How did scientist discover that earths outer core is liquid

1 answer:

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.

Which of the following best describes the difference in bonding between two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is wrong because H can use only its 1s orbital for bonding.

3. is wrong because C must share electrons to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is wrong because C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is wrong because H must share electrons to form an H-H bond.

PLS HELP Students in a chemistry class added 5 g of Zinc (Zn) to 50 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). A chemical reaction occurred t

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.

Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..

Explanation: Reaction should be Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2

Amount of zinc is 5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount

of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.

Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.

So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass

is 0.154 g. Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =

10.42 g

if you are told to get 100 mL of stock solution to use to prepare smaller size sample for an experiment, which piece of glasswar

fgiga [73]

Answer:

A beaker

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically, I would use a 250 mL graduated beaker.

A beaker is appropriate to measure 100 mL of stock solution, because it's easy to pour into itscwide mouth from a large stock bottle.

You don't need precisely 100 mL solution.

If the beaker is graduated, you can easily measure 100 mL of the stock solution.

Even if it isn't graduated, 100 mL is just under half the volume of the beaker, and that should be good enough for your purposes (you will be using more precise measuring tools during the experiment).
