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.

if you mixed 72.9g hydrochloric acid(aq) with 150g silver acetate(aq), what would be the limiting reagent?​
horsena [70]

Answer:

                      Silver Acetate would be the Limiting Reagent.

Explanation:

                    The balance chemical equation for the given double displacement reaction is as;

                            HCl + AgC₂H₃O₂ → AgCl + HC₂H₃O₂

Step 1: <u>Calculate Moles of Starting Materials:</u>

Moles of HCl:

                      Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass

                      Moles  =  72.9 g / 36.46

                      Moles =  1.99 moles

Moles of AgC₂H₃O₂:

                      Moles  =  150 g / 166.91 g/mol

                      Moles  =  0.898 moles

Step 2: <u>Find out Limiting reagent as:</u>

According to balance chemical equation.

              1 mole of HCl reacts with  =  1 mole of AgC₂H₃O₂

So,

         1.99 moles of HCl will react with  =  X moles of AgC₂H₃O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.99 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

                     X =  1.99 mol of AgC₂H₃O₂

Hence, to completely consume 1.99 moles of Hydrochloric acid we will require 1.99 moles of Silver Acetate, But, we are provided with only 0.898 moles of Silver Acetate. This means Silver Acetate will consume first in the reaction therefore, it is the LIMITING REAGENT.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Methanol would be used as a reagent in excess, since it is a very low-cost solvent. For product isolation, the first thing to do is remove the methanol through a distillation process. The residue produced can be dissolved in diethyl ether. Using a NaHCO₃ solution, extraction is performed. When it separates into two phases, the product will be in the ether and the reagent in the aqueous phase. The ether can also be removed by distillation, and at the end of this process you will have the product you want.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction:Mg + 2HCl → H2 + MgCl2?
krok68 [10]
The law of conservation of mass applies to every reaction. In this case, you start with 1 Mg, 2 H, and 2CL and end up with the same five only their bonds have been rearranged, or in other words, they are joined up differently.

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 1100 bar to 75.5 bar, the temperature changes from k to 2
Serjik [45]
Gay-Lussac's law gives the relationship between pressure and temperature of gas. For a fixed amount of gas, pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
P/T = k
where P - pressure , T - temperature and k - constant
\frac{P1}{T1} =  \frac{P2}{T2}
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
substituting the values in the equation 
\frac{1100 bar}{T}  =  \frac{75.5 bar}{298 K}
T = 4342 K
initial temperature was 4342 K

A multivitamin tablet contains 40 milligrams of potassium. how many moles of potassium does each tablet contain?
katrin2010 [14]
Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
                = 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
 K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium
