Answer:

Direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves may account for why scientists have two ways of thinking about earth's layers

Explanation:

Scientists who study about the earth's structure and components called geologists have two main types of evidence to learn about Earth's interior namely

1. direct evidence from rock samples

2. indirect evidence from seismic waves

Direct evidence From Rock Samples

Scientists examine rocks from inside the Earth and these rocks give them clues about Earth’s structure. Some scientists have drilled holes as much as 12 kilometers into Earth and bring up samples of rock. From these samples, they can make inferences about conditions deep inside Earth, where these rocks formed. In addition, forces inside Earth sometimes blast rock to the surface from depths of more than 100 kilometers. These rocks from deep within the Earth provide more information about the interior.

Indirect evidence From Seismic Waves

Since scientist cannot look inside Earth, they have devised an indirect methods of observation by using seismic waves. When earthquakes occur, they produce seismic waves. Scientists record the seismic waves and study how they travel through Earth. The speed of seismic waves and the paths they take reveal the structure of the planet. Using data from seismic waves, scientists have learned that Earth’s interior is made up of several layers with each layer surrounding the layers beneath it.

Assuming that an acetic acid solution is 12% by mass and that the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL, what volume of 1 M NaOH
Doss [256]

Explanation:

Let us assume that total mass of the solution is 100 g. And, as it is given that acetic acid solution is 12% by mass which means that mass of acetic acid is 12 g and 88 g is the water.

Now, calculate the number of moles of acetic acid as its molar mass is 60 g/mol.

    No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                           = \frac{12 g}{60 g/mol}

                           = 0.2 mol

Molarity of acetic acid is calculated as follows.

              Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                 1 g/ml = \frac{100 g}{volume}

                    volume = 100 ml

Hence, molarity = \frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}

                           = \frac{0.2 mol}{0.1 L}

                           = 2 mol/l

As reaction equation for the given reaction is as follows.

     NaOH + CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O

So,          moles of NaOH = moles of acetic acid

Let us suppose that moles of NaOH are "x".

          x \times 1 M = 10 mL \times 2 M     (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

                        x = 20 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume of NaOH required is 20 ml.
