Answer: -

The acceleration due to gravity at height r = a = GM/r²

Rearranging

r² = GM /a

= (6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.972 x 10²⁴ ) / 5

r = 8.917 x 10⁶ m

r = 8917 Km

Now Radius of earth = 6371 Km

So height = 8917 - 6371 = 2546 Km

The thin outer layer of Earth, called the crust, contains only 0.50 percent of Earth's total mass and yet is the source of almos

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is $7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$ .

Explanation:

Mass of Earth = $5.9\times 10^{21} tons$

(1 ton= 2000 lb)

(1 lb =453.6 g)

1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g

Mass of Earth = $5.9\times 10^{21}\times 907,200 g=5.3524\times 10^{27} g$

Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%

Mass of earth crust = M

$0.50\%=\frac{M}{5.3524\times 10^{27}}\times 100$

$M=2.6762\times 10^{25} g$

Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %

Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m

$Si\%=\frac{m}{M}\times 100$

$27.2\%=\frac{m}{2.6762\times 10^{25} g}\times 100$

$m = 7.2792\times 10^{24} g=7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$

1000 g = 1 kg

The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is $7.2729\times 10^{21} kg$ .

Weight of one mole of carbon = 12.01 g Weight of one mole of oxygen = 16.00 g The molecular weight (gram formula weight) for CO

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

28.01g

Explanation:

Given the weight of one mole of Cabon as 12.01g and that of oxygen as 16.00g.

The molecular weight of a compound can be gotten by adding the molar weights of the elements that constitutes the compound .

The molecular weight of the compound CO is therefore

equal to the sum of the weight of both elements.

That’s = 12.01g + 16.00g

= 28.01g

Therefore, the molecular weight of CO is 28.01g

Extend your thinking: The slow decay of radioactive materials can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, and archaeological

lisov135 [29]

The age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

<h3>What is the half-life of a radioactive material?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the atoms present in the material to decay or disintegrate.

The half-life, $t_\frac{1}{2}$ , the age, t, and amount remaining, $A_{r}$ , of a radioactive material are related by the formula below:

$t = \frac{t_\frac{1}{2}*A_{r}}{-ln2}$

Half-life of carbon-14 = 6000 years

For the Egyptian papyrus with 63% of its original carbon-14 atoms: $t = \frac{6000*0.63}{-0.63} = 4000\:years$

For the Aboriginal charcoal with 22% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.22}{-0.63} = 13106.5\:years$

For the Mayan headdress with 79% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.79}{-0.63} = 2040\:years$

Neanderthal skull with 3% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.03}{-0.63} = 30353\:years$

Therefore, the age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.
