<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.

67.4 L of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas at 0.0C and at 1 atm of pressure is equivalent aren’t to how many moles?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Solution here,

Volume(V)=67.4 L

Pressure(P)=1 atm

Temperature(T)=(0+273)K=273K

Universal gas constant(R)=0.0821 L.atm.mol^-1K^-1

No. of moles(n)=?

Now,

PV=nRT

or, 1×67.4=n×0.0821×273

or, 67.4=22.4n

or, n=67.4/22.4

or, n=3

therefore, required no. of mole is 3.

Calculate the molarity 20ml of 3.5 m kci in to a final volume of 100 ml​
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Molarity =  0.7 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of KCl = 20 mL ( 0.02 L)

Molarity = 3.5 M

Final volume = 100 mL (0.1 L)

Molarity in 100 mL = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume in litter.

First of all we will determine the number of moles of KCl available.

Number of moles = molarity × volume in litter

Number of moles = 3.5 M × 0.02 L

Number of moles = 0.07 mol

Molarity in 100 mL.

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Molarity =  0.07 mol /0.1 L

Molarity =  0.7 M
