Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is the upper part of the mantle and this region is just below the lithosphere. The lithospheric plates are divided into 2 types, namely the continental crust and the oceanic crust. These plates moves over this layer of asthenosphere due to the generation of the convection current in the mantle. This currents also forces the asthenosphere to move considerably at a slower rate. This convection current is formed due to the heat radiated from the core (interior) of the earth. The core of the earth is comprised of the denser and molten rocks such as iron and nickel. The rocks in the asthenosphere are solid in nature, but they have the ability to move during deformation.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

How many molecules are in 41.8 g of sulfuric acid
Anton [14]

Answer

× 10²³ molecules are in 41.8 g of sulfuric acid

Explanation

The first step is to convert 41.8 g of sulfuric acid to moles by dividing the mass of sulfuric acid by its molar mass.

Molar mass of sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄ = 98.079 g/mol

Mole=\frac{Mass}{Molar\text{ }mass}=\frac{41.8\text{ }g}{98.079\text{ }g\text{/}mol}=0.426187053\text{ }mol

Finally, convert the moles of sulfuric acid to molecules using Avogadro's number.

Conversion factor: 1 mole of any substance = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 0.426187053 moles of sulfuric acid is equal

\frac{0.426187053\text{ }mol}{1\text{ }mol}\times6.022×10²³\text{ }molecules=2.57\times10^{23}\text{ }molecules

Thus, 2.57 × 10²³ molecules are in 41.8 g of sulfuric acid.

Define atomic numberand mass number. Which can vary without changing the identity of the element?
Volgvan

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of an element which represents total number of protons.

When an atom is neutral then it means it contains same number of protons and electrons.

On the other hand, atomic mass is defined as the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Protons of every element remains fixed because it shows the identity of each element but if we change the number of neutrons then also identity of the atom will remain fixed. This is because changing the number of neutrons will not show any change in number of protons.

For example, ^{2}_{1}H and ^{3}_{1}H are isotopes of hydrogen and they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Thus, we can conclude that number of neutrons can vary without changing the identity of the element.

This diagram shows a marble with a mass of 3.8 grams (g) that was placed into 10 milliliters (mL) of water.
ryzh [129]

Complete Question:

This diagram shows a marble with a mass of 3.8 grams (g) that was placed into 10 milliliters (mL) of water. Using the formula V M D = , what is the density of the marble?

(See attachment for full diagram)

Answer:

1.27 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, find the volume of rock:

Volume of rock = volume of water after rock was placed - volume of water before rock was placed

Volume of rock = 13 - 10 = 3ml

Density of rock = grams of rock per 1 cm³

Note: 1 ml = 1 cm³

Let x represent amount of rock per 1 cm³

Thus,

3.8g = 3 cm³

x = 1 cm³

Cross multiply

1*3.8 = 3*x

3.8 = 3x

3.8/3 = 3x/3

1.27 = x

Density of rock = 1.27 g/cm³
