The quartz in granite begins to melt at 650°C, so if we find a migmatite where quartz has melted in a granitic rock and we know

the temperature in the region increased with depth by about 25°C per kilometer, we could estimate the depth that the rock had been at to be about ________.
a. 12.5 km
b. 18.0 km
c. 23.5 km
d. 26.0 km

Answer:

d. 26.0 km

Explanation:

If the temperature in the region increases with depth by about 25 °C /km, then at a depth of 2 km the temperature would be 50 °C higher, at a depth of 3 km the temperature would be 75 °C higher and so on.

<u>The only way for finding melted quartz would be if the temperature is at least 650 °C.</u>

  • Temperature = 25 °C /km * Depth

We put the data given by the problem and <u>solve for Depth</u>:

  • 650 °C = 25 °C /km * Depth
  • Depth = 26.0 km

The mass of a single uranium atom is 4.70x10^-22 grams. How many uranium atoms would there be in 111 milligrams of uranium?
emmainna [20.7K]

2.4 x 10²² atoms

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

So the atomic mass obtained is the mass of the atom relative to the 12th carbon atom  

mass single Uranium atom=4.7 x 10⁻²² g

then for 111 mg=0.111 g

\tt \dfrac{0.111}{4.7\times 10^{-22}}=2.4\times 10^{22}

Dermal tissue in plants, is most like what tissue in humans?
Arte-miy333 [17]
The dermal tissue is basically the outer part of the cell that protects the plant cell so in that case it would be the carbohydrate or cell wall. If you would put the choices it could have been a bit better :)

Which is something that a PURE SUBSTANCE and a SOLUTION have in common?
zhuklara [117]

D) They both look uniform (the same) throughout.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Pure substance can be any element or compound and is formed from one type of atom/molecule only

Meanwhile, the solution is included in a mixture consisting of 2 or more pure substance

Pure substance can be formed through a chemical process while the mixture is through a physical process

Mixture can be separated by physical processes into components of pure substance while pure substance cannot

The mixture itself consists of a homogeneous and heterogeneous solution

The mixture can be divided into a homogeneous mixture if the composition/ratio of each substance in the mixture is the same and a heterogeneous mixture if the ratio of the composition of the substances is not the same (can be varied) in each place.

Mixtures can also be divided into solutions, suspensions, and colloids based mainly on the size of the particles

Homogeneous mixture = Solution

Heterogeneous mixture = suspension, and

The mixture is located between suspension and solution = Colloid

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

B.

the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation.

These are called genes. One mate reporduces with another made and the genetic buildup merges 50 % and 50% with genetics(if it's meiosis), or DNA codes from the parents to the offspring that then possess some of the genes. That shows heridity.
