Answer:

Composition

Explanation:

Earth's layers can be distinguished by both the property of both density and composition. The earth is comprised of 3 different layers whose density and composition significantly changes with depth. The density of the crust is the lowest and the density of the core is the highest. The composition and density of different layers of the earth's interior are as follows-

(1) Core- it is comprised of hot molten materials that include the alloys of Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni) and other siderophile elements. The average density of this layer is about 12.5 g/cm³.

(2) Mantle- This layer is comprised of rocks that primarily contain Silicon (Si), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe), Oxygen (O), Aluminum (Al), in association with some other minerals. The average density of this layer is 4.5 g/cm³.

(3) Crust- This is the outermost hard layer that is made up of rocks containing Oxygen (O),  Aluminum (Al), Potassium (K), Iron (Fe), Calcium (Ca), Silicon (Si), Sodium (Na) and some amount of Magnesium (Mg). The continental crust is comprised of granitic composition whereas the oceanic crust is comprised of basaltic composition. The average density of the crust is approximately 2.5 g/cm³.

Thus, both density and composition are two distinguishable properties.

Verdich [7]

The right answer is 2.

The number of protons contained in a nucleus (called an atomic number) is characteristic of a chemical element. For a given atomic number, the number of neutrons defines different "types" of this element: isotopes. The variation of the number of protons of the nucleus of an atom, during a nuclear reaction for example, causes a change of the element studied.

What volume in litres will 38gr of F2 occupy at 0.999 bar and 273 K
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

V=22.68L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we use the ideal gas equation to compute the volume as shown below:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{nRT}{P}

Nonetheless we are given mass, for that reason we must compute the moles of gaseous fluorine (molar mass: 38 g/mol) as shown below:

n=38 g *\frac{x}{y}  \frac{1mol}{38 g} =1mol

Thus, we compute the volume with the proper ideal gas constant, R:

V=\frac{1mol*0.083\frac{bar*L}{mol*K}*273K}{0.999bar} \\\\V=22.68L

Best regards.

The most common source of radiation is Radon <br><br> True or false
CaHeK987 [17]
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It comes from radioactive decay of uranium.

It is usually found in igneous rock and soil, but in some cases, well water can also be a source of radon.
