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).

Predict the initial and isolated products for the reaction. The starting material is a 6 carbon chain where there is a triple bo
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.

Octane (C8H18) undergoes combustion according to the following thermochemical equation. 2C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) → 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(l
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The standard enthalpy of formation of liquid octane is -250.2 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_8H_{18}(l)+25O_2(g)\rightarrow 16CO_2(g)+18H_2O(l)

First we have to calculate the enthalpy of reaction (\Delta H^o).

\Delta H^o=H_f_{product}-H_f_{reactant}

\Delta H^o=[n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}+n_{H_2O}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(H_2O)}]-[n_{C_8H_{18}}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(C_8H_{18})+n_{O_2}\times \Delta H_f^0_{(O_2)}]

where,

We are given:

\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.5kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_8H_{18}(l))}=?kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(l))}=-285.8kJ/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

-1.0940\times 10^4=[(16\times -393.5)+(18\times -285.8)]-[(25\times 0)+(2\times \Delat H_f{C_8H_{18}(l)}]

\Delta H^o_f_{(C_8H_{18}(l))}=-250.2kJ/mol

Thus the standard enthalpy of formation of liquid octane is -250.2 kJ/mol

Complete the sentence. When an acid is added to water, hydroxide ions __________.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The hydroxide ions decrease.

Explanation:

I got it right on the quiz. This is what I saw. Read this, "Adding water to an acid or base will change its pH. Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7."

Hope this helps! Tell me if this is wrong just incase.

How many grams of nano3 would you add to 500g of h2o in order to prepare a solution that is 0.500 molal in nano3?
VARVARA [1.3K]
When the concentration is expressed in molality, it is expressed in moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Since we are given the mass of the solvent, which is water, we can compute for the moles of solute NaNO3.

0.5 m = x mol NaNO3/0.5 kg water
x = 0.25 mol NaNO3

Since the molar mass of NaNO3 is 85 g/mol, the mass is

0.25 mol * 85 g/mol = 21.25 grams NaNO3 needed

Sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonate and water: 2 naoh(s) + co2(g) → na2co3(s) + h2o(l) how many
kow [346]
No of moles of naoh = 2.40 ÷ (23+16+1) = 0.06mol

no of moles of na2co3 = 0.06 ÷ 2 = 0.03mol

mass of na2co3 = 0.03 × (23×2+12+16×3) = 0.03 × 106 = 3.18g
