Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is a wave that produce from the oscillation of matter and transfer energy  through the medium.They are incapable of moving through vacuum.

Electromagnetic wave is a wave composed of two vectors vibrating perpendicular to each other in the same direction in which wave is moving.The two vectors are electric field and magnetic field.They are capable of travelling through vacuum.

Light wave is an electromagnetic wave.Electromagnetic waves can easily travel through space. Where as sound is a mechanical wave which requires medium to travel.

Hence, correct answer is option C.

<span>C) Sound is a mechanical wave and needs a medium to travel through while light is an electromagnetic wave. 

There is no air for the sound waves to travel, therefore, no sound waves being transmitted. </span>

The quantity of antimony in a sample can be determined by an oxidation–reduction titration with an oxidizing agent.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The percentage is   k  = 20.8%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the stibnite is  m_s  = 5.86 \ g

   The volume of   KBrO3(aq) is  V  = 26.6 mL =  26.6 *10^{-3} \ L

     The concentration  of   KBrO3(aq) is  C  = 0.125 M

Now the balanced ionic  equation for this reaction is

        BrO_3 ^{-}+ 3Sb^{3+} + 6H^{+}  \to  Br^{1-} + 3Sb^{5+} + 3H_2O

The number of moles of   BrO_3 ^{-} is  

     n =  C *V

substituting values

     n =  26.6*10^{-3} *  0.125

     n = 0.003325 \ mols

from the reaction we see that 1 mole of BrO_3 ^{-}  reacts with 3 moles of  Sb^{3+}

so 0.003325 moles will react with x moles of  Sb^{3+}

Therefore

               x = \frac{0.003325 * 3}{1}

              x = 0.009975 \ mols

Now the molar mass of Sb^{3+} is a constant with a values of  Z =  121.76 \  g/mol

Generally the mass of  Sb^{3+} is mathematically represented as

        m  =  x * Z

substituting values

        m  =  1.215 \ g

The percentage of  Sb(antimony) in the overall mass of the stibnite is mathematically evaluated as

            k  = \frac{1.215}{5.85 } * 100

           k  = 20.8%

Determine the mass of 5.2 x 10 power of 21 molecules of propanol C3H7OH(l), on grams.
Alja [10]

n(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}) = N(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}) / N_A\\ \phantom{n(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH})} = 5.2 \times 10^{21} / (6.02 \times 10^{23})\\ \phantom{n(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH})} = 8.6 \times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol}

where N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{23}\; \text{mol}^{-1} the Avogadro's constant that relates the number of particles to their number, in the unit moles \text{mol}.

The molar mass of propanol- mass per mole propanol- can be directly deduced from its molecular formula with reference to a modern periodic table.

M(\text{C}_3\text{H}_7\text{OH}) = \underbrace{3 \times 12.01}_{\text{carbon}} + \underbrace{8 \times 1.008}_{\text{hydrogen}} + \underbrace{1\times 16.00}_{\text{oxygen}} = 60.09 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1}

8.6 \times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} of propanol molecules would thus have a mass of 8.6 \times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} \times 60.09 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} = 0.52 \; \text{g}
