Answer : The inner core and the inhomogeneous mantle.

Explanation : The inner core and the inhomogeneous mantle present in the Earth's interior, are the parts that causes the diffraction of P waves made by earthquakes. The name P-wave may have abbreviated form for either pressure wave (as it consists of compressions and rarefactions) or the primary wave (because of high velocity and first wave to be recorded by a seismograph).

The Core and an inhomogeneous Mantle cause diffraction of P-waves. P-waves are a type of elastic seismic wave that travel through a continuum and are the first waves from an earthquake to arrive at a seismograph.

Charles's law describes the relationship of the volume and temperature of

True [87]

Answer:

The temperature would be reduced by half

Explanation:

Charles' Law => V ∝ T => V = kT => k = V/T

For two sets of T vs V conditions, the system constant (k) remains unchanged and k₁ = k₂ => V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.

Therefore, if V₁ is reduced to 1/2V₁ = V₂ => V₁/T₁ = 1/2V₁/T₂ => V₁/T₁ = V₁/2T₂

and solving for T₂ => 1/T₁ = 1/2T₂ => 2T₂ = T₁ => T₂ = 1/2T₁

∴ The initial temperature (T₁) would be reduced by half or, T₂ = 1/2T₁

when 6.0 mol of oxygen are confined in a 36L vessel at 196°c, the pressure is 8atm. what is the new pressure for oxygen expands

kykrilka [37]

Answer: The new pressure for oxygen gas is 6 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the new pressure of the gas, we use the equation given by Boyle's Law.

This law states that the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

Mathematically,

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the initial pressure and volume of the gas.

$P_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the final pressure and volume of the gas.

We are given:

$P_1=8atm\\V_1=36L\\P_2=?atm\\V_2=48L$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$8atm\times 36L=P_2\times 48L\\\\P_2=6atm$

Hence, the new pressure for oxygen gas is 6 atm.

At Jim's auto shop, it takes him minutes to do an oil change and minutes to do a tire change. Let be the number of oil changes h

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The total time that Jim needs to change x oil changes and y tire changes is less than 180 min.

The time needed for x oil changes is 12 * x.

The time needed for y tire changes is 18 * y.

The total time is the sum of the above times and needs to be less than 180 that is

12 * x + 18 * y < 180 divide both sides of equation by 6

12/6 * x + 18/6*y < 180/6

2*x + 3*y < 30

2*x < 30 - 3*y divide both sides by 2 to get the inequality for x

x < 30/2 - 3/2*y = 15 - 1.5 y < 15 that is x < = 15

2*x + 3*y < 30

3*y < 30 - 2*x divide both sides by 3 to get the inequality for y

y < 30/3 - 2/3 *x = 10 - 2/3*x < 10 that is y < = 10

Also we can write x + y < x+ 3/2 * y < 15.

Explanation:

Jim's can do not more then 5 oil changes and not more then 10 tire changes or all together she can do not more then 15 total of oil and tire changes.

When copper oxide is reacted with sulfuric acid, the acid is often gently heated. This is done in order to:

pav-90 [236]

Copper oxide(solid) + Sulphuric Acid (aqueous)-> Copper Sulphate (aqueous)+ Water(liquid)

In equation form:

CuO +H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + H2O

The colour change you will see is black to blue as Copper oxide is usually found as a black powder. Upon the reaction with sulphuric acid it will change to a cyan blue.

If you heat the made solution of copper sulphate, the water will evaporate and you will be left with white anhydrous copper sulphate crystals.
