Why have we not drilled or mined deeper into earth ??

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Scientists have determined that the center of the earth is 6371 km below the surface. But how has this been determined? Many people might answer that question by saying scientists can drill into the Earth with machines. However, the drilling rigs that scientists use can only drill about 20 km in the Earth which is not very deep! In other words, we can only drill into upper part of the crust of the earth. Extremely high temperatures and pressures within the Earth make drilling into it very difficult</span>

A drop of vinegar ( a weak acid ) is placed on a sample of each of the materials below. Which will show the most active reaction

professor190 [17]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Marble is also known as calcium carbonate and its chemical formula is $CaCO_{3}$ .

When it combines with vinegar then it results in the formation of calcium acetate which is a water soluble compound along with the release of carbon dioxide which occurs in the form of bubbles and water.

The reaction is as follows.

$CaCO_{3} + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow Ca(CH_{3}COOH)_{2} + H_{2}O + CO_{2}$

Whereas vinegar being a weak acid will not react with glass, copper and steel.

Braddy connected the lose wire to the battery and created an electromagnet. He picked up 45 thumb tacks with his electromagnet,

Usimov [2.4K]

In order to increase the strength of his electromagnet and pick up more thumbtacks Braddy should use two batteries instead of one. Using two batteries will increase the amount of current in the coils which will induce a higher electromagnetic field in the nail.
Another option would be to increase the number of coils of wire.

A chemist mixes 75.0 g of an unknown substance at 96.5°C with 1,150 g of water at 25.0°C. If the final temperature of the system

AleksAgata [21]

To do this problem it is necessary to take into account that the heat given by the unknown substance is equal to the heat absorbed by the water, but considering the correct sign:

$-m\cdot c_e\cdot \Delta T = m_w\cdot c_e_w\cdot \Delta T_w$

Clearing the specific heat of the unknown substance:

$c_e = \frac{m_w\cdot c_e_w\cdot \Delta T_w}{m\cdot \Delta T} = -\frac{1\ 150\ g\cdot 4.184\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}\cdot (37.1 - 25.0)^\circ C}{75\ g\cdot (37.1 - 96.5)^\circ C}$

$c_e = -\frac{1\ 150\ g\cdot 4.184\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}\cdot 12.1^\circ C}{75\ g\cdot (-59.4)^\circ C} = \bf 13.07\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}$
