<span>Recordings of seismic waves from earthquakes led to the discovery of the earth's core and eventual maps of the layers of the Earth's inside. Just as the prism below refracts light at its faces, seismic waves bend, reflect and change speed at the boundaries between different materials below the Earth's surface.

Answer: P waves and S waves travel through the interior of the earth. P waves are the Primary waves and S waves are the Secondary waves.

    P waves can travel in both solid as well as in liquid (outer core) whereas S wave can travel only through solid. When P waves enters the outer core, it gets deviated and again enters the outer core with further deviation.

               In case of S waves, once it reaches the core-mantle boundary, it reflects to the side of it, forming a shadow zone commonly known as the S wave shadow zone (103°-103°). Thus it cannot penetrate through the outer core.

Convert 1.248×1010 g to each of the following units.
Leona [35]

Answer:

a) 1.248 x 10⁷ kg

b) 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg

c) 1.248 x 10¹³ mg

d) 1.248 x 10⁴ ton

Explanation:

a) Since 1000 g = 1 kg we can convert grams to kg by multiplyig any given quantity in grams by the conversion factor ( 1 kg / 1000 g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1.248 x 10⁷ kg

b) Since 1 Mg = 1 x 10⁶ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (  1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g) = 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg

c) Since 1 mg = 1 x 10⁻³ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g) = 1.248 x 10¹³ mg

d) Since 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1000 g = 1 kg, we can use these conversions factors: ( 1 kg / 1000 g) and (1 ton / 1000 kg):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * ( 1 kg / 1000 g) * ( 1 ton / 1000 kg) = 1.248 x 10⁴ ton

• We obtained the above 10.00-mL solution by diluting a stock solution using a 1.00-mL aliquot and placing it into a 25.00-mL vo
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) 0.0035 mole

c)  0.166 M

Explanation:

Phosphoric acid is tripotic because it has 3 acidic hydrogen atom surrounding it.

The equation of the reaction is expressed as:

H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O

1 mole         3 mole

The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b)  if 10.00 mL of a phosphoric acid solution required the addition of 17.50 mL of a 0.200 M NaOH(aq) to reach the endpoint; Then the molarity of the solution is calculated as follows

H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O

10 ml            17.50 ml

(x) M              0.200 M

Molarity = \frac{0.2*17.5}{1000}

= 0.0035 mole

c) What was the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution?

By stoichiometry, converting moles of NaOH to H₃PO₄; we have

= 0.0035 \ mole \ of NaOH* \frac{1 mole of H_3PO_4}{3 \ mole \ of \ NaOH}

= 0.00166 mole of H₃PO₄

Using the molarity equation to determine the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution; we have:

Molar Concentration =  \frac{mole \ \ of \ soulte }{ Volume \ of \ solution }

Molar Concentration = \frac{0.00166 \ mole \ of \  H_3PO_4 }{10}*1000

Molar Concentration = 0.166 M

∴  the molar concentration of phosphoric acid in the original stock solution = 0.166 M

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Adhesive forces and cohesive forces

Explanation:

Cohesive forces is how much the water molecules stick to each other and adhesive forces are to which extinct they stick to other surfaces.

When we pull the paperclip upward the water molecules adhere to it due to adhesive forces. While the water on the clip is remain connected to water in the glass because of cohesive forces.

So if the adhesive forces dominates the water will be pulled out and if the cohesive forces dominate it will remain with other water in the cup.
