abundance values in this article are given as mass-fractions.
