What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earths interior cool down

Chemistry
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago
4 0

If the earth’s interior cools down then the convection currents will not be produced in the mantle and geologically leads to dead earth.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Convection currents is the process by which the heated fluids will be made to float on the surface while the cooler fluids will get precipitated in the mantle. The high amount of heat in the earth's crust leads to transfer of them as magma on the surface of the mantle and then it will lose its energy and precipitate as tectonic plates.

So, convection currents leads to the movement and production of new tectonic plates. If the earth's interior gets cooled down, then the creation of convection currents will cease leading to a geologically dead earth.

The pH of a 0.65M solution of hydrofluoric acid HF is measured to be 1.68. Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of hydrof
sergey [27]

Answer:

Kₐ = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴

Explanation:

First lets write the equilibrium expression, Ka , for the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid:

HF + H₂O     ⇄   H₃O⁺ +   F⁻

Kₐ = [ H₃O⁺ ] [ F⁻ ] /[ [ HF ]

Since we are given the pH we can calculate the  [ H₃O⁺ ]  ( pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] , and because the acid dissociates into a 1: 1  relation , we will also have [F⁻ ]. The  [ HF ] is given in the question so we have all the information that is needed to  compute Kₐ.

pH = -log [ H₃O⁺ ]

1.68 = - log [ H₃O⁺ ]

Taking antilog to both sides of this equation:

10^-1.68 = [ H₃O⁺ ] ⇒ 2.1 X 10⁻²  M= [ H₃O⁺ ]

[ F⁻ ] = 2.1 X 10⁻² M

Solving for Kₐ :

Kₐ = ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) x  ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) / 0.65 = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴  

(Rounded to two significant figures, the powers of 10 have infinite precision )

A ------------ ----------------- is the dying out of a large number of species on a global scale
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Extinction event or sometimes known as Mass extinction

Explanation:

These events typically are typically widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity (which takes into account spread and existence of current species). The worst mass extinction was Permian–Triassic extinction where over 90% of species of organisms vanished.

You weigh a 24K gold chain and find that it weighs 400 grams. Determine home many moles of gold atoms you have
makkiz [27]

Answer:

                     2.03 moles of Gold

Explanation:

                     Gold is one of the most precious metal metal used in many applications and mainly as a jewellery. In terms of purity it is categorized in Karats. 24 Karat is considered the purest Gold (i.e. 100 % Gold) while other Karats (14, 18, 22 e.t.c) are alloys with other metals and gyms.

Data Given:

                 Mass of Gold  =  400 g

                 A.Mass of Gold  =  196.97 g.mol⁻¹

Calculate Moles of Gold as,

                              Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                              Moles  =  400 g ÷ 196.97 g.mol⁻¹

                              Moles  =  2.03 moles of Gold

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

=3,723.3 J=3.72  but if it has the option of -3.72 kJ then use that

Explanation:

Use the formula q=m×Cp×delta T

m=1.500 kg=1,500 g

Co=2.52 J/g·k

delta T=0.985k

q=(1,500g)(2.52 J/g·k)(0.985k)
