Chemistry

elena55 [62]3 years ago

Well we are not able to see the internal structure of the Earth directly because we can't get at it! The thinnest crust is under the oceans but even that is around 7kms thick, way deeper than we can drill. We have to use indirect methods like earthquakes, and infer the structure from the way the pressure and shear waves produced travel through the Earth.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Aspirin was purified in the lab by recrystallizing the crude aspirin. The melting point of the purified aspirin is expected to be lower than the melting point of crude aspirin.

Explanation:

The presence of impurities in a sample lowers the melting point of the impure substance. Hence the melting point of an impure substance is always less than the melting point of the corresponding pure substance.

Bearing this in mind, the statement "Aspirin was purified in the lab by recrystallizing the crude aspirin. The melting point of the purified aspirin is expected to be lower than the melting point of crude aspirin." is found to be false since impure substances tend to have a slightly lower melting point than the pure substance, and a broader melting temperature range.

What exactly is an explosion
yulyashka [42]
An explosion is a sudden release of enormous energy, being released all at once, particularly from a trapped container. The enormous amount of energy being released expands rapidly, more than the air can adjust around them, which makes the sound you hear and the fast light that you see is the energy being released.
