What is rutheniums state of matter at room temperature?

is rutheniums a solid liquid or gas 2. Ruthenium is a white, very shiny metal, allied to the platinum group metals. It is pretty uncommon. We mine about 12 tonnes of this metal each year, from an estimated world reserves of about 5000 tonnes.


Why is the inner core of the earth solid even though its so hot?

The melting point of materials varies depending on the applied pressure. As pressure increases so does the melting temperature. This relationship is normally shown in a phase diagram.The main constituent of the inner core is iron and the inner core pressure is approximately 330-360 GPA while the temperature varies from approximately 5000 to 7000 K.The extremely high pressures in the Earth's inner core therefore drive the melting point of the iron up beyond the temperature that occurs and the metals of the inner core cannot melt.As such the inner core is solid, even though it is the highest temperature region in the Earth.Please see the related links.


Which cloud has grayish layers of clouds found 5000 to 20000 feet in the sky?

Altocumulus clouds are grayish layers of clouds found at an altitude ranging from 5000 to 20000 feet in the atmosphere. They typically appear as patches or layers and are composed of water droplets. Altocumulus clouds do not usually produce precipitation, but they can sometimes indicate approaching weather changes.


How far can you see on flat land?

The answer to your question is expressed in an equation. If you are 6 feet tall, then that is roughly 2 meters tall. The equation is 3.5 X The square root of 2 meters or however many meters you are above ground. At 2 meters above sea level, You would take the square root of 2 meters which is 1.41 then multiply it by 3.5 which gives you roughly 4.95. That is how many Kilometers you can see. If you want to convert it to feet, multiply it by 1000 to get how many meters which would be about 5000 meters, then multiply it by 2.6 to convert it to feet. That makes it 13000 feet. Then divide by 5280 to get miles. Therefore, at 2 meters above sea level, someone would be able to see 2.5 miles.


What is the average oxygen level in the air at 5000 ft?

The oxygen content of air at any altitude is always about 21%
