In a model of Earth's layers that is determined by physical properties, how might the atmosphere be classified? Would it be part of the lithosphere or a seperate layer?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Generally, the Earth is divided into spheres which include the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air). The earth is divided into three layers based on chemical composition and these are the core, mantle and crust. In addition, the earth is also divided into physical properties which include lithosphere, athenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core. Based on the given details, we can conclude that the atmosphere cannot be part of the lithosphere but instead, it is classified in a separate layer. The lithosphere only consists the outermost, rigid part of the Earth, which are the crust and the mantle. Hope this answer helps.

A melting element at room temperature consist of francium.

~Evie

Francium is an element that melts at room temperature. Francium is a highly reactive element, and only contains one valence electron, which is very ironic in my opinion. 

11.5 grams of sodium metal are placed in a container with excess chlorine gas. Once the reaction is complete, 29.0 grams of sodium chloride are measured. What mass, in grams, of chlorine gas reacted?

Answers

Answer:

  • 17.6 g of chlorine gas reacted.

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation:

  • 2Na + Cl₂ (g) → 2NaCl (s)

2) Mole ratios:

  • 2 mol Na : 1 mol Cl₂ : 2 mol NaCl

3) Number of moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) measured (produced):

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

  • Number of moles of NaCl = 29.0 g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.496 mol

4) Number of moles of chlorine gas (Cl₂) reacted:

  • From the stoichiometric mole ratios:

       1 mol Cl₂ / 2 mol NaCl = x / 0.496 mol NaCl

       x = 0.496 mol NaCl / 1 mol Cl₂ / 2 mol NaCl = 0.248 mol Cl₂.

5) Convert 0.248 mol Cl₂ into mass in grams:

  • mass in grams = molar mass × number of moles
  • molar mass of Cl₂ = 70.9 g/mol
  • mass in grams = 70.9 g/mol × 0.248 mol = 17.6 g ← answer

Why would it be difficult to date an item that was only 12 years old using carbon dating?

Answers

Because it is simply to young to use carbon dating, carbon dating is only used for things thousands to millions of years old.
Some people can get confused with carbon dating. Most people think it is used to show the age of a fossil or a rock. The rocks and fossils are called "inorganic matter" it is called that because it is not a living thing if it was a living thing then it would be called "organic matter". Carbon dating is usually only useful for organic matter that is less than 3-5,000 years old.I'm not sure if this helped but I hope you get the answer.
