Which statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers? Earth’s mantle is thinner than its oceanic crust. Earth’s

Harman [31]

“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.

So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.

Which of the following is a sign a chemical reaction has occurred? A liquid changes to a solid when cooled. A liquid forms bubbl

3241004551 [841]

The best answer is, “Two clear liquids combine and turn cloudy.”

When water freezes form a liquid to a solid. That’s a physical change.

When water boils, it forms bubbles. That’s a physical change.

When you mix ethanol and water, they form a clear solution. That’s a physical change.

Answer:

CH₃CH(CH₃)CH(C₃H₇)CH₂CH(CH₃)₂:

4-isopropyl-2-methylpentane.

Explanation:

Step One: Draw the structure formula of this compound. Parentheses in the formula indicate substitute groups that are connected to the carbon atom to the left.

For example, the first (CH₃) indicates that the second carbon atom from the left is connected to:

the CH₃- on the left-hand side,
the -CH(C₃H₇)CH₂CH(CH₃)₂ on the right-hand side,
a hydrogen atom, and
an additional CH₃- group that replaced one hydrogen atom.

Each carbon atom in this compound is connected to four other atoms. All bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds.

The C₃H₇ in the second pair of parentheses is the condensed form of CH₃CH₂CH₂-. See the first sketch attached. Groups in parentheses are highlighted.

Step Two: Find the carbon backbone. The backbone of a hydrocarbon is the longest chain of carbon atoms that runs through the compound. See the second sketch attached. The backbone of this compound consists of seven carbon atoms and is highlighted in green. The name for this backbone shall be heptane.

Step Three: Identify and name the substitute groups.

The two substitute groups are circled in blue in the second sketch.

The one on the right -CH₃ is a methyl group.
The one on the left is branched. $\begin{aligned}\text{CH}_3-&\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3\\[-0.5em]&\;|\end{aligned}$ This group can be formed by removing one hydrogen from the central carbon atom in propane. The name for this group is isopropyl.

Step Four: Number the atoms.

Isopropyl shall be placed before methyl. Start from the right end to minimize the index number on all substitute groups. The methyl group is on carbon number two and the isopropyl group on carbon number four. Hence the name:

4-isopropyl-2-methylheptane.

You should know the location of safety equipment

s2008m [1.1K]

I would say you should use or test it once a week to ensure it is working properly in an active laboratory since it is a workplace with significant chemical hazards so it would give peace of mind to know on a quite regular basis that it can be relied on in case of an emergency like an eye flush for example.
