“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.

Calculate the molality of a solution that contains 51.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, in 500 mL of carbon tetrachloride. The density
PtichkaEL [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} ......(1)

Given values:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride = 500 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}=(1.60g/mL\times 500mL)=800g

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molarity:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent (in g)}} .....(2)

Given values:

Given mass of naphthalene = 51.2 g

Molar mass of naphthalene = 128.17 g/mol

Mass of solvent = 800 g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\text{Molality of naphthalene}=\frac{51.2\times 1000}{128.17\times 800}\\\\\text{Molality of naphthalene}=0.499m

Hence, the molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m

Lucas rubs a plastic ruler on his sweater. He waves the ruler above a pile of shredded paper and notices that the pieces of pape
telo118 [61]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Firstly it is pertinent to know that, Electric force are due to the movement of electrons that is due to its gain and loss. This phenomenon is based on static electricity.

When the glass ruler is rubbed over the woolen sweater, the wool gets positively charged and the ruler gains electron to form negative charge.

Now if this charged is not earthed, the negative charged ruler attracts the uncharged bits of paper, as a result of which the paper gets attached to the ruler.
