- We're told oxygen is the most common element in the Earth's solid crust. But how much oxygen is there? Let's compare to the amount of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere, like this: • The most common minerals in the Earth's crust are feldspars, and albite (NaAlSi,0g) is a typical feldspar. Let's assume the entire crust is made of albite with a density of 2.6 g/cm°. • The radius of the Earth is 6371. km and let's say the crust is the upper 100. km of it. • Let's model the Earth's atmosphere as a layer on top of the Earth about 100. km thick with an average density of 0.99 g/m", and which is 23.1% oxygen by mass. Use this information to calculate the ratio of the mass of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere to the mass of oxygen in the Earth's crust. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.arrow_forward2.

- Helium is a very important element for both industrial and research applications. In its gas form it can be used for welding, and since it has a very low melting point (only 0.95 K under 2.5 MPa) it can be used in liquid form to cool superconducting magnets, such as those found in particle physics experiments. Say we have a cylinder of n = 105 moles of Helium gas at room temperature (T= 20° C). The cylinder has a radius of r = 16.5 cm and a height h = 1.31 m. What pressure (in kPa) is the helium gas under? P = Helium is usually kept in the highest pressure gas cylinders, which can typically withstand at least 500 atm of pressure. Would the tank in part (a) be able to maintain its structural integrity? In principle, these tanks could fail if the temperature of the Helium started rising - if they were stored in a hot environment, for instance. To determine how much of a danger this is, calculate the temperature (in C) the Helium gas would have to be to make the tank start to crack.
