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!!!!!!

The correct equation for the overall reaction can simply be obtained by adding the two separate equations together. Now when you add the two equations together, the overall K can be calculated by multiplying the individual K values. Therefore:

K(overall) = K1 * K2

K(overall) = (1.6 x 10^-10) * (1.5 x 10^7)

K(overall) = 2.4 x 10^-3

Answer:

pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

Explanation:

Ion exchange chromatography is a chemical process where molecules are separated by affinity to an ion exchange resin. To separate different aminoacids you must use the isoelectric point (That is the pH where the aminoacid will be in its neutral form).

For lysine, PI is:

$pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,1+10,5) =$ 9,8

For arginine:

$pH = \frac{1}{2} (9,0+12,5) =$ 10,75

At pH = 9,8 lysine will be in its neutral form and will not be retain in the column but arginine will be in +1 charge being retained by the ion exchange resin.

Thus, pH 9,8 is likely to work best for this separation

I hope it helps!
