Answer:

Temperature affects Seismic Wave speed.

Explanation:

Both temperature and pressure affect the speed of Seismic waves. The Speed of Seismic waves increases uniformly as pressure increases, meaning that as depth increases, pressure also increases which causes Seismic Wave speeds to increase as well. This can be calculated and the data can be gathered. Temperature on the other hand decreases the speed of Seismic Waves, therefore we can calculate the difference of speed between what the Seismic Wave should be at a certain pressure with the actual speed gathered. This difference in speed will allow us to determine the actual temperature at that level.

Determine the number of moles in 4.21 x 10^23 molecules of CaCl2
Paha777 [63]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.699 mole CaCl₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To get the number of moles we use the Avogadro's number.

Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10^23.

But, 1 mole of a compound contains  6.022 x 10^23 molecules

In this case;

we are given 4.21 × 10^23 molecules of CaCl₂

Therefore, to get the number of moles

Moles = Number of molecules ÷ Avogadro's constant

          = 4.21 × 10^23 molecules ÷  6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mole

          = 0.699 mole CaCl₂

Hence, the number of moles is 0.699 mole of CaCl₂

The gaseous product of a reaction is collected in a 25.0-l container at 27
nataly862011 [7]
To find the number of moles of gas we can use the ideal gas law equation, we dont need to use the mass of gas given as we only have to find the number of moles 
PV = nRT 
P - pressure - 300.0 kPa 
V - volume - 25.0 x 10⁻³ m³
n - number of moles 
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 27 °C + 273 = 300 K
substituting these values in the equation 
300.0 kPa x 25.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 300 K 
n = 3.01 mol 
number of mols of gas - 3.01 mol

Each response gives a pair of solutions. which pair of solutions should conduct electrical current equally well? 1. 0.10 m nh3 a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer : The correct answer is option 2 : 0.10 M NaCl and 0.10 M NaClO₄

Explanation :

Solutions are classified into 3 categories.

1) Strong electrolytes : These are the solutions that dissociate completely forming ions . They are good conductors of electricity.

Example : All strong acids, bases and the salts made by strong acid/base are strong electrolytes .

2) Weak electrolytes : These substances do not dissociate completely thereby forming fewer ions. They are weak conductors of electricity.

3) Non electrolytes : These are the substances that do not dissociate at all. They do not form ions in aqueous medium. They are bad conductors of electricity.

Let us take a look at the given options and find out what type of solution do we have .

Option 1 : NH₃ is a weak electrolyte whereas NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte bcause NH₄Cl is made by combination of NH₃ and HCl ( HCl is a strong acid)

Therefore NH₃ would carry electricity less efficiently than NH₄Cl.

Option 2 : Both NaCl and NaClO₄ are strong electrolytes. Therefore they will conduct electrical current equally well

Option 3 : NaNO₃ is a strong electrolyte but HNO₂ is a weak electrolyte. Therefore they will not carry the current equally

Therefore the correct option is option 2

Write an equation to show how HC2O4− can act as a base with HS− acting as an acid.
Artyom0805 [142]

An acid donates H^{+} ion in aqueous solution. A base accepts H^{+} ion in aqueous solution.

The equation representing the acid base reaction of HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} and HS^{-}:

HC_{2}O_{4}^{-}(aq) + HS^{-}(aq) ----> H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)

In the above reaction, as HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} acts as a base it is accepting the hydrogen ion from HS^{-}. Similarly, HS^{-} donates its hydrogen ion to HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} acting as an acid.
