How did scientist discover that earths outer core is liquid

Chemistry

weqwewe [10]3 years ago
7 0

The two observation made them came to the conclusion that earth's outer core is liquid is, 'Shear waves' one of energy waves do not travel through the outer layer and the magnetic field found in earth's surface

Explanation:

  • Shear waves are nothing but caused by shear force, it forms as a result of earthquakes.
  • Shear force is defined as the force you need to rub two solid objects.
  • Scientist found that shear waves disappear when it reaches the outer core of the earth and re-appears when it reaches the inner core of the earth.
  • As we all know, earth has a magnetic field which reaches the atmosphere, for this either there should be a permanent magnet inside the core of the earth or ionized molecules flow in the liquid.
  • Earth cannot have a permanent magnet in the core because of the high temperature at the core hence, the other option is feasible.

mojhsa [17]
Once the torch is lit, the acetylene flow must be increased until the flame stops smoking <span>before the oxygen is turned on for adjustment in order to keep the tip of the torch cool.

You should also note that while lighting the torch, you should keep the spark lighter near the tip but not covering it.</span>

How many moles of sodium carbonate contain 1.773 × 1017 carbon atoms?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

  • 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Explanation:

1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>

2) Ratio of carbon atoms:

  • The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).

Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.

This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.

3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms

  • Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol

  • number C moles  = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)

  • number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol

Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.
