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.

Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the following reaction: 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)→2NaCl(s) What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at
asambeis [7]

Answer:6.719Litres of Cl2 gas.

Explanation:According to eqn of rxn

2Na +Cl2=2NaCl

P=689torr=689/760=0.91atm

T=39°C+273=312K

according to stoichiometry of the reaction,1Moles of Cl2 gives 2moles of NaCl

But 28g of NaCl was given,we have to convert this to moles by using the relation, n=mass/MW

MW of NaCl=23+35.5=58.5g/mol

n=28g(mass given of NaCl)/58.5

n=0.479moles of NaCl

Going back to the reaction,

if 1moles of Cl2 produces 2moles of NaCl

x moles of Cl2 will give 0.479moles of NaCl.

x=0.479*1/2

x=0.239moles of Cl2.

To find the volume, we use ideal ggas eqn,PV=nRT

V=nRT/P

V=0.239*0.082*312/0.91

V=6.719Litres

The table above summarizes data given to a student to evaluate the type of change that took place when substance X was mixed wit
Tamiku [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The table above summarizes data given to a student to evaluate the type of change that took place when substance X was mixed with water. The student claimed that the data did not provide enough evidence to determine whether a chemical or physical change took place and that additional tests were needed. Which of the following identifies the best way to gather evidence to support the type of change that occurred when water and Xwere mixed?

A. Measuring the melting point of the mixture of water and X

B. Adding another substance to the mixture of water and X to see whether a solid forms

C Measuring and comparing the masses of the water,  X, and the mixture of water and X

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Answer:

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Explanation:

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the table here. However, from the table,  the temperature of the of the mixture of the solid X and water was 101.6°C. This is above the boiling point of water and way below the temperature of the solid X.

This goes a long way to suggest that there was some kind of interaction between the water and X which accounted for the observed temperature of the system of X in water.

The only way we can be able to confirm if X actually dissolved in water is to measure the conductivity of the water. dissolved solids increase the conductivity of water.

Use enthalpies of formation given in appendix c to calculate δh for the reaction br2(g)→2br(g), and use this value to estimate t
Contact [7]

Given reaction represents dissociation of bromine gas to form bromine atoms

Br2(g) ↔ 2Br(g)

The enthalpy of the above reaction is given as:

ΔH = ∑n(products)ΔH^{0}f(products) - ∑n(reactants)ΔH^{0}f(reactants)

where n = number of moles

ΔH^{0}f= enthalpy of formation

ΔH = [2*ΔH(Br(g)) - ΔH(Br2(g))] = 2*111.9 - 30.9 = 192.9 kJ/mol

Thus, enthalpy of dissociation is the bond energy of Br-Br = 192.9 kJ/mol
