Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.
The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.
The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
NH3/NH4+
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
From the equation;
NH3(aq)+HNO3(aq)→NH4+(aq)+NO3−(aq)
NH3 is the base; while NH4+ is the conjugate acid
HNO3 is the acid; while NO3- is the conjugate base
- The conjugate base of a Brønsted-Lowry acid is species that is formed after an acid donates a proton while the conjugate acid of a Brønsted-Lowry base is the species formed after a base accepts a proton.
The first thing we need to do here is to recognize the unit of molarity and the units of the given percentage of nitric acid.
Molarity is mol HNO3 / L of solution. This is our aim
The given percentage is 0.68 g HNO3/ g solution
multiplying this with density to convert g solution into mL solution and dividing with the molecular weight of HNO3 (63 g/mol) to convert g HNO3 to mol. Therefore we obtain
0.016 mol/ mL or 16.23 mol/ L (M)
It is B, From the bottom of the pyramid to the top
