“The Earth’s lithosphere is thinner than its asthenosphere”, the statement correctly compares the thicknesses of Earth’s layers
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The outermost parts of the Earth composed of crust and a part of the upper mantle is termed as lithosphere. And asthenosphere is positioned below lithosphere. The bottom layer of lithosphere has the parts of the upper crust.
So the highly viscous and ductile region in the remaining part of the upper crust forms the asthenosphere below the lithosphere. The upper crust in the lithosphere region contain elastic properties while the upper crust in the asthenosphere is ductile in nature. Thus the statement that lithosphere is thinner than asthenosphere is true as it is located at the surface.
Answer: The sample absorbed 3061.565J
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of water = 335g
Initial temperature = 24.5°C
Final temperature = 26.4°C
Heat absorbed by the sample is given as = mass x specific heat of water x temperature change
Heat absorbed,q=mCΔt
The specific heat of water,C = 4.81J/g°C
Therefore, Heat absorbed,q = 335 x 4.81h x (26.4 - 24.5) = 3061.565J
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that water loving bonds are called hydrophilic bonds and water hating bonds are called hydrophobic bonds. Since, water is a polar solvent and it is only able to dissolve polar molecules and not non-polar molecules.
Lattice of water and hydrogen bonding are responsible for the various properties of water like cohesion, adhesion, heat of vaporization etc.
Thus, we can conclude that water lattice excludes non-polar substances.
