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

Chemistry
1 answer:
topjm [15]3 years ago
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).

 

<span>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!!!!!!</span>

From the data below, calculate the total heat (in j) needed to convert 0.782 mol of gaseous ethanol at 300.0°c and 1 atm to liqu
Anika [276]

Answer:

You must remove \text{50.6 kJ} .

Explanation:

There are three heat transfers in this process:

Total heat = cool the vapour + condense the vapour + cool the liquid  

       q          =           q₁            +                q₂                   +           q₃

       q          =       nC₁ΔT₁        +          nΔHcond             +        nC₂ΔT₂

Let's calculate these heat transfers separately.

Data:

You don't give "the data below", so I will use my best estimates from the NIST Chemistry WebBook. You can later substitute your own values.

C₁ = specific heat capacity of vapour = 90 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

C₂ = specific heat capacity of liquid   = 115 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

ΔHcond = -38.56 kJ·mol⁻¹

Tmax = 300   °C

  b.p. =   78.4 °C

Tmin =   25.0 °C

n = 0.782 mol

Calculations:

ΔT₁ = 78.4 - 300 = -221.6 K

q₁ = 0.782 × 90 × (-221.6) = -15 600 J = -15.60 kJ

q₂ = 0.782 × (-38.56) = -30.15 kJ

ΔT = 25.0 - 78.4 = -53.4 K

q₃ = 0.782 × 115 × (-53.4) = -4802 J = 4.802 kJ

q = -15.60 - 53.4 - 4.802 = -50.6 kJ

You must remove \text{50.6 kJ} of heat to convert the vapour to a gas.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer: Tfinal = 7.1°C

Explanation:

heat released or absorbed = mass × specific heat capacity × change in temperature

q = m × cg × ΔT  (eqn 1)

Note:  ΔT = (Tfinal - Tinitial)

(q = ? ΔHsoln=25.7kJ/mole = 25700J/mole; mass of solution, m = 100 + 35g = 135g; cg = specific heat capacity of water  = 4.18 J°C-1g-1; ΔT = ? masss of solute, NH4NO3 = 35g, molar mass of solute, NH4NO3 = 80g)

molar enthalpy of solution, ΔHsoln <em> = heat absorbed or released ÷ moles of solute, </em><em>n</em>

ΔHsoln = q ÷ n

q = ΔHsoln × n

<em>moles solute</em>, n = mass solute (g) ÷ molar mass solute (g mol-1)

moles of solute, n = 35g/80g/mol = 0.4375 moles

q = 25700J/mol × 0.4375 mol = 11243.75J

From equation 1 above, ΔT = q / (m × cg) = 11243.75J / (135 × 4.18 J°C-1g-1) = 19.9°C

Since the reaction is endothermic, Tinitial > Tfinal, therefore, Tfinal = Tinitial - ΔT = 27 - 19.9 = 7.1°C
