What will happen to convection currents in the mantle if earths interior eventually cools down?

Chemistry

VLD [36.1K]3 years ago

If the core were to cool completely, the planet would grow cold and dead. It also would get a little dark: Power utilities pull radiant heat from Earth's crust and use it to heat water, the steam from which powers turbines to create electricity.Cooling also could cost us the magnetic shield around the planet created by heat from the core. This shield protects Earth from cosmic radiation. The shield is created by a convection process caused by constantly moving iron. Like the planet itself, Earth's core is constantly spinning. Some scientists think it's moving even faster than the rest of the planet. The friction converts kinetic energy into electrical and magnetic energy that forms the field, which deflects harmful, charged particles emanating from the sun toward the north and south poles. Your welcome :)

as the elements period 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, the number of principal energy levels in each succ
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

stay the same.

Explanation:  Period 3 consists of the full 1s, 2s, and 2p electron orbitals, plus the 3s and 3p valence orbitals, which are filled with a total of 8 more electrons as we move from left (Na) to the far right (Ar):

Na:  1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Ar:    s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

As we move from left to right, and ignoring the already-filled 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals, the period three starting and ending elements have the following:

Na: 3s1

Ar: 3s2, 3p6

All the new electrons electrons filled the third energy level (3s and 3p).  So the energy level does not change, just the orbitals.

When NH3(g) reacts with N2O(g) to form N2(g) and H2O(g), 105 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of NH3(g) that reacts. Wri
Ganezh [65]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

2NH_3(g)+3N_2O(g)\rightarrow 4N_2(g)+3H_2O(g)+210kcal

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms of individual elements present on product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

NH_3(g)+N_2O(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+H_2O(g)+105kcal

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of individual elements are not balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the NH_3, the coefficient 3 is put before the N_2O\text{ and }H_2O and the coefficient 4 is put before the N_2.

The energy evolved in this reaction = 105Kcal\times 2=210Kcal

Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be,

2NH_3(g)+3N_2O(g)\rightarrow 4N_2(g)+3H_2O(g)+210kcal

What limitation is placed on electrons in the bohr model of the atom?
Olegator [25]
I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.

How to keep pipes from freezing during power outage?.
Maurinko [17]

Answer: <em>Running water, even at a trickle, helps prevent pipes from freezing. If you decide to use fuel-burning equipment, such as a kerosene heater, ensure it is vented to outside and kept clear of any vents. Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage.</em>

Suppose you were given a substance and asked to determine weather or not it was a plasma. Write the characteristics you would lo
Sphinxa [80]

Electrical conductivity, electromagnetism, and temperature are the features that one would look for in order to determine plasma. Plasma refers to a hot ionized gas possessing high electrical conductivity. It is electrically neutral with negative and positive particles. It can be considered the most abundant form of matter in the universe.  

The features of plasma are substantially distinct from those of the usual neutral gases so that plasmas are regarded as a different fourth state of matter.
