Which part of the mantle is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid?

Chemistry

Answer:

asthenosphere

Explanation:

Aesthenosphere is the uppermost part of the mantle and it is a region known for it high viscosity. The aesthenosphere is like a thick and heavy liquid. The next layer above the aesthenosphere is the lithosphere.

The aesthenosphere is what drive convection and plate tectonic . Convection talks about when less dense material rises and more dense material sinks.

The aesthenosphere through convection allows the lithospheric plate to move on it and this is what causes deformation and ductility of various rock bodies. This region plays a major role in plate tectonic as they determine how the plate are been separated into different parts.

This aesthenosphere is the region were molten magma migrate to the earth surface. The molten magma might erupt through volcano to the earth surface due to pressure .

Hello!

Your answer is A, asthenosphere

<u>The asthenosphere is a part of the mantle</u>. It helps move the plates in the Earth.

It is <u>below the lithosphere,</u> between <u>80 and 200 km</u> below the surface.

Therfore, the asthenosphere is <u>the part of the mantle that is still a solid but flows like a thick, heavy liquid.</u>

<u />

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Acetic acid has the formula ch3cooh. At low ph this protonated, uncharged form is the most abundant form in solution. As the ph
slamgirl [31]

Acetic acid is a weak acid. So, the undissociated acid molecules exist in equilibrium with the dissociated form. The equilibrium representing the weak acidic nature of acetic acid is,

CH_{3}COOH(aq)+H_{2}O(l)CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq)+H_{3}O^{+}(aq)

The interior of the cell membrane is hydrophobic. So, the membrane allows uncharged species (hydrophobic) to pass through it. Charged groups cannot easily pass through the membrane. We can say acetic acid can easily pass through the membrane when compared to the charged form acetate ion. At low pH, more of the molecule will cross the membrane as most of the acetic acid will be in undissociated and uncharged form at a lower pH.

pK_{a}of acetic acid is around 4.8. So at a pH value less than 4.8, we can say the more of the acetic acid molecules can cross the membrane.

Which of the following can be mixed in solution with NH3 to make a buffer?A. NH4CIB. NaClC. HNO3D. NaOH
Lynna [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A.NH4Cl

<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>How are buffer formed?</h2>

Buffers are formed by mixing an equal amount of weak base or acids and their corresponding salts.

Therefore in order to make a buffer with NH3 (a weak base), then a corresposding weak salt is required. A corresponding salt for the given base is NH4Cl

standard form

I believe you mean express as

To do this consider

or more generally

10

n

where n is an integer.

• If n > 0

move decimal point n places to the right

• If n < 0

move decimal point n places to the left

here n = 5 > 0, hence move decimal point 5 places to the right.
