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.

Find the total number of atoms in a sample of cocaine hydrochloride, c17h22clno4, of mass 23.0 mg .
Nataliya [291]
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of <span>c17h22clno4 = 17(12) + 22(1) + 35.5 + 14 + 4(16) = 339.5 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = (23*10^-3) / (339.5)
number of moles = 6.77 * 10^-5 moles

number of atoms = number of moles * Avogadro's number
number of atoms = 6.77*10^-5 * 6.022*10^-23
number of atoms = 4.079 * 10^-27 atoms</span>

Why aren't descriptive investigations repeatable?
Bad White [126]
In descriptive investigations, we still haven't formed any hypothesis yet so we seek information by asking question.

It's not repeatable because repeating the questions over and over again without any clue about what we want to seek is completely waste of time.

Hope this helps xox :)
