Answer:

P waves move straight through all medium and S waves move only through solids in a curvy motion.

Explanation:

P waves are compression waves, this means that they can travel through all mediums, and all cores of earth, including the inner core, while S waves can only travel through solids, this makes them much more slower. P waves for example can be trackable on the other side of the earth from where the earthquake´s epicenter is, because they travel through the core of the earth, while S waves are only detectable near the epicenter of the earthquake.

PV = nRT. If P = 1 atm, V = 5.0 liter, R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K, and T = 293 K; what is the value of n?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

n = 0.207 mole

Explanation:

We have,

P = 1 atm

V = 5 liter

R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = 293 K

We need to find the value of n. The relation is as follows :

PV = nRT

Solving for n,

n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1\times 5}{0.0821 \times 293}\\\\n=0.207\ \text{mol}

So, the value of n is 0.207 mol.

What state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
anastassius [24]

Solids have a definite shape and volume. They are always the same shape no matter what they are contained in; their volume is also the same because they don't change unless you add or take away from it.

____________________________________________________________

Liquids have an indefinite shape but definite volume. They expand to fill out the space they are contained in, but their volume doesn't change unless you take out or add more of the liquid.

Gases have an indefinite shape and volume. Gases expand to fill out the space they are in and also don't have a clear shape because they are not always in one form.
