<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.

A student increases the temperature of a 200^3 cm balloon from 60°C to 120°C. What will the new volume of the balloon be? (Be ca
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume V1 = 200cm³

Initial temperature = 60°C

Final temperature = 120°C

Unknown:

Final volume = ?

Solution:

According to Charles law, at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature.

mathematically;

    \frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} }  = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

1 and 2 are the initial and final states

V is the volume and T is the temperature

convert the temperature to kelvin

T1 = 60 + 273 = 333K

 T2 = 120 + 273 = 393K

Input the parameters;

\frac{200}{333}  = \frac{V_{2} }{393}

 final volume is 236cm³

Consider this reaction: NH4 HPO42− → NH3 H2PO4− Which is the Bronsted-Lowry acid ? NH4 HPO42- HPO42– H2PO4–.
kvv77 [185]

Bronsted - Lowry acid in the given reaction is NH₄, as it gives H⁺ ion.

<h3>What is Bronsted - Lowry acid?</h3>

According to the theory of Bronsted - Lowry, acids are those substances which gives H⁺ ion or proton in the aqueous medium.

Given chemical reaction is :

NH₄ + HPO₄²⁻ → NH₃ + H₂PO₄⁻

In the above reaction NH₄ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid as it gives H⁺ ion in the reaction and changes to NH₃ which is the conjugate base of NH₄. Whereas HPO₄²⁻ is the  Bronsted - Lowry base as it accepts the H⁺ ion to form H₂PO₄⁻ which is the conjugate acid of it.

Hence, option (1) is correct, i.e. NH₄ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid.
