<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.41 seconds longer

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Sound is a longitudinal wave that requires a material medium for transmission hence called a mechanical wave.
  • Examples of medium in which sound travels in are water and air.

From the question give;

Speed of sound in air at 20°C is 343 m/s

Speed of sound in water at 20°C is 1,483 m/s

We are given a distance of 10 Km or 10,000 m

We need to finder how much longer it will take for the sound to travel in air.

Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Therefore;

Time taken in Air = Distance ÷ speed of sound in air

                             = 10000 m ÷ 343 m/s

                             = 29.15 seconds

Time taken in water = Distance ÷ speed of sound in water

                                 = 10,000 ÷ 1,483 m/s

                                 = 6.74 seconds

Difference in time = 29.15 seconds - 6.74 seconds

                              = 22.41 seconds

Therefore, it takes 22.41 seconds longer for sound to travel through air than water.

What would be the mass of 9.03*10^21 molecules of hydrobromic acid
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

2.11 g hydrobromic acid (correct to 3SF)

Explanation:

Molecular formula of hydrobromic acid = C2H5BrO2

mass of C2H5BrO2 = 140.96g

Beginning with what we're given, 9.03*10^21 we then make a conversion by using Avegadro's number which is 6.02*10^23 per mole (Oct. 23 at 6:02 am is national mole day :) Then, we need to convert out of moles, 140.96g hydrombromic acid per mole.

It looks like this:

9.03*10^21 molecules • (1 mol C2H5BrO2 / 6.02*10^23 molecules) • (140g C2H5BrO2 / 1 mol) = 2.1144 g C2H5BrO2

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. He carefully weighs out 28.mg of oxalic acid H2C2
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

  • The molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution is 0.0219 M

Explanation:

<u>1) Chemical reaction.</u>

a) Kind of reaction: neutralization

b) General form: acid + base → salt + water

c) Word equation:

  • sodium hydroxide + oxalic acid → sodium oxalate + water

d) Chemical equation:

  • NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + H₂O

b) Balanced chemical equation:

  • 2NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O

<u>2) Mole ratio</u>

  • 2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄ :1 mol Na₂C₂O₄ : 2 mol H₂O

<u>3) Starting amount of oxalic acid</u>

  • mass = 28 mg = 0.028 g
  • molar mass = 90.03 g/mol
  • Convert mass in grams to number of moles, n:

        n = mass in grams / molar mass = 0.028 g / 90.03 g/mol =  0.000311 mol

<u>4) Titration</u>

  • Volume of base: 28.4 mL = 0.0248 liter
  • Concentration of base: x (unknwon)

  • Number of moles of acid: 2.52 mol (calculated above)
  • Proportion using the theoretical mole ratio (2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄)

\frac{2}{1} =\frac{x}{2.52}\\ \\ \\x=0.000311(2)=0.000622

That means that there are 0.000622 moles of NaOH (solute)

<u>5) Molarity of NaOH solution</u>

  • M = n / V (liter) = 0.000622 mol / 0.0284 liter = 0.0219 M

That is the correct number using <em>three signficant figures</em>, such as the starting data are reported.
