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!

An ideal diatomic gas at 80 k is slowly compressed adiabatically and reversibly to half its volume. what is its final temperatur
Yanka [14]

An ideal diatomic gas at 80 k is slowly compressed adiabatically and reversibly to half its volume. The final temperature is 104.8k

<h3>Calculation of final temperature </h3>

The formula used for compression is:-

TV^(γ-1)=C

where;

T= temperature=80k

V=volume(given volume is half of its original volume i.e v/2)

γ=CP/CV= ( 7.R/2)/(5R/2)=7/5

C= constant

using  the given  values in the formula;

80 x V^[(7/5)-1]=T(final) (V/2)^[(7/5)-1]

80=T(final) x (V/V2)^(2/5)

80=T(final)  x (1/2)^(2/5)

T(final)= 80 x  (2)^2/5

T(final)= 80 x 1.31

final temperature  =104.8k

55.2 mL of 0.500 M potassium hydroxide is used to neutralize 27.4 mL of sulfuric
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

0.504 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization reaction

2 KOH + H₂SO₄ ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of KOH

55.2 mL (0.0552 L) of 0.500 M KOH react. The reacting moles of KOH are:

0.0552 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0276 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂SO₄ that reacted with 0.0276 moles of KOH

The molar ratio of KOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1. The reacting moles of H₂SO₄ are 1/2 × 0.0276 mol = 0.0138 mol

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of H₂SO₄

0.0138 moles of H₂SO₄ are in 27.4 mL (0.0274 L). The molarity of H₂SO₄ is:

[H₂SO₄] = 0.0138 mol/0.0274 L = 0.504 M
