Since the new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, then the Earth is getting bigger.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is true that new crust is being created at the mid-oceanic ridges, but this does not make the Earth any bigger despite the the growth of oceanic crusts in these regions.

The reason that Earth does not get bigger is because the same plates that are being created at the divergent plate boundaries are recycled into the mantle at the subduction zones. Because of this, the surface area of the Earth remains the same.

A scientist prepared an aqueous solution of a 0.45 M weak acid. The pH of the solution was 2.72. What is the percentage ionizati

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

0.42%

Explanation:

∵ pH = - log[H⁺].

2.72 = - log[H⁺]

∴ [H⁺] = 1.905 x 10⁻³.

∵ [H⁺] = √Ka.C

∴ [H⁺]² = Ka.C

∴ ka = [H⁺]²/C = (1.905 x 10⁻³)²/(0.45) = 8.068 x 10⁻⁶.

∵ Ka = α²C.

Where, α is the degree of dissociation.

∴ α = √(Ka/C) = √(8.065 x 10⁻⁶/0.45) = 4.234 x 10⁻³.

∴ percentage ionization of the acid = α x 100 = (4.233 x 10⁻³)(100) = 0.4233% ≅ 0.42%.

An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 45 cubic centimeters per second. The pyramid, at the top, h

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.

Explanation:

Length of the base = l

Width of the base = w

Height of the pyramid = h

Volume of the pyramid = $V=\frac{1}{3}lwh$

We have:

Rate at which water is filled in cube = $\frac{dV}{dt}= 45 cm^3/s$

Square based pyramid:

l = 6 cm, w = 6 cm, h = 13 cm

Volume of the square based pyramid = V

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times l^2\times h$

$\frac{l}{h}=\frac{6}{13}$

$l=\frac{6h}{13}$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times (\frac{6h}{13})^2\times h$

$V=\frac{12}{169}h^3$

Differentiating V with respect to dt:

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d(\frac{12}{169}h^3)}{dt}$

$\frac{dV}{dt}=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

$45 cm^3/s=3\times \frac{12}{169}h^2\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times h^2}$

Putting, h = 4 cm

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{45 cm^3/s\times 169}{3\times 12\times (4 cm)^2}$

$=13.20 cm/s$

13.20 cm/s is the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 4 cm.
