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.

You can see another example of calculation of fractions of Earth's radius here: brainly.com/question/4675868?referrer=searchResults

I hope it helps you!

What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the bond between c2 and o in acetaldehyde, ch3cho?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Acetaldehyde is an organic compound (a compound containing C atoms) composed of a carbonyl group. On the other hand, a carbonyl group is a functional group containing C = O. The hybrid orbitals of a compound determines the number pi and s orbitals in the electronic configuration. For a single bond, there are two s orbitals. For double bonds, on the other hand, the number of s orbital bond is 1 while the number of pi bonds is 2. For triple bonds, there are three pi bonds present in the cloud.

Thus for a c = O bond, the atomic orbital configuration is sp3 containing 1 s orbital and 2 pi bonds.

. Why do you use a pencil and not a pen to mark TLC plates?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Pencil is always used to mark chromatography paper or TLC plates because ink may run and interfere with the chromatogram. ... As soon as the paper/plate is taken out, mark the solvent front with a pencil before the solvent evaporates and the front becomes impossible to see.
