What is the state of the mantle

Chemistry
1 answer:
damaskus [11]4 years ago
5 0
The mantle is mostly rich in iron and magnesium oxides and silicates. The mantle is usually divided into the Upper and Lower mantle separated by a transition zone that is smaller than the one that exists between the Inner and Outer core.

Some key things to remember when discussing states of Earth's structure are:
1. Temperatures are highest at depth and increase as you go towards the surface
2. Materials are thicker at depth, with high viscosity, due to increased pressure

Therefore, rocks in the lower mantle are at a high enough temperature that they become soft and are able to flow slowly.

In naming the compound PCl5, the prefix used with the second element is ____________________.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Hepta}}

Explanation:

We are given the formula:

PCl_5

This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.

1. Name the first element

The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.

  • Phosphorous

2. Second element

The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.

  • Phosphorous heptachlorine

Add the ending of -ide.

  • Phosphorous heptachloride

The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.

List the spectator ions in the following reaction.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Spectator ions:

Spectator ions are those ions which are same on both side of chemical reaction. These ions are same in the reactant side and product side. Their presence can not effect the chemical equilibrium that's why when we write the net ionic equation these ions are neglect or omitted.

Given ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s) + + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

In given ionic equation by omitting the spectator ions i.e, 2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq)  net ionic equation can be written as,

Net ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s)

In preparing your soap, you dissolved 12.5 g of sodium hydroxide in 32.0 mL of de-ionized water. Your product was a solid cake o
Aleksandr [31]

Explanation:

The generated Na+ and OH-ions are immediately surrounded by molecules of water (typically 6, each). There is the development of the exothermic hydration sphere for each ion. It seems as though there is negative overall energy of dissolving solid NaOH.

Now, since this dissolution is exothermic the temperature of the mixture rises.
