3) List two other names for P-waves and for S-waves.

1 answer:

5 0

3. Other names for S- waves are secondary waves, shear waves, and sometimes elastic S-waves. Other names for P-waves are primary waves and compressional waves.
4. You need 3 stations, because scientists find the difference between the arrival times of the primary and the secondary waves at each of the 3 stations, then the time difference is used to determine the distance of the epicentre from each station. The greater the difference in time, the further away the epicentre is. A circle is drawn around each station, with a radius corresponding to the epicentre’s distance from that station. The point where the three circles meet is the epicentre. If you only had two stations, you could only predict the epicentre, as the point where all three circles meet wouldn’t be complete, you’d have to try and estimate where the third one would intercept. This would greaten the chance of error and isn’t as accurate.

Hope this helps!

Which has the higher percentage of aluminum, Al2O, or Al(NO3)3

Rzqust [24]

Al₂O has a higher percentage of aluminium.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to compare the molar mass of the aluminium in each compound to one another as percentage of the whole compound:

Molar mass of Al₂O = 2(27) + 16 = 70g/mol

Molar mass of Al(NO₃)₃ = 27 + 3[14 + 3(16)] = 213g/mol

Percentage by mass of Al in Al₂O = $\frac{2x27}{70}$ x 100 = 77%

Percentage by mass of Al in Al(NO₃)₃ = $\frac{27}{213}$ x 100 = 12.7%

Al₂O has a higher percentage of aluminium.

For the reaction H2PO4- HAsO4 2-HPO4 2-+H2AsO4- what species are a conjugate acid-base pair?

aleksklad [387]

Ionic equation:

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-} + \text{HAsO}_4^{2-} \to \text{HPO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$

The acid and base in a conjugate pair differ by only one proton $\text{H}^{+}$ . The acid loses one proton to produce a conjugate base, whereas the base gains a proton to produce its conjugate acid.

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-}$ loses one proton to produce $\text{HPO}_4^{2-}$ in this reaction.

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-} \to \text{H}^{+} + \text{HPO}_4^{2-}$

Meanwhile, $\text{HAsO}_4^{2-}$ gains one proton to form $\text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$ .

$\text{HAsO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}^{+} \to \text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$

Therefore

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-}$ is the conjugate acid $\text{HPO}_4^{2-}$ , its conjugate base.
$\text{HAsO}_4^{2-}$ is the conjugate base of $\text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$ , its conjugate acid.

How many moles of Al will be consumed when 0.400 mol of Al2O3 are produced in

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

C) 0.800 mol

Explanation:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

In order to convert from moles of Al₂O₃ into moles of Al, we'll need to use the stoichiometric coefficients, using a conversion factor that has Al₂O₃ moles in the denominator and Al moles in the numerator:

0.400 mol Al₂O₃ * $\frac{4molAl}{2molAl_2O_3}$ = 0.800 mol Al

So the correct answer is option C).

Cool air over warm water will:

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Air and Water Temperature Increases

An increase in the air temperature will cause water temperatures to increase as well. ... Lower levels of dissolved oxygen due to the inverse relationship that exists between dissolved oxygen and temperature. As the temperature of the water increases, dissolved oxygen levels decrease.
