Answer:

::Due to the iron inside the earth.

Explanation:

Imagine a sphere of Iron, as big as two-third the size of the moon and as hot as 5700 Kelvin. That is the Earth’s core.

The iron core isn't in its liquid form even at that temperature because it is crushed under immense gravity. This core is surrounded by 2000 km of other metals like iron and nickel which are in their molten state.

The temperature is not the same at every point in this molten layer. The hotter and less dense matter rises up, and the warm denser matter sinks. This causes convectional currents in the interior of the Earth.

Because of the Earth’s spin, there is a force that established called the Coriolis force which causes swirling whirlpools here too.

This flow of molten metals produces electric currents which generate self-sustaining magnetic fields. And as a result of the Coriolis force, all these combined effects add up to produce one big magnetic field engulfing the Earth aligned in one direction.

laiz [17]

A uniform cube is subjected to volume expansion. Each side gets decreased by 1%, then the bulk strain is 0.03.

<h3>What is Volume?</h3>

Volume is the space occupied by a three-dimensional object.

<h3 />

Given that, the side cube is l, then

volume V = l³

$\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{3D1}{1}$

For change in volume

% Change in volume = 3× % change in length

= 3 × 1%

Hence, bulk strain = 0.03.

Thus, the bulk strain is 0.03.

Three isotopes of silicon have mass numbers of 28,29, and 30 with an average atomic mass of 28.086 what does this say about the

Sedbober [7]

Answer is: silicon isotope with mass number 28 has highest relative abundance, this isotope is the most common of these three isotopes.

Ar₁(Si) = 28; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁸Si.

Ar₂(Si) =29; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁹Si.

Ar₃(Si) =30; the average atomic mass of isotope ³⁰Si.

Silicon (Si) is composed of three stable isotopes, ₂₈Si (92.23%), ₂₉Si (4.67%) and ₃₀Si (3.10%).

ω₁(Si) = 92.23%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁸Si.

ω₂(Si) = 4.67%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁹Si.

ω₃(Si) = 3.10%; mass percentage of isotope ³⁰Si.

Ar(Si) = 28.086 amu; average atomic mass of silicon.

Ar(Si) = Ar₁(Si) · ω₁(B) + Ar₂(Si) · ω₂(Si) + Ar₃(Si) · ω₃(Si).

28,086 = 28 · 0.9223 + 29 · 0.0467 + 30 · 0.031.

What do the brackets in chemical equations mean?

Alex777 [14]

The bracket just separate an atom or the ion and in the above it means there are two hydroxide molecules
so bracket function is just to separate ions and molecules

Suppose you wanted to dissolve 40.0 g NaOH in enough H2O to make 6.00 dm3 of solution

dezoksy [38]

Molarity of solution = 1.6 M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

40 g NaOH

6 L solution

Required

Steps to solve the problem of molarity

Solution

No additional information about the question.

If you want to make the solution above, then we just need to put the existing NaOH (40 g) into 6 L of water, then do the stirring (in a warm temperature above the hot plate will speed up the NaOH dissolving process)

But if you want to know the molarity of a solution, then
