Question: A boy swimming in a lake smacks the surface of the water with his hand, creating sound waves that travel through the w

ater and air. Which will hear the sound sooner, a fish swimming 5 m below the surface of the water, or a bird flying 5 m above the surface of the water? Justify your answer by discussing how sound travels through a medium.

<span>The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s, while the speed of sound in water is about 1,500 m/s. In general, sound travels faster in denser media, so the fish hears the noise first.</span>

3. If you start with 8x1025 molecules of Cl, and 25 grams of KI, how many grams of KCl would
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Percent yield = 89.1%

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂

<em>1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 2 moles of KI to produce to moles of KCl</em>

<em />

To solve this quesiton we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant. With the limiting reactant we can find the moles of KCl and the mass:

<em>Moles Cl₂:</em>

8x10²⁵ molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³ molecules) = 133 moles

<em>Moles KI -Molar mass: 166.0028g/mol-</em>

25g * (1mol / 166.0028g) = 0.15 moles

Here, clarely, the KI is the limiting reactant

As 2 moles of KI produce 2 moles of KCl, the moles of KCl produced are 0.15 moles. The theoretical mass is:

0.15 moles * (74.5513g / mol) =

11.2g KCl

Percent yield is: Actual yield (10.0g) / Theoretical yield (11.2g) * 100

<h3>Percent yield = 89.1%</h3>

the pressure in a sealed plastic container is 108 kPa at 41 degrees Celsius. What is the pressure when the temperature drops to
Katarina [22]

<u>Answer:</u> The new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume.

The equation given by this law is:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are initial pressure and temperature.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are final pressure and temperature.

We are given:

By using conversion factor:   T(K)=T(^oC)+273

P_1=108kPa\\T_1=41^oC=314K\\P_2=?kPa\\T_2=22^oC=295K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{108kPa}{314K}=\frac{P_2}{295K}\\\\P_2=101.46kPa

Hence, the new pressure will be 101.46 kPa.

An explanation of what will happen every time in a specific situation
kramer
The one that is being described above is what we call SCIENTIFIC LAW. Scientific law is what explains of what will happen every time in a certain situation. This is also different from scientific theory since scientific theory only gives an explanation to a group of happenings and this can still be modified. Hope this helps.

Refer to the following table for information about gold and mercury. Then choose which statements are true about equal sample si
babymother [125]
Below are the choices:

A The mercury will change temperature at a much faster rate under the same heating conditions. 
<span>B The two metal samples will change temperature at about the same rate. </span>
<span>C The gold would float if placed in the mercury. </span>
<span>D The gold would sink to the bottom if placed in the mercury.
</span>
  <span>a = false, it will take 0.031 cal to raise 1g Au 1degree while it will take 0.033 cal to raise 1g Hg 1 degree so, although Au will heat up faster, it will not be discernably faster so... 
b = true 
c = false, Au density > Hg 
d = true</span>

How many formula units are in 2.0 mol of sodium chloride (NaCl)​
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Hence mass of 2 moles of NaCl is 117g. The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol. To calculate mass in grams, multiply the given moles by the molar mass.
