The answer is: A) epicenter.

Seismometer is an instrument that measures ground motions and the point where an earthquake originates (epicenter).

It is build of a mass attached to a fixed base; during an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not.

Seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. Then, scientists determine how fast the waves are traveling and at the end calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.

What things typically are counted in multiples or fractions of moles
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Individually well, defined identical chemically units such as molecules, ions, atoms, or electrons

Explanation:

The mole is used as the unit of measurement for substance such as molecules, ions, atoms, or electrons. One mole of a substance is equivalent to 6.02×10²³ particles of the substance. The number, 6.02 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number.

The particles quantified as moles are individually well, defined identical chemically units such that the mole can be used to describe a part of a substance or the whole substance consisting of several moles of the substance combined.

Okay so this is half math half chemistry...
AleksandrR [38]
So you need to find the volume in L? If so:
Convert the mass of Lithium Bromide into moles by dividing the 100 grams by the molar mass of LiBr, taken from the periodic table 
In a solution, moles = (concentration in mole/L) x (volume in L)
We know the moles, we have the concentration in mole/L, now find the volume in L, and you should get 0.288. Plz do the math and check for yourself

The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is r
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol

Explanation:

The complete question is: An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.

Step 1: Data given

Mass % of Carbon = 31.57 %

Mass % of H = 5.30 %

Freezing point = -5.20 °C

10.56 grams of the compound dissolved in 25.0 grams of water

Kf water = 1.86 °C kg/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of Carbon

Suppose 31.57% = 31.57 grams

moles C = mass C / Molar mass C

moles C = 31.57 grams / 12.0 g/mol = 2.63 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of Hydrogen:

Moles H = 5.30 grams / 1.01 g/mol

moles H = 5.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Oxygen

Moles O = ( 100 - 31.57 - 5.30) / 16 g/mol

Moles O = 3.95 moles

Step 5: We divide by the smallest number of moles

C: 2.63 / 2.63 = 1 → 2

H: 5.25/2.63 = 2 → 4

O: 3.95/ 2.63 = 1.5 → 3

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molar mass of the empirical formula = 76 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate moles solute

Freezing point depression = 5.20 °C = m * 1.86

m = 5.20 / 1.86

m = 2.80 molal = 2.80 moles / kg

2.80 molal * 0.025 kg = 0.07 moles

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 10.56 grams / 0.07 moles

Molar mass = 151 g/mol

Step 8: Calculate molecular formula

151 / 76 ≈  2

We have to multiply the empirical formula by 2

2*(C2H4O3) = C4H8O6

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol
