The fraction of Earth's radius (6371 km) relative to the thickness of the oceanic (7.5 km) and continental crust (35 km) is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.    

What we know:

  • The average radius of Earth (E) = 6371 km
  • The average thickness of oceanic crust (O) = 7.5 km
  • The average thickness of continental crust (C) = 35 km

We need to convert all the above units from kilometers to miles:

E = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*6371 km = 3958.9 mi

O = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*7.5 km = 4.7 mi

C = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*35 km = 21.7 mi

Now, we can calculate the fraction of Earth's radius relative to each type of crust, with the given equation:

X = \frac{avg. \: thickness}{avg. \: radius} \times 100

  • <u>For the oceanic crust (O)</u>:

X = \frac{4.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.12

  • <u>For the continental crust (C)</u>:

X = \frac{21.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.55

Therefore, the fraction of Earth's radius relative to the oceanic and continental crust is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.

How does insect damage to crops in Kenya compare to insect damage to crops in North America
Dahasolnce [82]
Hello
<span>
Both America and Kenya have a high level of possible crop damage by insects. America is able to afford insecticides and the research to go with it, to control the pests. In Kenya farmers rotate their crops as much as possible (not always possible) and this helps in reducing the risk of pests. Also Kenyan farmers often grow rice in adjacent fields with sweet potatoes; this has reduced the weevil infestation level in sweet potatoes. The same technique can be used using sweet potato, intercropped with millet and sesame.

2. A gas occupies 320. ml at a pressure of 420.5 mmHg. Determine the volume if the pressure is decreased to 300. mmHg.
arsen [322]

Explanation:

v1 p1 = v2 p2

v2 = v1p1/p2

v2= 320×420.5/300

v2=449ml

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.

Use the half-reaction method to balance the equation for the conversion of ethanol to acetic acid in acid solution:CH₃CH₂OH + Cr
garik1379 [7]

Balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The chemical equation

CH₃CH₂OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ → CH₃COOH + Cr³⁺

First assign the oxidation number for each atom in the equation.

\overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{-1}{C} \overset{+1}{H_2} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+6}{Cr_2} \overset{-2}{O_7} + \overset{+1}{H} \rightarrow \overset{+3}{C}\overset{+1}{H_3} \overset{+3}{C}\overset{-2}{O} \overset{-2}{O} \overset{+1}{H} + \overset{+3}{Cr}

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻  → 2Cr⁺³

Now, balance the charge

Oxidation: C₂H₆O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³

Now balance the oxygen atoms

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O

Now, make electron gain equivalent to lost

Oxidation: C₂H₆O + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂ + 4e⁻ + 4H⁺ }  × 3

Reduction: Cr₂O₇ + 6e⁻ + 14H⁺ → 2Cr⁺³ + 7H₂O } × 2

Now,

Oxidation: 3C₂H₆O + 3H₂O → 3C₂H₄O₂ + 12e⁻ + 12H⁺

Reduction: 2Cr₂O₇ + 12e⁻ + 28H⁺ → 4Cr⁺³ + 14H₂O

Now, add the both equations

3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that the balanced chemical equation is 3CH₃CH₂OH + 2Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 16H⁺ → 3CH₃COOH + 4Cr³⁺ + 11H₂O.
