Why are scientists now more excited about sound levitation than they had been previously?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Acoustic tractor beams use the power of sound to hold particles in mid-air, and unlike magnetic levitation, they can grab most solids or liquids even small insects. For the first time engineers have shown it is possible to stably trap objects larger than the wavelength of sound in an acoustic tractor beam. This discovery could enable the manipulation of drug capsules or micro-surgical implements within the body. The discovery could even lead to levitating humans.

A gaseous mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a

Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass percentage of $CH_4$ = 20 %

So, mole fraction of $CH_4$ = 0.2

Mass percentage of $C_2H_4$ = 30 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_4$ = 0.3

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2$ = 35 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2$ = 0.35

Mass percentage of $C_2H_2O$ = 15 %

So, mole fraction of $C_2H_2O$ = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of $CH_4$ = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_4$ = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2$ = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of $C_2H_2O$ = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}$

where,

$\chi_i$ = mole fractions of i-th species

$m_i$ = molar masses of i-th species

$n_i$ = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

$\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}$

$\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75$

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

How does energy change when it moves?

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Moving objects contain energy. The faster the object moves, the more energy it has. ... Energy can be converted from one form to another form. Kinetic energy can be distinguished from the various forms of potential energy.
