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

1 answer:

5 0

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!

What is the molar mass of CaCl2?

alekssr [168]

Molar mass of CaCl2 = 40+ ( 35.5 ×2)=110

Mr of Ca(OH)2 = 40+ (16+1)×2 =74

%of Ca = (40÷ 74)×10=...

1 m = 100cm...
1cm = (1÷100) m
So 45.5 cm = 45.5 ×(1÷100) =....

1km = 1000m
1m = 100 cm
1cm =10mm
So 1km = 1000×100×10 mm
Now convert

What is an abiotic factor in a squirrel's habitat that could be harmful if the factor changed

krek1111 [17]

Biotic and Abiotic Factors Form Ecosystems. In a healthy forest community, interacting populations might include birds eating insects, squirrels eating nuts from trees, mushrooms growing from decaying leaves or bark, and raccoons fishing in a stream. In addition to how individuals in a population interact with each other, let me know if it helps :)

Can some please answer these two questions?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

1. Mass of potassium (K) = 203.32 g

2. Number of mole of As = 7.53 moles

Explanation:

1. Determination of the mass of potassium (K)

Molar mass of K = 39.1 g/mol

Number of mole of K = 5.2 moles

Mass of K =.?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

5.2 = mass of K / 39.1

Cross multiply

Mass of K = 5.2 × 39.1

Mass of potassium (K) = 203.32 g

2. Determination of the number of mole of Arsenic (As)

Molar mass of As = 74.92 g/mol

Mass of As = 563.9 g

Number of mole of As =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Number of mole of As = 563.9 / 74.92

Number of mole of As = 7.53 moles
