Answer:

The amount of water on the Earth is constant, or nearly so. Actually, the amount is increasing ever so slightly due to volcanic eruptions expelling water vapor into the atmosphere, but, for all practical purposes, the amount of water (as a gas, liquid and as snow and ice) can be considered to be constant.

Good evening! Does anyone know this? Earth Science

The fraction of Earth's radius (6371 km) relative to the thickness of the oceanic (7.5 km) and continental crust (35 km) is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.    

What we know:

  • The average radius of Earth (E) = 6371 km
  • The average thickness of oceanic crust (O) = 7.5 km
  • The average thickness of continental crust (C) = 35 km

We need to convert all the above units from kilometers to miles:

E = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*6371 km = 3958.9 mi

O = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*7.5 km = 4.7 mi

C = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*35 km = 21.7 mi

Now, we can calculate the fraction of Earth's radius relative to each type of crust, with the given equation:

X = \frac{avg. \: thickness}{avg. \: radius} \times 100

  • <u>For the oceanic crust (O)</u>:

X = \frac{4.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.12

  • <u>For the continental crust (C)</u>:

X = \frac{21.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.55

Therefore, the fraction of Earth's radius relative to the oceanic and continental crust is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.

When sodium is put in water, the metal floats on the surface and reacts to form sodium
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: Sodium also floats on the surface, but enough heat is given off to melt the sodium (sodium has a lower melting point than lithium and the reaction produces heat faster) and it melts almost at once to form a small silvery ball that dashes around the surface.

A chemistry student needs 50.0 g of methyl acetate for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, t
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

As density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume.

Mathematically,         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

It is given that mass is 50 g and density is 0.934 g/cm^{3}.

Hence, calculate the volume of methyl acetate as follows.

                     Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

             0.934 g/cm^{3} = \frac{50 g}{volume}

                       Volume = 53.53 cm^{3}

or,                                  = 53.53 ml                (as 1 cm^{3} = 1 mL)

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of methyl acetate the student should pour out is 53.53 ml.
