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 Earth is always _______ as it revolves around the sun.

EastWind [94]

Answer

Rotating

Explanation:

The Earth is always being pulled towards the Sun by gravity.

The Earth is not moving fast enough to "escape" the Sun's gravity and leave the solar system, but it is going too fast to be pulled into the Sun. Therefore, it keeps going around and around( roating)- orbiting the Sun.

What is the molar mass of a gas if a flask with a volume of 3. 16 l contains 9. 33 grams of the gas at 32. 0°c and 1. 00 atm?

Serhud [2]

The molar mass of a gas if a flask with a volume of 3. 16 L contains 9. 33 grams of the gas at 32. 0°C and 1. 00 atm is 1.17g/mol

Calculation ,

In this question we have to fist find the number of moles of gas by using ideal gas equation and from the help of number of moles we can determine molar mass.

According to ideal gas equation which is also known as ideal law ,

PV = nRT ...( i )

where P is the pressure of the gas = 1 atm

V is the volume of the gas in the flask with volume = 3. 16 L

R is the universal gas constant = 0.082 atm L/K mol

T is the temperature = 32. 0°C = 32 + 273 = 305 K

n is the number of moles = ?

Putting the value of Pressure P , volume V , temperature T , number of moles n and universal gas constant R in the equation (i) we get ,

1 atm ×3. 16 L = n× 0.082 atm L/K mol ×305 K

n = 1 atm ×3. 16 L / 0.082 atm L/K mol × 305 K = 0.126 mole

number of mole of a gas = 0.126 mole = given mass/ molar mass

molar mass = number of moles × Given mass = 0.126 × 9. 33 = 1.17g/mol

<h3>What is common name of NaOH?</h3>

The common name of NaOH is sodium hydroxide. Lye and caustic soda are other names for sodium hydroxide, an inorganic substance having the formula NaOH. It is a white, solid ionic substance made up of the cations sodium (Na+) and the anions hydroxide (OH). Sodium hydroxide is a chemical that manufacturers utilize to make things like soap, rayon, paper, explosives, colors, and petroleum products. Processing cotton fabrics, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extraction are further uses for sodium hydroxide. A caustic metallic base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sometimes referred to as lye or caustic soda. Caustic soda, an alkali, is commonly employed in a variety of sectors, primarily as a potent chemical base in the production of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, and detergents.

What is the Na+ concentration in each of the following solutions:

iren [92.7K]

Sodium Sulfate = Na2(SO4) meaning there are two ions of Na+ in one mole of Sodium Sulfate the M stands for Molarity, defined as Molarity = (moles of solute)/(Liters of solution), So if the Na2SO4 solution is 3.65M that means one Liter of has 3.65 moles of Na2SO4, the stoichiometry of Na2SO4 shows that there would be two Na+ ions in solution for every one Na2SO4.

Therefore if 3.65 moles of Na2SO4 was to dissolve, it would produce 7.3 moles of Na+, and since this is still a theoretical solution, we can assume 1 L of solution.

Finally we find [Na+] = 2*3.65 = 7.3M

Use the same logic for parts b and c
