Liquid


Which Temperature and pressure combine to keep the outer core in a?

The outer core is kept in a liquid state due to a combination of high temperature, estimated to be between 4400°C and 6100°C, and high pressure, estimated to be around 1.4 million atm at the inner boundary with the inner core.


What is the state of the inner and outer core and why is it this state?

The inner core is solid due to high pressure preventing the temperature from melting the iron-nickel alloy. The outer core is liquid because the lower pressure allows for the metal to remain in a molten state.


What state of matter is argon in?

that depends on the temperature and pressure, at room temperature and pressure argon is a gas


In what state of matter is chlorine in?

At standard temperature and pressure, chlorine will be a gas.


What causes the inner core to be solid when the outer core is liquid?

The extremely high pressure at the inner core drives the melting point of the iron and other materials up beyond the temperature of the inner core. Therefore they remain solid. The pressure in the outer core is lower sop the melting point is below the temperature in this region and so it is a liquid.


Why is the earth's outer core liquid but the inner is solid?

The outer core is liquid because it is under high pressure which lowers the melting point of the metals present in it. The inner core is solid because the immense pressure at the Earth's center, combined with the high temperature, keeps the iron and nickel in a solid state.


A state of material depends on this?

This depends on the nature of the material, structure, temperature, pressure.


What determine the state of a substance?

State of matter for chlorine?

Depends on the temperature and pressure. At room temp and pressure, chlorine is a gas.


Matter changes state because of?

Matter changes state because of temperature and pressure. These quantities bring change.


Why are iron and nickel liquid state in outer core?

They are in this state due to the high temperatures (they have melted). Also note that they are not liquid in the inner core even at the even higher temperatures because of the intense pressure also acting.
