Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o

nly information on each sample's label is the material's coefficient of absorption. The coefficient of absorption listed on Sample A is 30%, on Sample B is 47%, and on Sample C is 62%. When your boss asks for your choice and the reasoning behind it, what would you tell him? A. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest. B. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest. C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest. D. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.

My Choice will be the sample C with a coefficient of absorption 62 % and the reason is that the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest. Because this sample has the highest percentage of the coefficient of absorption than the other samples, As the sound Absorption coefficient is a part of the sound energy that absorbed by a material.And Its value varies with the angles of incident and frequency. So sample C is the best to be used as a soundproof room.

Pure acetic acid (hc2h3o2) is a liquid and is known as glacial acetic acid. calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dis
Alexandra [31]
In order to find the molarity of the solution, we first require the moles of acetic acid added. For this,we need the mass which is:

Mass = volume * density

Mass = 50 * 1.05
Mass = 52.5 grams


Moles = mass / molecular weight

Moles = 52.5 / 60.05 
Moles = 0.874 mol

Next, we know that the molarity of a solution is:

Molarity = moles / liter
Molarity = 0.874 / 0.5

Molarity = 1.75 M

Which of the following reasons best explains why it is possible to separate a 1:1 mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol by fra
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The boiling point of 1-chlorobutane is substantially lower than that of 1-butanol

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is a separation process based on difference in boiling point of two compounds.

1-chlorobutane is a polar aprotic molecule due to presence of polar C-Cl bond. Hence  dipole-dipole intermolecular force exists in 1-chlorobutane as a major force.

1-butanol is a polar protic molecule. Hence dipole-dipole force along with hydrogen bonding exist in 1-butanol.

Therefore intermolecular force is stronger in 1-butanol as compared to 1-chlorobutane.

So, boiling point of 1-butanol is much higher than 1-chlorobutane.

Hence mixture of 1-chlorobutane and 1-butanol can be separated by fractional distillation based on difference in boiling point.

So, option (D) is correct.

Give the ΔH value for the formation of binary compounds as shown in the reaction H2(s)+Br2(g)→2HBr(s)+36.3kJ.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

ΔH = - 36.3 kJ

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is as follows -

H₂ (s) + Br₂ (g) ------>  2HBr (s) + 36.3 kJ

In the above equation , the amount of energy i.e. 36.3 kJ is released , i.e. it is in the product side , hence , the reaction is an example of an exothermic reaction .

Hence ,

The value of the change in enthalphy , i.e. , the enthalpy of product minus the enthalpy of the product .

Therefore ,

The value of the change in enthalphy = - ve .

Hence ,

ΔH = - 36.3 kJ

Calculate the volume of a sample of aluminum that has a mass of 3.057 kg. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm3 (taking into con
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

v = 1130 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of sample = ?

Mass of Al sample = 3.057 Kg (3.057 Kg× 1000g/1 Kg = 3057g)

Density of Al sample = 2.70 g/cm³

Solution:

Formula:

d = m/v

d = density

m = mass

v= volume

by putting values

2.70 g/cm³ = 3057g /v

v = 3057g /2.70 g/cm³

v = 1130 cm³

Please help. <br> Thanks:)

D is true because NO2 is a catalyst, and a catalyst is a compound which makes a reaction occur faster (not necessarily more effectively, creating more product, but it decreases the amount of time it takes).
