Properties of some particular solutions 10. Fig. 1. Phase diagram for water-sucrose solutions at 100 kPa. Glucose has a solubility of 47%wt in water at 15 ÂºC (i.e. up to 890 g of glucose can be dissolved in 1 kg of. pure water, or 570 kg/m3 in solution). Lactose can be dissolved up to 150 g/kg of pure water.
Where was the biggest earthquake ever recorded? Scientists give earthquakes a magnitude rating based on the strength and duration of their seismic waves. A quake measuring 3 to 5 is considered minor or light; 5 to 7 is moderate to strong; 7 to 8 is major; and 8 or more is great. The largest quake ever recorded was near Valdivia, in southern Chile on May 22, 1960. It was measured at a magnitude of 9.5, lasted for 10 minutes and triggered a tsunami. Estimates of the number killed by the natural disaster in Chile vary between 1,000 and 6,000. The deadliest, and second largest, earthquake ever recorded struck the island of Sumatra in Indonesia in 2004. The magnitude 9.3 quake triggered a catastrophic tsunami in the Indian Ocean which is believed to have killed more than 280,000 people in several countries.
The Worldâs largest earthquake with an instrumentally documented magnitude occurred on May 22, 1960 near Valdivia, in southern Chile. It was assigned a magnitude of 9.5 by the United States Geological Survey. It is referred to as the Great Chilean Earthquake and the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake.The United States Geological Survey reports this event as the largest earthquake of the 20th Century.Other earthquakes in recorded history may have been larger, however this is the largest earthquake that has occurred since accurate estimates of magnitude became possible in the earnly 1900's.The earthquake occurred beneath the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile.umerous large earthquakes have occurred in this area before and after the May 22, 1960 event. The earthquake was preceded by four foreshocks greater than magnitude 7.0. The largest was a magnitude 7.9 earthquake one day before that caused significant damage in the Concepcion area.
