Answer: sound can slow down, so when it travels through all of that it's muffled and kind of blocked. sound travels at 332 metres per second so it's hard to stop the sound

By mistake, a quart of oil was dumped into a swimming pool that measures 25.0 m by 30.0 m. The density of the oil was 0.750 g/cm
kondor19780726 [428]

The oil slick thick = 1.256 x 10⁻⁴ cm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Volume is a derivative quantity derived from the length of the principal

The unit of volume can be expressed in liters or milliliters or cubic meters

The conversion is

1 cc = 1 cm3

1 dm = 1 Liter

1 L = 1.06 quart

<em>so for 1 quart = 0.943 L</em>

\tt 0.943~L=0.943\times 10^{-3}m^3

Volume of oil dumped = volume of swimming pool

\tt 0.943\times 10^{-3}~m^3=25\times 30\times h(h=thick)\\\\h=\dfrac{0.943\times 10^{-3}}{750~m^2}=1.257\times 10^{-6}~m=\boxed{\bold{1.256\times 10^{-4}~cm}}

What is the change in enthalpy in kilojoules when 3.24 g of CH3OH is completely reacted according to the following reaction 2 CH
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

12.78 kJ

Explanation:

The correct balanced reaction would be

2CH_3OH\rightarrow 2CH_4+O_2\Delta H=252.8\ \text{kJ}

Mass of methanol = 3.24\ \text{g}

Moles of methanol can be obtained by dividing the mass of methanol with its molar mass (32.04\ \text{g/mol})

\dfrac{3.24}{32.04}=0.10112\ \text{moles}

Enthalpy change for the number of moles is given by

\dfrac{\text{Number of moles of methanol in the reaction}}{\text{Enthalpy change in the reaction}}=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles in 3.24 g of methanol}}{\text{Enthaply in change in the mass of methanol}}

\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{2}{252.8}=\dfrac{0.10112}{\Delta H}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=\dfrac{0.10112\times 252.8}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=12.781568\approx 12.78\ \text{kJ}

The change in enthalpy is 12.78 kJ.

Radioactive elements decay at a know rate known as half-life. Choose all of the correct statements concerning half-life. Carbon-
9966 [12]

Explanation:

Half life is simply the amount of time it takes for half of a substance to decompose.

Options;

- Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. A 30 gram sample will be 10 grams after 5,730 years. This is incorrect. After 5730 years, 15g of the sample ought to remain.

- Nickel-59 has a half-life of 76,000 years. A sample would go through 3 half-lives in 228,000 years. This is correct. 3 * 76000 = 228,000

- Hafnium-182 has a half-life of 9 million years. A 38 gram sample would be 4.75 grams in 27 million years. This is incorrect. Mass after 3 half lives (27/9) = 9.5 (38 / 2 / 2)

- Iron-60 has a half-life of 1.5 million years. In 6 million years a 40 gram sample would be reduced to 10 grams. This is incorrect. Mass after 4 half lives (6 / 1.5) = 2.5 gram (40 / 2 / 2 /2 / 2)

- Lead-202 has a half-life of 52,500 years. The original sample must have been 120 grams if you have a 60 gram sample after 105,000 years. This is incorrect. Original sampe = 240 gram. So after 2 half lives (105,000/52500), mass left = 60 (240 / 2 /2)

A solid metal oxide crystallizes in a cubic unit cell. In the unit cell there are metal (M) ions on every corner and in the cent
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the solid metal oxide is : MO

Explanation:

M atom is present in the every corner and in the center of every face.

Number of m atoms :

\frac{1}{8}\times 8+\frac{1}{2}\times 6=4

Number of tetrahedral voids in F.C.C = 2n = 2 × 4 = 8

Oxide ion is present in the half of the tetrahedral void

Number oxide ions = \frac{8}{2}=4

The molecular formula of the solid metal oxide is : M_4O_4=MO

The empirical formula represent the lowest number of atoms present in a compound.

The empirical formula of the solid metal oxide is : MO

Like many other organic solvents we will use this semester, ethanol is flammable and caution needs to be exercised when heating
laiz [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A flammable solvent refers to a solvent that catches fire easily. The precautions to be taken when working with flammable solvents are;

1) heat the solvent at a low to medium hot plate setting.

2) if you need to boil the solvent, use a condenser rather than a flask or beaker without a cover.

3) make sure that the hotplate is larger than the vessel containing the mixture that is being heated.

4) do not use strong oxidizing agents
