Is the temperature and density of Earth's crust high or low? Why?

Physics

Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.  The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth!  The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

Calculate the standard electrode potential difference (e°) of the daniell cell (at 1 bar) if temperature is 473.15 k.
anzhelika [568]
Missing data in the text of the exercise: The molar concentration of Zinc is 10 times the molar concentration of copper.

Solution:

1) First of all, let's calculate the standard electrode potential difference at standard temperature. This is given by:
E^0=E_{cat}^0-E_{an}^0
where E_{cat}^0 is the standard potential at the cathode, while E_{an}^0 is the standard potential at the anode. For a Daniel Cell, at the cathode we have copper: E_{Cu}^0=+0.34 V, while at the anode we have zinc: E_{Zn}^0=-0.76 V. Therefore, at standard temperature the electrode potential difference of the Daniel Cell is
E^0=+0.34 V-(-0.76 V)=+1.1 V

2) To calculate E^0 at any temperature T, we should use Nerst equation:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln  \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}
where 
R=8.31 J/(K mol)
T=473.15 K is the temperature in our problem
z=2 is the number of electrons transferred in the cell's reaction
F=9.65\cdot 10^4 C/mol is the Faraday's constant
[Zn] and [Cu] are the molar concentrations of zinc and in copper, and in our problem we have [Zn]=10[Cu].
Using all these data inside the equation, and using E^0=+1.1 V, in the end we find:
E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}=+1.053 V

What is force of gravity​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth's surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 metres (32 feet) per second per second.

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic
Vesna [10]

Answer:

(c) The current in each resistor is the same.

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(c) The current in each resistor is the same. --> TRUE.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.
