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.

When comparing the two elements K and Ge , the more metallic element is__________ based on periodic trends alone.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Option D and Option B

When comparing the two elements K and Ge , the more metallic element is_____K_____ based on periodic trends alone.

When comparing the two elements Sb and Pb , the more metallic element is_____Pb______ based on periodic

Explanation:

The metallic characteristic increases when we move down a column in a periodic table or when we move left in the row.

Potassium and Germanium are located on the same row, but germanium lies on the right side of potassium. Thus, potassium (K) is more metallic than Germanium (Ge)

While Lead (Pb) lies to left of Sb in the adjacent column and is also lies below Sb. Hence Pb is more metallic than Sb

How would having too much sample in the melting point tube most likely affect the melting point measurement? Select the correct
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

2-4 mm height of capillary tube.

Explanation:

Sample should be around 2-4 mm in height.

It should be packed well so that it does not have air packets that caues the lowering of melting point.

If you take greater amount, then there will be needed more heat, resulting a wide range of melting point.
