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>

a student balanced the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with oxygen by writing Mg + O2 ----&gt; MgO2. What is wro
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium when it oxidizes has a valence of 2.

Oxygen, when it mixes with something, has a valence of - 2

So Mg and O2 will form something, but what? The answer is MgO

Mg + O2 ===> MgO

To balance this equation, you need 2 Magnesiums on the right and 2 Oxygens also on the right. The left will need a  two Magnesiums.

The balanced equation will be

2Mg + O2 ====> 2MgO

When 7.94 g of xylene was added to 132.5 g of cyclohexane, the freezing point of the solution was -4.9oC. What is the molar mass
777dan777 [17]
Answer is: molar mass of xylene 106,18 g/mol.
m(xylene) = 7,94 g.
m(cyclohexane) = 132,5 g.
T (solution) = - 4,9 °C.
Tf(cyclohexane) = 6,5 °C, frezing point.
Kf(cyclohexane) = 20,2 K·kg/mol; cryoscopic constant.
ΔT(solution) = 6,5°C - (-4,9°C) = 11,4°C = 11,4 K.
M(xylene) = Kf · m(xylene) ÷ m(cyclohexane) · ΔT(solution).
M(xylene) = 20,2 K·kg/mol · 7,94 g ÷ 0,1325 kg · 11,4 K.
M(xylene) = 106,18 g/mol.

A 10-gram aluminum cube absorbs 677 joules when its temperature is increased from 50°C to 125°C. What is the specific heat of al
ra1l [238]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.90J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given:

Mass of Aluminium = 10 g

Quantity of heat = 677 Joules

Change in temperature = 125°C - 50°C

                                      = 75°C

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of Aluminium

But, Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat × Change in temperature

Q = mcΔt

Rearranging the formula;

c = Q ÷ mΔt

  = 677 J ÷ (10 g × 75°C)

  = 677 J ÷ 750g°C

  = 0.903 J/g°C

  = 0.90J/g°C

Thus, the specific heat capacity of Aluminium is 0.90J/g°C
