Answer:

The statement "Temperatures in the Earth's interior are above the normal melting point of rock" is a true statement.

Explanation:

The Earth's interior is composed of four different layers; the mantle, the planetary core, the outer core, and the inner core. Three of them are solid and one liquid and although estimates on the temperature in these layers can vary, the average goes from 9.000 to 13.000 degrees Fahrenheit. Considering that the melting point for a rock goes between 572 to 1.200 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the size of the rock, it is correct to state that the temperatures in the Earth's interior are above the normal melting point of rock.

Calculate the mass of 0.00456 moles of (NH4)2SO4

Anna [14]

To find the mass you need to find the weight of a mol of the molecules by adding up the atomic mass.

N = 14.007 g/mol
H = 1.008 g/mol
S = 32.065 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol

2(14.007) + 8(1.008) + 32.065 + 4(16) = 132.143 g/mol

Now you know how much an entire mol weight you multiply it by how much you actually have

0.00456 * 132.143 = 0.603 g

Which answer is an isotope of 40/20x? Question Pictured here:

Nesterboy [21]

An isotope of ₂₀⁴⁰X ⇒₂₀⁴⁴X

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

In the following element notation,

$\large {{{A} \atop {Z}} \right X}$

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

= number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

= number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

For symbol of isotope X :

₂₀X⁴⁰ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40

A. ₄₀²⁰X : atomic number = 40, mass number = 20, neutrons=20

B. ₂₀⁴⁰X²⁺ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40, neutrons=20

C. ₂₁⁴⁰X : atomic number = 21, mass number = 40, neutrons=19

D. ₂₀⁴⁴X : atomic number = 20, mass number = 44, neutrons=22

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?

vazorg [7]

Answer:

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron is energy.

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The valence electrons are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a nonvalence electron occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.

Ber [7]

Answer:

Alchemy is a practice of making gold from other metals.

Explanation:

Alchemy is a method which is practiced by the ancient scientists of Europe, Africa and Asia trying to produced gold from other metals. This method was failed to produced gold from metals and all scientist suggested that metals can not be converted into gold. Greeks were the people who presented the theory of alchemy in the first few centuries of CE.
