Question: ( a ) ( 5 ) What is the average size of the spherical particles or 'spherules'? ( b ) ( 5 ) What is

(a)(5)What is the average size of the spherical particles or 'spherules'?
(b)(5)What is the possible chemical composition or material of the spherical particle
based on the EDS data provided below ? Do you think it is common to see Fe in 'dust'?
Figure caption: EDS spectrum for a
typical metal-rich spherule, K and L
lines for noted elements are labeled.
Elemental contents in atomic percent
are approximately: O(63),Si(14),Fe
(11),Al(9),K(1),Mg(0.4),Na(0.4),
Ni(0.3) and S(0.2); the small C peak is
likely from the carbon conductive tab
used to hold the sample.
(c)(15)describe a new experiment that you would undertake to evaluate in more
detail the chemical composition of the spherules.
 (a)(5)What is the average size of the spherical particles or 'spherules'?
