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

1 answer:

6 0

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.

A certain gas is found in the exhaust of automobiles and power plants. Consider a 1.53 L sample of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 x

Olegator [25]

The new volume of the gas that has an initial pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ Pa is 5.7L. Details about volume of the gas can be found below.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a gas can be calculated using the Boyle's law equation as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure
P2 = final pressure
V1 = initial volume
V2 = final volume

1.53 × 5.6 × 10⁵ = 1.5 × 10⁵ × V2

8.568 × 10⁵ = 1.5 × 10⁵V2

V2 = 8.57 × 10⁵ ÷ 1.5 × 10⁵

V2 = 5.7L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas that has an initial pressure of 5.6 x 10⁵ Pa is 5.7L.

g Where, approximately, is the negative pole on each of these molecules? Lewis structure for C O F 2. A central C atom is single

seropon [69]

The molecule with higher dipole moment is COFH because the geometry of the molecule in the COF2 nearly cancel the dipolar moment of each other. To be more clear:

The dipolar moment is the vectorial sum of all bond moments in the molecule or dipolar moment of each bond. The dipolar moment of a molecule with three or more atoms is determined by bond polarity as their geometry.

COF2 has a trigonal planar structure which are symmetric. The electronegativity of oxygen is slightly different regarding fluor. So as you can see in the image, the electronic density is specially displaced to the fluor atoms, but either to the oxygen atom.

COFH has a trigonal structure but differs from COF2 because there is an hydrogen who is donating it's electronic density, so in this zone the electronic density is less than over oxygen or fluor. That makes bond angles be different between them.
