Answer:
The outer core of the earth is liquid.
Explanation:
Seismic waves travel through the Earth at different speeds and are reflected and refracted diffracted differently as they encounter layers of different densities.
By analyzing these waves, they have concluded that there is an inner core of solid iron surrounded by a liquid outer core consisting of nickel and iron.
A is wrong. The Earth consists of several layers
C is wrong. Seafloor spreading is caused by the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.
D is wrong. The mantle is mostly solid rock.
To squeeze a gas into a dmaller place is to compress it.
Answer:
(R)-but-3-en-2-ylbenzene
Explanation:
In this reaction, we have a very <u>strong base</u> (<em>sodium ethoxide</em>). This base, will remove a hydrogen producing a double bond. We know that the reaction occurs through an <u>E2 mechanism</u>, therefore, the hydrogen that is removed must have an <u>angle of 180º</u> with respect to the leaving group (the "OH"). This is known as the <u>anti-periplanar configuration</u>.
The hydrogen that has this configuration is the one that placed with the <u>dashed bond</u> (<em>red hydrogen</em>). In such a way, that the base will remove this hydrogen, the "OH" will leave the molecule and a double bond will be formed between the methyl and the carbon that was previously attached to the "OH", producing the molecule (R) -but-3- en-2-ylbenzene.
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
