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.

Softa [21]
Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz

Elena L [17]
Let us differentiate accuracy from precision. Accuracy is the nearness of the measured value to the true or exact value. On the other hand, precision is the nearness of the measured values between each other. So, for precision, select the student in which the measured values are very near to each other. That would be Student III. Now, for accuracy, let's find the average for each student.

Student I: (<span>8.72g+8.74g+8.70g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student II: (</span><span>8.56g+8.77g+8.83g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student III: (</span><span>8.50g+8.48g+8.51g)/3 = 8.50 g
Student IV: (</span><span>8.41g+8.72g+8.55g)/3 = 8.56 g

From the given results, the accurate one would be Students I and II. So, we make a compromise. Even though Student III is precise, it is not accurate. If you compare between Students I and II, the more precise data would be Student I. Therefore, the answer is Student I.</span>

Can you describe the situations when Greek prefixes are used?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

1. Binary covalent compounds

For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

2. Hydrates

For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.

zysi [14]

<span>Chemical reaction: CH</span>₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ CH₃COOH(aq).

H⁺ is from HNO₃: HNO₃ → H⁺ + NO₃⁻.

<span>A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H</span>⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.
