Gordon wrote this passage about mechanical waves for his physics class. But he got most of his facts mixed up. Only one sentence

is correct. Which sentence is it?
A) Mechanical waves don’t need a medium to travel. When they travel through a vacuum, mechanical waves are oval-shaped. They’re either transverse or double transverse waves.

B) Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on objects in their path.

C) But they travel slower in denser mediums.

Answer: The correct answer is "Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on objects in their path".

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is wave in which there is an oscillation of the wave. The energy is transferred through a medium. Mechanical waves can apply pressure to and push on their path. Only the energy is transferred not the matter.

Mechanical waves are of three types: Transverse wave, Longitudinal wave and Surface wave. The examples of the mechanical wave are sound wave and water wave.

Sound is a pressure disturbance which travels through a medium. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

The mechanical waves need a medium for their propagation. They travel faster in denser medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

Substitution of an amino group on the para position of acetophenone shifts the cjo frequency from about 1685 to 1652 cm−1 , wher
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibration depends on the strength of the bond (the force constant).

The stronger the bond, the more energy is needed for the vibration, so the frequency (f) and the wavenumber increase.

Acetophenone

Resonance interactions with the aromatic ring give the C=O bond in acetophenone a mix of single- and double-bond character, and the bond frequency = 1685 cm⁻¹.

p-Aminoacetophenone

The +R effect of the amino group increases the single-bond character of the C=O bond. The bond lengthens, so it becomes weaker.

The vibrational energy decreases, so wavenumber decreases to 1652 cm⁻¹.

p-Nitroacetophenone

The nitro group puts a partial positive charge on C-1. The -I effect withdraws electrons from the acetyl group.

As electron density moves toward C-1, the double bond character of the C=O group increases.

The bond length decreases, so the bond becomes stronger, and wavenumber  increases to 1693 cm¹.

Instrumental methods need only a microscopic sample to return an accurate result. Why is this so?
uranmaximum [27]
Instrumental methods of analysis rely on machines.The visualization of single molecules, single biological cells, biological tissues and nanomaterials is very important and attractive approach in analytical science.
There are several different types of instrumental analysis. Some are suitable for detecting and identifying elements, while others are better suited to compounds. In general, instrumental methods of analysis are:
-Fast
-Accurate (they reliably identify elements and compounds)
-Sensitive (they can detect very small amounts of a substance in a small amount of sample)

If 6.00 g of the unknown compound contained 0.200 mol of C and 0.400 mol of H, how many moles of oxygen, O, were in the sample?
Arada [10]

Convert moles to mass.

mass C = 0.2 mol * 12 g / mol = 2.4 g

mass H = 0.4 mol * 1 g / mol = 0.4 g

So mass left for O = 6 g – (2.4 g + 0.4 g) = 3.2 g

 

Calculating for moles O given mass:

moles O = 3.2 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.2 moles

 

Answer:

<span>0.2 moles O</span>
