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.

Rashid [163]

Answer: Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either. Start with your 2 half reactions: I- --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ Balance O by adding H2O: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance H by adding H+: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance charge by adding e-: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e- Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give: Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O

A gas exerts a pressure of 350.0 torr at 20.0 Celsius. What would be the new pressure in atmospheres if the temperature is raise

IgorC [24]

Answer:

373.88 torr

Explanation:

P1 = 350 torr

T1 = 20°C = (20 + 273.15)K = 293.15K

P2 = ?

T2 = 40°C = (40 + 273.15)K = 313.15K

From pressure law,

Pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

P = KT

K = P / T

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

Solve for P2

P2 = (P1 * T2) / T1

P2 = (350 * 313.15) / 293.15

P2 = 109602.5 / 293.15

P2 = 373.878 torr

P2 = 373.88 torr

The new pressure of the gas would be 373.88 torr.

Oxygen gas is collected at a pressure of 123 kPa in a container which has a volume of 10.0L. What temperature must be maintained

Morgarella [4.7K]

Given:

P = 123 kPa
V = 10.0 L
n = 0.500 moles
T = ?

Assume that the gas ideally, thus, we can use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where R = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

123 kPa * 1 atm/101.325 kPa * 10.0 L = 0.500 moles * 0.0821 Latm/molK * T

solve for T

T = 295.72 K

Select the correct answer. Based on the reactivities of the elements involved, which reaction will form products that are more s

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation: Reactivity of elements is defined as the tendency to loose or gain electrons.

These reactions are a type of single displacement reactions. A single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which an element displaces another element in a chemical reaction. These are studied with the help of reactivity series.

The element which lies above in the reactivity series can easily displace the element which lies below in the reactivity series.

Option A: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Zinc lies below Aluminium in the reactivity series.

$AlBr_3+Zn\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Option B: This reaction will yield a stable product because Sodium lies above Calcium in the reactivity series.

$CaBr_2+2Na\rightarrow 2NaBr+Ca$

Option C: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Hydrogen lies below Magnesium in the reactivity series.

$MgBr_2+H_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Option D: This reaction will not yield a stable product because Calcium lies below Barium in the reactivity series.

$BaBr_2+Ca\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Option E: This reaction will not yield a stable product because barium lies below Lithium in the reactivity series.

$2LiBr+Ba\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$
