Ranking order of speed of sound is; Steel >Water > Air.

Speed of sound in normal air is 340 m/s, in water the speed is 1,430 m/s and in steel the speed is 5920 m/s.

<h3>What is speed of sound?</h3>

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. The speed of sound in an ideal gas depends only on its temperature and composition. The speed of sound in mathematical notation is conventionally represented by 'c'. The speed of sound is variable and depends on the properties of the substance through which the wave is travelling.

In this experiment we will be using a 0.05 M solution of HCl to determine the concentration of hydroxide (OH-) in a saturated so

gulaghasi [49]

<u>Answer:</u> The moles of hydroxide ions present in the sample is 0.0008 moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl.

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.05M\\V_1=16mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=?M\\V_2=36.0mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.05\times 16=2\times M_2\times 36\\\\M_2=\frac{1\times 0.05\times 16}{2\times 36}=0.011M$

To calculate the moles of hydroxide ions, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Molarity of solution = 0.011 M

Volume of solution = 36.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.011=\frac{\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2\times 1000}{36}\\\\\text{Moles of }Ca(OH)_2=\frac{0.011\times 36}{1000}=0.0004mol$

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions.

Moles of hydroxide ions = (0.0004 × 2) = 0.0008 moles

Hence, the moles of hydroxide ions present in the sample is 0.0008 moles

Dinitrogen tetraoxide, N2O4, decomposes to nitrogen dioxide, NO2, in a first-order process. If k = 1.5 x 103 s-1 at 5 ºC and k =

Arada [10]

Answer:

The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol

Explanation:

Using the expression,

$\ln \dfrac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} =-\dfrac{E_{a}}{R} \left (\dfrac{1}{T_1}-\dfrac{1}{T_2} \right )$

Wherem

$k_1\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_1$

$k_2\ is\ the\ rate\ constant\ at\ T_2$

$E_a$ is the activation energy

R is Gas constant having value = 8.314 J / K mol

Thus, given that, $E_a$ = ?

$k_2=4.0\times 10^3s^{-1}$

$k_1=1.5\times 10^3s^{-1}$

$T_1=5\ ^0C$

$T_2=25\ ^0C$

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (5 + 273.15) K = 278.15 K

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

$T_1=278.15\ K$

$T_2=298.15\ K$

So,

$\ln \frac{1.5\times 10^3}{4.0\times 10^3}\:=-\frac{E_{a}}{8.314}\times \left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)$

$E_a=-\ln \frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4.0\times \:10^3}\:\times \frac{8.314}{\left(\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}\right)}$

$E_a=-\frac{8.314\ln \left(\frac{1.5\times \:10^3}{4\times \:10^3}\right)}{\frac{1}{278.15}-\frac{1}{298.15}}$

$E_a=-\frac{689483.53266 \ln \left(\frac{1.5}{4}\right)}{20}$

$E_a=33813.28\ J/mol$

<u>The activation energy for the decomposition = 33813.28 J/mol</u>
