“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.

So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.

Consider the fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase reaction. Calculate the free energy change if the ratio of the concentrations of the pr
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The free energy change for the reaction at 37.0°C is -8.741 kJ.

Explanation:

The free energy of the reaction is given by :

\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT\ln K

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs free energy

R = Gas constant = 8.314J/K mol

T = temperature in Kelvins

K = equilibrium constant

We have :

\Delta G^o=-16.7 kJ/mol=-16,700 J/mol

1 kJ = 1000 J

T = 37.0 C = 37 +273.15 K = 310.15 K

Ratio of concentrations of the products to the concentrations of the reactants =K = 21.9

\Delta G=-16,700 J/mol+8.314J/K mol\times 310.15 K \ln[21.9]

=-8,741.22 J = -8.741 kJ

The free energy change for the reaction at 37.0°C is -8.741 kJ.

If you have 8 g of a radioactive element there will be Of the radioactive element left after one half life
marta [7]

Answer:

4g of the radioactive element present

Explanation:

Radioactive elements are atoms that are unstable in normal conditions and are converted in another different atoms.

1 half life express the time that is need to decay the half of the initial amount of the radioactive element.

If initially we have 8g of the radioactive element, after 1 life we will have 8g/2 =

4g of the radioactive element present

Iron crystallizes in a body-centered cubic unit cell. The edge length of this cell is 287 pm. Calculate the density of iron in g
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Density = 7.87 grams per mL

Explanation:

Density is given by the formula:

d=\frac{Z\times M}{a^{3}\times N_a}

where

Z = effective number of atoms in one unit cell.

M = Molecular mass of the substance

a = edge length of unit cell

Na = Avogadro number = 6.022×10²³

In this case:

Z=2 as it is body-centered type unit cell

M = 56 g per mole for iron

a =  287 pm = 287\times10^{-10}\ cm

Substituting the above values in the density formula we get:

d=\frac{2\times56}{(287\times10^{-10})^{3}\times6.022\times10^{23}}=7.87\ g\ per\ ml

Density of iron is 7.87 grams per mL.
