Explanation:
The speed of seismic waves is affected by the density of the underlying rock.
Seismic waves are elastic waves that transmits elastic energy from one point to the other.
These waves generally produced during an earthquake.
- The higher the density of rock bodies, the faster the wave travels.
- Rocks that are well packed with little to no void have a higher seismic velocity.
- Where density of rock is low, the speed is also low
Answer:
Cl⁻ was oxidized.
Explanation:
- 4HCl + MnO₂ → Cl₂ + 2H₂O + MnCl₂
Oxidation can be defined as the process in which the oxidation number of a substance increases.
On the left side of the equation, Cl has a charge of -1 (in HCl); while on the right side of the equation Cl has a charge of 0 in Cl₂.
Thus, Cl⁻ was oxidized.
Answer:
3 × 10⁴ kJ
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced thermochemical equation
C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⟶ 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g) ΔH = -2220 kJ
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 865.9 g of H₂O
The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.
865.9 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 48.05 mol
Step 3: Calculate the heat produced when 48.05 moles of H₂O are produced
According to the thermochemical equation, 2220 kJ of heat are evolved when 4 moles of H₂O are produced.
48.05 mol × 2220 kJ/4 mol = 2.667 × 10⁴ kJ ≈ 3 × 10⁴ kJ
