Describe how the properties of sound waves change as they spread in a spherical patter???

1 answer:

5 0

Sound spreads in the medium in the form of concentric spheres known as wave-fronts.
Now, as each wave-front expands, it moves away from the source of the sound and expands at a wider space. This means that its energy decreases and the sound becomes quieter.

So, overall, as sound spreads in spheres:
1- The energy per wave decreases
2- The amplitude of the wave decreases
3- The sound becomes quieter as the sphere moves further away from the source

Hope this helps :)

Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$4Zn_(_s_)~+~7OH^-~_(_a_q_)~+~NO_3^-_(_a_q_)~+~6H_2O_(_l_)~-->4Zn(OH)_4^-^2_(_a_q_)~+~NH_3_(_g_)$

-) Oxidizing agent: $NO_3^-_(_a_q_)$

-) Reducing agent: $Zn_(_s_)$

Explanation:

The first step is separate the reaction into the semireactions:

A. $Zn~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2$

B. $NO_3^-~->~NH_3$

If we want to balance in basic medium we have to follow the rules:

1. We adjust the oxygen with $OH^-$

2. We adjust the H with $H_2O$

3. We adjust the charge with $e^-$

Lets balance the first semireaction A. :

$Zn~+~4OH^-~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2e^-$

Now, lets balance semireaction B:

$NO_3^-~+~8e^-~+~6H_2O~->~NH_3~+~9OH^-$

Finally, we have to add the two semireactions:

_________________________________________

$8~(Zn~+~4OH^-~->Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2e^-)$

$2~(NO_3^-~+~8e^-~+~6H_2O~->~NH_3~+~9OH^-)$

_________________________________________

$(8Zn~+~32OH^-~->8Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~16e^-)$

$(2NO_3^-~+~16e^-~+~12H_2O~->~2NH_3~+~18OH^-)$

Cancel out the species on both sides:

$8Zn~+~14OH^-~+~2NO_3^-~+~12H_2O~-->8Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~2NH_3$

Simplifying the equation :

$4Zn~+~7OH^-~+~NO_3^-~+~6H_2O~-->4Zn(OH)_4^-^2~+~NH_3$

The $Zn_(_s_)$ is oxidized therefefore is the reducing agent. The $NO_3^-_(_a_q_)$ is reduced therefore is the oxidizing agent.

Where does oxidation occur in an electrochemical cell?

crimeas [40]

(3); try using the phrase "AN OX ate the RED CAT"
(anode=oxidation, reduction=cathode)

Based on its location on the period table what can most likely be predicted of phosphorus

Natalka [10]

Hi, I believe this question is asking what charge Phosphorus will have when it forms an ion. If that is the case, you will see that it based on the column it is in, neutral Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. When it becomes an ion (has 8 valence electrons), it will GAIN three electrons. Meaning, we can predict that Phosphorus will have a 3- charge when it becomes an ion.

Kaylis [27]

Physical changes occur when the properties of a substance are retained and/or the materials can be recovered after the change. Chemical changes involve the formation of a new substance. Formation of a gas, solid, light, or heat are possible evidence of chemical change.

If the pOH increases is a solution getting more basic or less basic?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Both acids and bases can measured

using the pH or pOH scale. Both

scales provide a measure of either

the H+ concentration or the OHconcentration.

Notice that each scale shows were

acids and bases both are located.

• When acids are measured, the

pH is less than 7, but the pOH

is greater than 7.

• When bases are measured,

the pH is greater than 7, but

the pOH is less than 7.

Both scales are dependent on what

ion you are measuring
