Why is electromagnetic radiation a transverse wave?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the direction of particle displacement in electromagnetic waves is also perpendicular to the direction of motion, generating the waveform of visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, they are also transverse waves.

In a transverse wave, the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of motion (at an angle of 90 degrees Celsius). The direction of displacement (up and down) in the case of the ocean wave is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion (horizontally along the water), making it a transverse wave.

How far a particle has moved from its original starting position, or, in the case of an ocean wave, how high or low the water is, is measured by its displacement or amplitude.

A certain metal forms a soluble nitrate salt M(NO3)3. Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

1.The electrode on the right is positive

2. 0.058V

Explanation:

The above cell is a concentration cell.

A concentration cell is an electrolytic cell that is made of two half-cells with the same electrodes, but differs in concentrations of the solutions. A concentration cell functions by diluting the more concentrated solution and concentrating the more dilute solution, creating a voltage as the cell reaches an equilibrium thereby transferring the electrons from the cell with the lower concentration to the cell with the higher concentration.

In the above cell, electrons flow from the left electrode (less concentrated) to the right electrode (more concentrated). Therefore, the right electrode is the positive electrode (cathode).

When ammonia is mixed with hydrogen chloride (HCl), the white solid ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is produced. Suppose 10.0 g ammoni

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

There will remain 5.33 grams of NH3 and there will be produced 14.66 grams NH4Cl

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ammonia = 10.0 grams

Mass of hydrogen chloride = 10.0 grams

Molar mass of ammonia = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen chloride = 36.46 g/mol

Step 2: the balanced equation

NH3 + HCl → NH4Cl

Step 3: Calculate moles NH3

Moles NH3 = mass NH3 / molar mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 10.0 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.587 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HCl

Moles HCl = 10.0 grams / 36.46 g/mol

Moles HCl = 0.274 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol NH3 we need 1 mol HCl to produce 1 mol NH4Cl

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed. (0.274 moles)

NH3 is in excess. There will remain 0.587 - 0.274 = 0.313 moles

This is: 0.313 moles * 17.03 = 5.33 grams

Step 6: Calculate moles NH4Cl

For 1 mol NH3 we need 1 mol HCl to produce 1 mol NH4Cl

For 0.274 moles HCl we need 0.274 moles NH4Cl

Step 7: Calculate mass of NH4Cl

Mass NH4Cl = moles NH4Cl * molar mass NH4Cl

Mass NH4Cl = 0.274 moles * 53.49 g/mol

Mass NH4Cl = 14.66 grams

There will remain 5.33 grams of NH3 and there will be produced 14.66 grams NH4Cl

Grams can be converted to moles and vice versa which conversion factors is/are used for this

Stels [109]

Answer:

Converting Grams to Moles of an Element and Vice Versa.

We can convert back and forth between grams of an element and moles.

The conversion factor for this is the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass is the ratio giving the number of grams for each one mole of the substance

molar mass is the factor

The water-gas shift reaction plays a central role in the chemical methods for obtaining cleaner fuels from coal: CO(g) + H2O(g)

taurus [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide and water when equilibrium is re-established are 0.362 M, 0.212 M, 0.138 M and 0.138 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

$CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$

The expression of $K_c$ for above reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$ ........(1)

We are given:

$[CO]_{eq}=[H_2O]_{eq}=[H_2]_{eq}=0.10M$

$[CO_2]_{eq}=0.40M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_c=\frac{0.40\times 0.10}{010\times 0.10}\\\\K_c=4$

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

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

Moles of hydrogen gas = 0.30 mol

Volume of solution = 2.0 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of }H_2=\frac{0.30mol}{2L}=0.15M$

When hydrogen gas is added, the concentration of product gets increased. But, by Le-Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where concentration of product must decrease, which is in the backward direction.

Concentration of hydrogen gas when equilibrium is re-established = 0.1 + 0.15 = 0.25 M

Now, the equilibrium is shifting to the reactant side. The equation follows:

$CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)$

Initial: 0.1 0.1 0.4 0.1

At eqllm: 0.1+x 0.1+x 0.4-x 0.25-x

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

$4=\frac{(0.25-x)(0.4-x)}{(0.1+x)(0.1+x)}\\\\3x^2+1.45x-0.06=0\\\\x=0.038,-0.522$

Neglecting the negative value of 'x'

Calculating the concentrations of the species:

Concentration of carbon dioxide = (0.4 - x) = (0.4 - 0.038) = 0.362 M

Concentration of hydrogen gas = (0.25 - x) = (0.25 - 0.038) = 0.212 M

Concentration of carbon monoxide = (0.1 + x) = (0.1 + 0.038) = 0.138 M

Concentration of water = (0.1 + x) = (0.1 + 0.038) = 0.138 M

Hence, the concentration of carbon dioxide, hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide and water when equilibrium is re-established are 0.362 M, 0.212 M, 0.138 M and 0.138 M respectively.
