Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is true that sound travels faster in solids. This is because in solid substances, molecules are much closer to each other due to which transfer of energy is much faster.

On the other hand, molecules in a liquid and gas are farther apart from each other due to which there will be less transfer of energy. As a result, sound does not travel quickly through liquids and gases.

Thus, we can conclude that sound travels most quickly through solids because the molecules in solids are very close together.

Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____.

answer is: because solids r the most sense.

The distance between molecules in solids r very small.Because they are so close, they can collide very quickly, i.e. it takes less time for a molecule of the solid to 'bump' into its neighbor. Solids are packed together tighter than liquids and gases, hence sound travels fastest in solids.

TRIPLE POINTS!!! I NEED HELP!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN TOO!!! What is the energy of a quantum of light with a frequency of 4.31 x 1014 1
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The answer is

2.86 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  \: J

Explanation:

The energy of a quantum of light can be found by using the formula

<h3>E = hf</h3>

where

E is the energy

f is the frequency

h is the Planck's constant which is

6.626 × 10-³⁴ Js

From the question

f = 4.31 × 10¹⁴ Hz

We have

E = 4.31 × 10¹⁴ × 6.626 × 10-³⁴

We have the final answer as

2.86 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  \: J

Hope this helps you

Combustion analysis of a 13.42-g sample of the unknown organic compound (which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) produ
kirza4 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The molecular formula for the given organic compound is C_{18}H_{20}O_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=39.61g

Mass of H_2O=9.01g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 39.61 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 39.61=10.80g of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 9.01 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 9.01=1.00g of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.42) - (10.80 + 1.00) = 1.62 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = \frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{10.80g}{12g/mole}=0.9moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1g}{1g/mole}=1moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.62g}{16g/mole}=0.10moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.10 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.9}{0.10}=9

For Hydrogen = \frac{1}{0.10}=10

For Oxygen = \frac{0.10}{0.10}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 9 : 10 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_9H_{10}O

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 268.34 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 134 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{268.34g/mol}{134g/mol}=2

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(9\times 2)}H_{(10\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_{18}H_{20}O_2

Thus, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is C_{18}H_{20}O_2.
