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. Your welcome :)

What is the theoretical yield of cyclohexene (in grams) that could be formed from 0.105 moles of cyclohexanol and 0.0444 moles o

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

3.65 g of cyclohexene

Explanation:

Cyclohexanol + phosphoric acid ----> cyclohexene

The reaction is 1:1 hence the limiting reactant is phosphoric acid.

Hence,

1 mole of phosphoric acid yields 1 mole of cyclohexene

0.0444 moles of phosphoric acid yields 0.0444 moles of cyclohexene

Theoretical yield = number of moles of cyclohexene × molar mass of cyclohexene

Theoretical yield = 0.0444 moles of cyclohexene × 82.143 g/mol

Theoretical yield = 3.65 g of cyclohexene

The mass of the ocean is about 1.8 1021 kg. if the ocean contains 1.076% by mass sodium ions, na+, what is the mass in kilograms

castortr0y [4]

In chemistry, if you want to express the amount of a substance out of the total amount, you express it in concentration. There are numerous units of measurement: molarity, molality, normality, mass percentages, volume percentage, or a mix of both. For this problem, the unit used for concentration is in mass percentages. The formula would be

Percentage Concentration = [(Actual Amount of Substance)/(Total amount of all substances)] * 100

Since we are given with the total mass of all the substances in the ocean and the percentage concentration, the only missing information is the actual amount of Na+ in the ocean. Substituting the values:

1.076 = (Amount of Na+ /1.8×10²¹ kg)*100
Amount of Na+ = 1.9368×10¹⁹ kg

What are the gas laws? (Include Boyle's law, charles's law, gay lussac's law, an avogadro's law) Could someone please summarize

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Boyle's Law: When the pressure of a gas increases, the volume of the gas will decrease as long as the temperature and amount of gas are constant.

So basically pressure is inversely proportional to Volume, when one increases, the other decreases, vice versa.

Equation: $P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}$

Charles Law: When the temperature of a gas increases, the volume of a gas will also increase if the pressure and amount of gas are constant.

So basically Temperature and volume are directly proportional.

Equation: $\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

Gay Lussac's Law: When the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure of a gas also increases when volume and the amount of gas remain constant.

Basically, Temperature and Pressure are directly proportional.

Equation: $\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2} }{T_{2} }$

Avogadro's Law: The most intuitive gas law. When you increase the amount of gas, the volume will also increase.

Meaning the moles (amount of gas) is directly proportional to volume.

Equation: $\frac{V_{1} }{n_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{n_{2} }$ (n stands for moles)

There is a combined gas law and ideal gas law but those are just the gas laws mentioned above but combined together. These should be everything.

Please help! Help me solve problems about naming structures with IUPAC rules

lianna [129]

A. The longest carbon chain is eight, and it has two methyl groups attached to carbon three, and a special group attached to carbon five. Its two names could be:

3-dimethyl-5-(1-methylethyl)octane
3-dimethyl-5-isopropyloctane

Both of these are correct. This is an alkane, because it has all single bonds.

B. This has a triple bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl group off carbon 4. The longest chain is 5. It’s name is:

4-methyl-2-pentyne

This is an alkene, because of the double bond.

C. This has a double bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl off of four and an methyl off of six. The longest chain is eight (follow the longest chain of carbons).

4,6-dimethyl-2-octene

This is an alkene, because of the double bond.

D. This has an ethyl group at 1 and a methyl group at 2 (rotate the compound to make it as clean as possible, in this case, the ring is flipped and rotated to make it alphabetical with the smallest numbers possible). The two names are:

1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene
ortho-ethylmethylbenzene

Both are correct, the ortho prefix telling the location of the ethyl and methyl groups. This is an aromatic structure because of its double bonded ring.

E. The longest chain is nine, and has methyls at three, five, and seven, along with a propyl at five. The name is:

3,5,7-trimethyl-5-propylnonane

This is an alkane, due to the single bonds.

Hope this helps!
