Why do scientists need to study seismic waves to analyze the interior of the earth and the layers of the earth?

Chemistry

Geologists use these records to establish the structure of Earth's interior. The two principal types of seismic waves are P-waves (pressure; goes through liquid and solid) and S-waves (shear or secondary; goes only through solid - not through liquid).

One isotope of oxygen differs from another isotope of oxygen in *
Reptile [31]

Each isotope of Oxygen has a different number of neutrons

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Isotopes are atoms has the same number of protons but has a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Some of the isotopes of oxygen are:

\tt _8^{16}O,_8^{17}O,_8^{18}O

Each isotope has 8 protons and 8 electrons but has a different number of neutrons

For O-16: number of neutrons = 16-8 = 8

For O-17: number of neutrons = 17-8 = 9

For O-18: number of neutrons = 18-8 = 10

How many grams of sulfur are needed to react completely with 246 g of mercury to form hgs?
iren [92.7K]

The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:

Hg + S ------------- HgS

Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS

The given mass of Hg = 246 g

Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol

# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry,

# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles

Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol

Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g

39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS

Which type of relationship exists between Alaskan brown bears and salmon? A. predation B. mutualism C. competition D. commensali
aksik [14]

Answer:

A. predation.

Explanation:

Predation is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism which is known as predator feeds upon another organism thereby killing it. The organism which is killed by predator is known as prey. In such interaction one organism is benefited while another one is harmed.

Brown bears of Alaska feed upon salmon. In order to so they have developed many ways which include waiting at the bottom of falls from where salmons pass by or standing at the bottom of the falls.
