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.

Question 2*
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sc(OH)₃ = 96 g/mol

Explanation:

Gram formula mass:

Gram formula mass is the atomic mass of one mole of any substance.

It can be calculated by adding the mass of each atoms present in substance.

Sc(OH)₃:

Atomic mass of Sc = 45 amu

Atomic mas of O = 16 amu

There are three atoms of O = 16 ×3

Atomic mas of H = 1 amu

There are three atoms of H = 1 ×3

Gram formula mass of Sc(OH)₃:

Sc(OH)₃ = 45 ×1 + 16 ×3 + 1  ×3

Sc(OH)₃ = 96 g/mol

Consider the following oxides: SO2, Y2O3, MgO, Cl2O, and N2O5. How many are expected to form acidic solutions in water? Consider
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Three of the five oxides are expected to form acidic solutions in water

Explanation:

We have different types of oxides : Acidic oxides, Basic oxides, Amphoteric oxides, Peroxides and Higher oxides.

Only acidic oxides will dissolve in water to give an acidic solution.

Considering the given oxides carefully,

  • SO2 will dissolve in water to produce H2SO3 which is acidic.

  • Y2O3 will dissolve in water to produce Yttrium(III) hydroxide which is basic.

  • MgO will dissolve in water only to produce Mg(OH)2 which is also basic.

  • Cl2O dichlorine mono oxide will dissolve in water to produce HClO which is acidic.

  • N2O5 will dissolve in water to produce HNO3 which is also acidic.
