Chemistry
1 answer:

1%

Explanation:

The crust is the thinnest layer of the earth accounting for only 1% total volume of the planets.

Compositionally, the earth is divided into three layers which are the crust, mantle and the core.

  • The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It rich in silicate minerals. The rocks are classified into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
  • The mantle takes up about 84% of the total volume of the earth. It is located in between the crust and the core. It is predominantly made up of ferro-magnesian silicate minerals.
  • The cores accounts for slightly 15% of the volume of the earth. It is the center of our geoid shaped earth. It is rich in iron and nickel metals.

Where did Rutherford believe the protons were found?
Anika [276]
The only explanation, Rutherford suggested in 1911, was that the alpha particles were being scattered by a large amount of positive charge concentrated in a very small space at the center of the gold atom.

(Atomic masses used are C = 12.0 g mol–1, O = 16.0 g mol–1, H = 1.01 g mol–1, Cu = 63.5 g mol–1,)
alex41 [277]

<u>Question 1</u>

The formula mass of methanol is 12.0+3(1.01)+16.0+1.01=32.04 g/mol.

Therefore, in 5.0 grams of methanol, there are 5.0/32.04=\boxed{0.16} moles.

<u />

<u>Question 2</u>

The formula mass of copper(II) carbonate is 63.5+12.0+3(16.0)=123.5 g/mol.

This means that in 9.0 grams of copper(II) carbonate, there are 9.0/123.5=0.072874493927126 moles.

Using Avogradro's number, there are (0.072874493927126)(6.022 \times 10^{23})=\boxed{4.4 \times 10^{22}} molecules.

<u>Question 3</u>

The formula mass of cyclohexane is 12.0(6)+1.01(12)=84.12 g/mol.

So, 3.0 grams of cyclohexane is the same as 3.0/84.12=\boxed{0.036} moles.

<u>Question 4</u>

The formula mass of benzene is 12.0(6)+1.01(6)=78.06 g/mol.

This means that 4.00 moles of benzene has a mass of (78.06)(4.00)=\boxed{312} grams.

<u>Question 5</u>

1000 atoms of calcium is the same as \frac{1.000}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} moles.

This is equal to \frac{1000}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \cdot 40.078=\boxed{6.7 \times 10^{-20}} grams.

What determines crystal size in minerals formed by lava or magma?
Burka [1]

Answer:

When magma cools, crystals form because the solution is super-saturated with respect to some minerals. If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small. If the magma cools slowly, then the crystals have enough time to grow and become large.
