Much of the thermal energy within the Earth comes from atoms that decay. What is another major source of thermal energy within the
Earth?
A. gravitational energy left over from the formation of the Earth
B. thermal energy from the decay of dead plants and animals
c. thermal energy trapped by clouds and water vapor in the atmosphere
D. thermal energy absorbed by the Sun at the Earth's crust

Answers

Answer 1

Geothermal energy is heat produced by the Earth itself. It is a resource that may be gathered for human use and is renewable.

The correct option is (D) Thermal energy absorbed by the Sun at the Earth's crust

The friction and gravitational attraction that were produced when Earth was formed more than 4 billion years ago provide a modest amount of the core's heat. The continual production of heat on Earth, however, is mostly caused by the decay of radioactive isotopes like potassium-40 and thorium-232. From the surface to the core, the temperature of Earth increases with depth. The geothermal gradient is the term used to describe this progressive temperature variation. Rock that has partially melted is known as magma, which is gas- and bubble-filled. The lower crust and mantle both contain magma, which occasionally bubbles to the surface as lava.Nearby rocks and subsurface aquifers are heated by magma. Geysers, hot springs, steam vents, undersea hydrothermal vents, and mud pots are among ways that hot water can be emitted.They are all powered by geothermal energy. Their heat may be captured and used directly for heating, or their steam can be used to generate electricity.

A. The Mass of hydrogen is the sum of the masses of the protons and electrons in the atom
B. Hydrogen has more than one isotope
C. Hydrogen only exists as a diatomic molecule
D. The Mass of a proton is not exactly equal to 1 amu​

Answers

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its c

Explanation:

The atomic mass of hydrogen, which is 1.008 amu, is not a whole number because hydrogen has more than one isotope.

The atomic mass of an element is got from the sum of the proton and neutron in its atom.

However, the atoms of some element exists in more than one isotope. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with same atomic number but different atomic masses.

The different atomic masses arise from the difference in the number of neutrons of each isotope. Hydrogen has more than one isotope.

The atomic mass of an element with more than one isotope is the weighted average of the mass numbers of the different isotopes of that element, hence, the resulting value cannot be a whole number.

what is the frequency if the wave has a wavelength of 670 nm

Answers

The frequency : f = 4.478 x 10¹⁴ /s

Further explanation

Given

wavelength = 670 nm = 670 x 10⁻⁹ m = 6.7 x 10 ⁻⁷ m

Required

The frequency

Solution

Wavelength : from the crest to the crest of the next wave or the trough to the trough

Frequency (f): number of waves in one second

Can be formulated :

 v = λ x f

f = v / λ

So the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s(speed of light)

Input the value :

f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s : 6.7 x 10 ⁻⁷ m

f = 4.478 x 10¹⁴ /s

Volcanic islands can form over hot spots. The Hawaiian Islands started forming over hot spots in the Pacific Ocean millions of years ago. What process causes the hot, solid rock to rise through the mantle at these locations?

Answers

Answer: Convection Currents

Explanation:

Due to the different   temperature occurring at the  upper and lower layers  of the mantle, it causes  heat transfer to occur. One of such heat transfer is the Convection currents which causes  warmer, less dense rock material in the core to rise through the mantle. Also, the cooler rocks in the higher mantle move slowly towards the core.The movement caused by these  Convection current in the Earth are  called plate tectonics which are responsible for earthquakes and volcanoes.

0.776 ×10²³ atoms of oxygen

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al₂CO₃ = 10.0 g

Number of atoms of oxygen = ?

Solution:

Displacement Reaction:

A displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule. For instance, when iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal.

Chemistry, Good amount of points for help!!

Answers

Answer:

Where are all my chemistry geniuses at?

1. The pattern of electronegativities would increase as you go across a period and would decrease as you go down a group in the periodic table.

2.  There is a correlation between electronegativity and atomic radius.  As electronegativity increases, atomic radius decreases. As electronegativity decreases, atomic radius increases. This would make sense because as a atomic radius increases, them more farther away the electrons are away from the nucleus because of their many subshells  making it less electronegative. As atomic radius decreases, the electrons are more closer to the nucleus because of their few subshells making the element more electronegative.

3. There is a correlation between ionization energy and electronegativity.  As electronegativity increases, ionization energy increases as well. If it decreases, ionization energy decreases too. This makes sense because the more electronegativity the element, the more they are closer to the nucleus(making them harder to remove) and the more desperate for an electron the atom is.

a sample of carbon dioxide gas at a pressure of 1.10 atm and a temperature of 20.6 occupies a volume of 19.2 L. If the gas is allowed to expand at constant temperature to a volume of 24.3 L, the pressure of the gas sample will be ________ atm

Answers

Answer:

0.87atm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of the gas  = 1.1atm

Initial temperature  = 20.6°C  = 20.6 + 273  = 293.6K

Initial volume  = 19.2L

New volume  = 24.3L

Unknown:

New pressure  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the Boyle's law equation:

      P1V1  = P2V2

P and V are pressure and volume

1 and 2 are the initial and new states

        1.1 x 19.2  = P2 x 24.3

             P2  = 0.87atm

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.

Answers

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14
