What is the composition of the mantle

2 answers:

7 0

The mantle under the crust is about 1,800 miles deep (2,890 km). It is composed mostly of silicate rocks rich inmagnesium and iron. Intense heat causes the rocks to rise. They then cool and sink back down to the core.

Answer:

The mantle is the middle layer of the earth, and it has a thickness of about 2900 km. It covers approximately 85% of the total earth's volume. This layer is comprised of elements such as oxygen, silicon, magnesium, aluminum, sodium, calcium, and iron. The rocks present here are mostly silicate rocks and are dominant in olivine, pyroxene, iron, and magnesium. These are denser minerals.

The mantle is again sub-divided into 2 distinct parts namely, upper mantle (includes the layer of asthenosphere) and lower mantle.

The upper mantle is comparatively less solid in nature in comparison to the lower mantle, which is marked by the presence of the asthenosphere layer, in which the rocks tend to flow in response to deformation.

A calorimeter contains 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 8.23 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside the calorimeter. When equilibrium ha

Tju [1.3M]

When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:

Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm

when
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water

Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal

by substitution:

100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)

∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C

when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg

Positive Deviation from Raoult's Law occurs when the vapour pressure of component is greater than what is expected in Raoult's L

8090 [49]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

In positive deviation from Raoult's Law occur when the vapour pressure of components is greater than what is expected value in Raoult's law.

When a solution is non ideal then it shows positive or negative deviation.

Let two solutions A and B to form non- ideal solutions.let the vapour pressure of component A is $P_A$ and vapour pressure of component B is $P_B$ .

$P^0_A$ = Vapour pressure of component A in pure form

$P^0_B$ = Vapour pressure of component B in pure form

$x_A$ =Mole fraction of component A

$x_B=$ =Mole fraction of component B

The interaction between A- B is less than the interaction A- A and B-B interaction.Therefore, the escaping tendency of liquid molecules in mixture is greater than the escaping tendency in pure form.Hence, the vapour pressure of a mixture is greater than the initial value of vapour pressure.

$P_A >P^0_A\cdot x_A$ , $P_B>P^0_B\cdot x_B$

Therefore, $P_A+P_B >P^0_A\cdot x_A+P^0_B \cdot x_B$

Therefore, the enthalpy of mixing is greater than zero and change in volume is greater than zero.

Hence, option a,b,c and d are true.

Explain why solar energy is considered an inexhaustible source of energy

scoray [572]

Answer:

Solar power

Or in some cases, from heat from the sun. ... Solar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels that are finite. It is also a non-polluting source of energy and it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.
