Answer:

The outer core of the earth is liquid.

Explanation:

Seismic waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and are reflected and refracted diffracted differently as they encounter layers of different densities.

By analyzing these waves, they have concluded that there is an inner core of solid iron surrounded by a liquid outer core consisting of nickel and iron.

A is wrong. The Earth consists of several layers

C is wrong. Seafloor spreading is caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.

D is wrong. The mantle is mostly solid rock.

Describe what happens to an ionic compound when it has been fully dissolved in water

Marat540 [252]

When you immerse an ionic compound in water, the ions are attracted to the water molecules, each of which carries a polar charge. If the attraction between the ions and the water molecules is great enough to break the bonds holding the ions together, the compound dissolves.

Down a group, the electron shielding tends to________

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation The number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can't attract electrons as strongly.

How many grams are in 32.2 L of CO2?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

63.25 grams of CO₂

Explanation:

To convert from liters to grams, we first need to convert from liters to moles. To do this, we divide the liters by 22.4, the amount of liters of a gas per mole.

32.2 / 22.4

= 1.4375 moles of CO₂

Now we want to convert from moles to grams. To do this, we multiply the moles by the molar mass of CO₂. The total molar mass can be found on the periodic table by adding up the molar mass of carbon (12) and two oxygen (32).

12 + 32 = 44

Now we want to multiply the moles by the molar mass.

1.4375 • 44

= 63.25 grams of CO₂

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!
