A mechanical wave is a wave that ___ it’s energy

2 answers:

8 0

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy.

Transmits it’s energy I think. Like sound waves, that’s an example of how it can transmit its energy. It requires a medium to do so.

How many liters of 3.0 M NaOH solution will react with 2.4 mol H2SO4? (Remember to balance the equation.)

timurjin [86]

Answer:

1.6 L is the volume of NaOH that has reacted

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

This is a neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a strong base. The products are the correspond salt and water.

We propose this rule of three:

1 mol of sulfuric acid needs 2 mol of NaOH to react to react

Then, 2.4 moles of H₂SO₄ will react with (2.4 . 2) / 1 = 4.8 moles of NaOH

As molarity is 3M, we can determine the volume of our solution

Molarity (M) = mol / volume(L) → Volume(L) = mol / Molarity

Volume(L) = 4.8 mol / 3 M = 1.6 L

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 170 mol of hydrogen gas and 80 mol of oxygen gas. Express your

Sav [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of hydrogen gas = 170 moles

Moles of oxygen gas = 80 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen gas

So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 80=160mol$ of hydrogen gas

As, given amount of hydrogen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 80 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 80=160moles$ of water

Hence, the amount of water that can be formed is 160 moles

Write an equation for the formation of bf3(g) from its elements in their standard states.

blagie [28]

In nature, boron is monoatomic. Therefore, its formula is B.
On the other hand, fluorine is diatomic. Therefore, its formula is F2

Now, the basic unbalanced equation is:
B + F2 .........> BF3

Now, we need to balance this equation. As you can see, we have two fluorine moles entering the reaction and 3 formed in the products.
Balancing the equation, we will reach the following balanced reaction:
2B + 3F2 .......> 2BF3

Which of the compounds above are strong enough acids to react almost completely with a hydroxide ion (pka of h2o = 15.74) or wit

luda_lava [24]

The compounds can react with OH⁻ and HCO₃⁻ only C₅H₆N pyridinium

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

In an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid (acid from the reaction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)

If the acid gives (H +), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H +), then the base formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.

From this, it can be seen whether the acid in the product can give its proton to a base (or acid which has a lower Ka value) so that the reaction can go to the right to produce the product.

The step that needs to be done is to know the pKa value of the two acids (one on the left side and one on the right side of the arrow), then just determine the value of the equilibrium constant

Can be formulated:

K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left : K acid on the right.

or:

pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the right

K = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactions

pK = -log K;

$K~=~10^{-pK}$
