Answer:

The outer core is the only layer that is liquid. It is also mainly made from nickel and iron. The main job of the outer core is that it's responsible for the Earth's magnetic field. As the earth spins, the liquid inside this layer spins aswell, keeping it balanced.

The major difference between a 1s orbital and a 2s orbital is that
Neko [114]

Answer:

The 2s orbital is at a higher energy level.

Explanation:

1s and 2s are the sub-orbitals that are located in an atom. They are nearest to the nucleus and are found on the s sub-orbital. The difference between 1s and 2s is the difference in their level of energy. 1s has low energy as compared to 2s. 1s orbital has the lowest energy because it is located closed to the nucleus. 2s orbital has higher energy than 1s because it's orbit is larger than 1s.

Consider the combustion of octane (C8H18)
sesenic [268]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ --->  16CO₂  + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
 mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g

mamaluj [8]
Lies just beyond the continental slope is the open ocean zone and it has three subzones namely the epipelagic(sunlit zone), mesopelagic(disphotic zone) and bathypelagic zones(aphotic zone). The oceanic zone covers 65% of the ocean's water and where different types of terrains can be found. From deep trenches, deep sea volcanoes and basins. A variety of sea creatures can also be found on each subzone.
