Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Answer:

To measure the magnitude of an earthquake, the American scientist Charles Richter developed a scale in 1935. Known as the <u>Richter scale</u>, it assigns a number based on the height of the waves on a seismogram (the visual output of a seismograph). Seismographs measure ground motion, including the energy released by an earthquake.

Milk containing 3.7% fat and 12.8% total solids is to be evaporated to produce a product containing 7.9% fat. What is the yield

ratelena [41]

Answer:

the yield of product is YP=46.835 % and the concentration of solids is

Cs = 27.33%

Explanation:

Assuming that all the solids and fats remains in the milk after the evaporation, then the mass of product mP will be

Mass of fat in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.037 = mP* 0.079

mP = 100 kg* 0.037/0.079 = 46.835 kg

then the yield YP of the product is

YP= mP / 100 kg = 46.835 kg / 100 kg = 46.835 %

YP= 46.835 %

the concentration of solids Cs is

Mass of solids in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.128 = 46.835 kg * Cs

Cs = 100 kg* 0.128 / 46.835 kg = 0.2733 = 27.33%

Cs = 27.33%
