Is the continental crust less dense or more dense ?

2 answers:

It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km.

I looked this up but hope it helps!

What did Josef Loschmidt and Amedeo Avogadro Contribute to our understanding of basic molecular numbers, sizes, and reaction rat

mario62 [17]

From Avogadro we obtained a physical constant of matter which is Avogadro's number, and from both scientists we understand that elementary gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen were composed of two atoms.

<h3>What is Avogadro's number?</h3>

Avogadro's number, or Avogadro's constant, is the number of particles found in one mole of a substance.

The Avogadro's number is given as 6.02 x 10²³.

Summary of Josef Loschmidt and Amedeo Avogadro Contribution to chemistry.

Equal volumes of gas contain equal numbers of molecules,
Elementary gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen were composed of two atoms.

Thus, from Avogadro we obtained a physical constant of matter which is Avogadro's number, and from both scientists we understand that elementary gases such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen were composed of two atoms.

What is the reduction half equation of Fe(s)+ 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2(g)

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂ ( reduction )

Explanation:

Fe( s ) + 2 CH₃COOH = Fe ( OOCCH₃ ) ₂ + H₂

Fe( s ) = Fe⁺² + 2e ( oxidation )

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂ ( reduction )
