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.

Answer:

volume in L = 0.25 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ = 2.43 g

Volume of KI = ?

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation:

2Cu(NO₃)₂  + 4KI    →    2CuI + I₂ + 4KNO₃

Moles of Cu(NO₃)₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.43 g/ 187.56 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.013 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ with KI.

                        Cu(NO₃)₂       :              KI    

                              2              :               4

                            0.013          :            4 × 0.013=0.052 mol

Volume of KI:

<em>Molarity = moles of solute / volume in L</em>

volume in L = moles of solute /Molarity

volume in L =  0.052 mol / 0.209 mol/L

volume in L = 0.25 L

Suppose that the microwave radiation has a wavelength of 12.4 cm . How many photons are required to heat 255 mL of coffee from 2
vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

wavelength λ = 12.4 x 10⁻² m .

energy of one photon = h c / λ

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ /  12.4 x 10⁻²

= 1.6 x 10⁻²⁴ J .

Let density of coffee be equal to density of water .

mass of coffee = 255 x 1 = 255 g

heat required to heat up coffee = mass x specific heat x rise in temp

= 255 x 4.18 x ( 62-25 )

= 39438.3 J  .

No of photons required = heat energy required / energy of one photon

= 39438.3 / 1.6 x 10⁻²⁴

= 24649 x 10²⁴

= 24.65 x 10²⁷ .

Which of the following is the best piece of laboratory glassware for preparing 500.0 mL of an aqueous solution of a solid?
Leni [432]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Volumetric flask  : A glass ware with round lower body with flat bottom and with thin cylindrical neck along with mark which indicates the specific volume filled to that mark.It is used in preparation of standard solution of compound with desired concentration with fixed volume.

Erlenmeyer flask : is a flask with conical shape with flat bottom used in titration  experiments to carry out reaction with fixed volume of solution.

Test tube : Small cylindrical tube with rounded bottom used to observe reaction in between reactant taken in small amount.

Graduated beaker : Laboratory glassware used measure larger volumes of solution or to mix or stir solutions and liquids.

Graduated cylinder : Laboratory thin cylindrical glassware with accurate marking of volume used to measure an accurate volume of solutions or liquids required in an experiment.

An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.
