Why is the inner core under more pressure than the outer core

It turns out that many materials can be a solid at a higher temperature if the pressure is also higher. So, even though it is hotter in the inner core, the pressure in the core is also higher, and you can have solid iron-nickel instead of liquid.

I hope this helps

My guess would be is that the inner core is under a lot more pressure than the outer core. think about it. would a ball be under more pressure if it is under water or floating?

A sample of helium gas occupies 355ml at 23°c. if the container the he is in is expanded to 1.50 l at constant pressure, what is
ss7ja [257]

Answer: The final temperature would be 1250.7 K.

Explanation: We are given a sample of helium gas, the initial conditions are:

V_{initial}=355mL=0.355L  (Conversion factor: 1L = 1000 mL)

T_{initial}=23\°C=296K (Conversion Factor: 1° C = 273 K)

The same gas is expanded at constant pressure, so the final conditions are:

V_{initial}=1.50L

T_{initial}=?K

To calculate the final temperature, we use Charles law, which states that the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

V\propto T

\frac{V_{initial}}{T_{initial}}=\frac{V_{final}}{T_{final}}

Putting the values, in above equation, we get:

\frac{0.355L}{296K}=\frac{1.50L}{T_{final}}

T_f=1250.7K

Nitrogen dioxide gas is dark brown in color and remains in equilibrium with dinitrogen tetroxide gas, which is colorless.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

This reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.

Explanation:

2NO₂ (g) ⇌ N₂O₄(g)

Reactant => NO₂ (dark brown in color)

Product => N₂O₄ (colorless)

From the question given above, we were told that when the reaction at equilibrium was moved from room temperature to a higher temperature, the mixture turned dark brown in color.

This simply means that the reaction does not like heat. Hence the reaction is exothermic reaction.

Also, we can see that when the temperature was increased, the reaction turned dark brown in color indicating that the increase in the temperature favors the backward reaction (i.e the equilibrium shift to the left) as NO₂ which is the reactant is dark brown in color. This again indicates that the reaction is exothermic because an increase in the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium position to the left.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

The reaction is exothermic because the system shifted to the left on heating.
