What are the problems with studying the structure of the earth?

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.

How is the number 3.91 x 10-4 expressed in regular numbers?
Semenov [28]

To convert a number without the use of the expression 10^-4 you would have to treat it like an integer line for instance on an integer line the negative is to the left and the positive number is to the right so 3.91*10^-4 means that the decimal would have to move 4 places to the left so the answer would be .000391 instead of 3.91*10^-4.


I hope this helps you :)

Hunter-Best [27]
5.2/ 24.3 = 0.214
0.214 x 2 = 0.428
0.428 x 36.5= 15.6g

Will the volume of a 1.0 L sample of gas at STP change if the pressure and temperature are both doubled
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The volume will not change.  This belongs in Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Explanation:

The combined gas law can be used to model both the initial (1) and ending (2) states of a gas when pressure (P), temperature (T) and/or volume (V) change, but the number of moles does not.  Remember that temperature must always be in Kelvin.

P1V1/T1 = P2T2/T2

Rearranging for V2:

V2 = V1(T2/T1)(P1/P2)

I've arranged the pressure and temperature terms as ratios.  This makes it easier to see what impact changes will have, plus the units conveniently cancel for both.

(V2) = (1 L)(T2/T1)(P1/P2)

We are told that P2 and T2 are both doubled:

   (T2/T1) = 2

   (P1/P2) = 1/2

V2 = (1 L)(T2/T1)(P1/P2)

V2 = (1 L)(2)(1/2)

V2 = (1 L)(2)(1/2)

V2 - 1 L

The volume does not change.  Bummer.
