Answer:

Sound is a compressional wave, but the oscilloscope shows the compressional wave as a transversal wave.

Explanation:

The oscilloscope doesn't show the sound wave, it's showing the output of a microphone (or similar) which has converted the acoustic pressure wave to an electrical signal.

<span>The waveform shown on an oscilloscope is a signal graph of voltage as a function of time.

Such a signal isn't considered by the oscilloscope to be traveling, and hence the oscilloscope itself doesn't see the signal as a wave.

In the wire though, it "sort of" is a longitudinal wave of electrons...but then again, there is more to the story. There is also a radio EM wave in the surrounding electric and magnetic fields, and the engineers interested in long distance signal transmission study these fields to estimate velocity factor. </span>

OLga [1]

Answer:

5.9 kg

Explanation:

We must work backwards from the second step to work out the mass of oxygen.

1. Second step

Mᵣ: 55.84

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO₂

m/kg: 7.0

(a) Moles of Fe

$\text{Moles of FeO} = \text{7000 g Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Fe}}{\text{55.84 g Fe}} = \text{125 mol Fe}$

(b) Moles of CO

$\text{Moles of CO} = \text{125 mol Fe} \times \dfrac{\text{3 mol CO}}{\text{2 mol Fe}} = \text{188 mol CO}$

However, this is the theoretical yield.

The actual yield is 72. %.

We need more CO and Fe₂O₃ to get the theoretical yield of Fe.

(c) Percent yield

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Percent yield} &=& \dfrac{\text{ actual yield}}{\text{ theoretical yield}} \times 100 \, \%\\\\ 72. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.72 &= &\dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{0.72}\\& = & \textbf{261 mol}\\\\\end{array}$

We must use 261 mol of CO to get 7.0 kg of Fe.

2. First step

Mᵣ: 32.00

2C + O₂ ⟶ 2CO

n/mol: 261

(a) Moles of O₂

$\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{261 mol CO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol CO}} = \text{131 mol O}_{2}$

(b) Mass of O₂

$\text{Mass of O}_{2}= \text{131 mol O }_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{4180 g O}_{2}$

However, this is the theoretical yield.

The actual yield is 71. %.

We need more C and O₂ to get the theoretical yield of CO.

(c) Percent yield

$\begin{array}{rcl}71. \, \% & = & \dfrac{\text{188 mol}}{\text{actual yield}} \times 100 \,\%\\\\0.71 &= &\dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{\text{actual yield}}\\\\\text{Actual yield} & = & \dfrac{\text{4180 g}}{0.71}\\\\& = & \text{5900 g}\\& = & \textbf{5.9 kg}\\\end{array}$

We need 5.9 kg of O₂ to produce 7.0 kg of Fe.

the element chlorine is a gas. it's formula is cl2 . how many different masses of the cl2 molecule would you expect to find in a

RSB [31]

Answer:

the answer is 3.33⋅1023 molecules of Cl2. Note that 6.022⋅1023 is also known as Avogadro's number, and it can be referred to as the number of molecules in one mole of that substance. Also, I calculated 70.9 because 35.45 g/mol (the mass of one Chlorine atom) times 2 is 70.9 g/mol (Cl2 has two Chlorine atoms).

Which process is an example of a chemical change?

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

A is the closest thing. You change the composition of the steak. You don't in any of the others.

Explanation:

Usually when you cook something, you are doing something to the composition of the object being cooked. A steak might not be obvious, but boiling an egg should be.

Chopping a tree is something physical. You are removing mass in such a way that the tree will fall. There's nothing chemical about that.

Heating a cup of tea looks like it might be chemical. After all steam is sometimes given off which looks like it is chemical. It's not. The water in the tea is just changing phase.

Drying clothes in a dryer. Again, this looks like something might have changed. After all the mass of the clothes just became less. But all you are doing is separating two masses (leaving one of them behind).
