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

1 answer:

8 0

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

At what temperature does a gas at 1.00 atm and 20 degree Celsius have a pressure of 4.00 atm.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

P1 =4 atm

T1= 20°C

P2=1 atm

T2=?

According to Gay-Lussac's Law or Third Gas Law,

P1T2=P2T1

4×T2=1×20

T2= 20/4

T2= 5°C

Answer At 5°C temperature does a gas at 1.00 atm !

. Calculate the pH and the pOH of each of the following solutions at 25 °C for which the substances ionize completely:

barxatty [35]

A. HCl:
pH= -log [H3O+]
PH=-log (0.200)
= 0.699

poH= 14-0.699
= 13.301

b. NaOH:
PoH= -log [OH-]
= -log (0.0143)
= 1.845
pH= 14-poH
= 14- 1.845
= 12.16

c. HNO3:
PH= -log[H3O+]
=-log(3.0)
= -0.4771
poH= 14-pH
= 14-9-0.4771
= 14.4771

pH= -0.4771, poH= 14.4771

d. [Ca(OH)2] = 0.0031M
[OH-]= 2X0.0031
[OH-] = 0.0062M

PoH= - log[OH-]
=-log(0.0062)
=-log(6.2x10-3)
=-(-2.21)
= 2.21
PH=14-poH
=14-2.21
=11.79
POH=2.21, PH= 11.79

Calculate the specific heat of a piece of wood if 2000 g of wood absorbs 75,250 J of heat, and its temperature changes from 30°C

inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity=quantity of heat in joule/mass×change in temperature

from this question the quantity of heat is 75250,the mass is 2000 and the change in temperature is 50-30

which is 20

therefore

c=75250/2000×20

c=75250/40000

c=1.88

I hope this helps
