Answer: The earthquake will be 1000 times more intense when it is measured 8 on the Richter scale.

Explanation: Richter scale is the numerical scale which measures the intensity of earthquake with the help of seismographic oscillations.

Each level on the Richter scale is 10 times stronger than the previous one.

Richter scale measuring 8 is three levels up than the value 5 on the scale.

Hence, the earthquake having 8 on the Richter scale will be ( 10 × 10 × 10) = 1000 times more intense than the earthquake having 5 on the Richter scale.

The answer on edguinity is A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times more intense than a magnitude 5 earthquake. A magnitude 8 earthquake is 108 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while a magnitude 5 earthquake is 105 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 108 ÷ 105 = 103. Each unit increase on the Richter scale corresponds to an intensity increase by a factor of 10. So from 5 to 8 on the Richter scale, the intensity increases by 103 = 1,000.

What do Arrhenius acids have in common? What do Arrhenius bases have in common? Explain neutralization in terms of the Arrhenius
OLEGan [10]

Besides producing hydrogen ions in water, all Arrhenius acids have a few things in common. They have pH values anywhere from 0 up to 7, they taste and smell sour and they will turn pH paper pink, red, or orange.

<h3>What Arrhenius acids?</h3>

A substance that raises the concentration of H+ ions in an aqueous solution is known as an Arrhenius acid. Traditional Arrhenius acids are highly polarized covalent substances that dissociate in water to form an anion (A-) and the cation H+.

Aqueous Arrhenius acids have distinguishing characteristics that serve as a useful definition of an acid. Acids can turn blue litmus red, produce aqueous solutions with a sour taste, and react with bases and some metals (like calcium) to generate salts. The Latin word acidus/acre, which means "sour," is where the word acid originates.

Although the precise definition solely refers to the solute, the term "acid" is sometimes used to refer to an aqueous solution of an acid that has a pH lower than 8.

Why is a crystal of Strontium chloride described as an extended structure?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chloride is described as an extended structure because its atoms are arranged following an endless repeating pattern and are of distinct ratio

Crystals and polymers mostly form extended structures as seen in the formation of sodium chloride whereby the ions in the compound are arranged following a repeating pattern. ( i.e. has a giant ionic structure ).

Chloride is a considered an extended structure because in sodium chloride it forms an unending repeated pattern of ions which makes it a perfect example of an extended structure.

Hence we can conclude that Chloride can be described as an extended structure because its atoms are arranged following a repeating pattern and are of distinct ratio.
