“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.

What is the pressure in a gas container that is connected to an open-end U-tube manometer if the pressure of the atmosphere is 7
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The pressure in the gas is 656mmHg

Explanation:

In calculating the pressure of the gas;

step 1: convert the height of the mercury arm to mmHg

9.60cm = 96.0 mmHg

step 2: convert 752 torr to mmHg

I torr is 1 mmHg

752 torr = 752mmHg

Step 3: since the level of mercury in the container is higher than the level of mercury exposed to the atmosphere, we substrate the values to obtain our pressure.

So, 752mmHg - 96mmHg = 656mmHg

The pressure in the gas container is therefore 656mmHg.

N. B : if the mercury arm is in lower position, you add.

An atom that contains 22 protons,
Westkost [7]

Answer: 45

Explanation:

Recall that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. Hence, the mass number of the atom

= 22 + 23

= 45

Furthermore, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Hence, since the number of protons is 22. the atom has an atomic number of 22

Thus, An atom that contains 22 protons,

23 neutrons, and 22 electrons would have a mass of approximately 45

Choose the element described by the following electron configuration.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Argon

Explanation:

Electron configuration given               1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.

Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.

                      2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18

The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.

Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration

                      3s² 3p⁶

Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.

Sum the exponents    2 + 6 = 8

Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.

The element with these characteristics is Argon.
