Earth's internal heat budget is fundamental to the thermal history of the Earth. The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at {\displaystyle 47\pm 2} terawatts (TW)[1] and comes from two main sources in roughly equal amounts: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust, and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.[2]

Earth's internal heat powers most geological processes[3] and drives plate tectonics.[2]Despite its geological significance, this heat energy coming from Earth's interior is actually only 0.03% of Earth's total energy budget at the surface, which is dominated by 173,000 TW of incoming solar radiation.[4] The insolation that eventually, after reflection, reaches the surface penetrates only several tens of centimeters on the daily cycle and only several tens of meters on the annual cycle. This renders solar radiation minimally relevant for internal processes.[

Which mixture can be separated based on differences in the particle size of the components?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: Mixtures you can separate are like cereal and milk. Hope that helps

Explanation:  Filteration is required to separate a mixture.

So heterogeneous mixures (that contain substances with different particle sizes)  can be separated with a filter.  

Homogeneous mixtures are uniform in composition so they will not be able to be separated.

Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M HCN solution that is 0.0070% ionized.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

D) 5.15

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the equation for the dissociation of HCN

HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate [H⁺] at equilibrium

The percent of ionization (α%) is equal to the concentration of one ion at the equilibrium divided by the initial concentration of the acid times 100%.

α% = [H⁺]eq / [HCN]₀ × 100%

[H⁺]eq = α%/100% × [HCN]₀

[H⁺]eq = 0.0070%/100% × 0.10 M

[H⁺]eq = 7.0 × 10⁻⁶ M

Step 3: Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 7.0 × 10⁻⁶ = 5.15

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. electrons and protons.

Explanation:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal number of protons and electrons in the atom.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within the atom.

  When the number of protons and electrons are the same or equal, the atom is neutral.

But when there is an imbalance, an ion results.
