CaS is the empirical formula of the compound between calcium and sulphur that has the percent composition 55.6.

When percentages are given, we take a total mass of 100 grams.

Therefore the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Ca = 55.6 g (given) of

S Mass = 44.4 g (100 - 55.6 = 44.4)

Step 1: Convert the given mass to moles.

moles Ca = given mass Ca / molar mass Ca

moles = 55.6 / 40 = 1.39 moles

mol S = specific mass S / molar mass S

mol = 44.4 / 32 = 1.39 mol

Step 2: Divide the molar ratio of each molar value by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Ca = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

For S = 1.39 / 1.39 = 1

The ratio of Ca : S = 1:1

Hence the empirical formula of the given compound will be CaS.

Dolphins communicate using compression waves (longitudinal waves). Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of hum

lana66690 [7]

Answer: send the message underwater because a more dense medium would make the sound travel faster.

Explanation:

Dolphins communicate using compression waves - longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves requires a medium to travel. A longitudinal wave transfers energy by the vibration of medium particles in the direction of the wave motion. Compression are the regions where density of the medium is higher and rarefaction is a low density region.

A longitudinal wave travels faster in a denser medium. It has maximum speed in solid and minimum in gas. Thus, to transfer message quickly to dolphin B., dolphin A should send the message underwater and not in air. This is because water has higher density than air. Molecules collide more quickly in water than in air and it takes less time for signal to travel.

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = $-\frac{GMm}{R}$

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - $\frac{GMm}{R}$

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = $-\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2$

But $V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }$

Therefore: $E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2= -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R} = -\frac{GMm}{10R}$

W = E - PE

$W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}$
