Answer:

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake, he is studying mechanical wave.

Explanation:

The shock waves are experienced during earthquake. At the area of increased pressure shock wave are created as the object in that places moves faster as compared to the speed of sound. Shock wave are type of mechanical wave. For its transfer it requires a medium. An electromagnetic wave can travel of its own without any medium, under electromagnetic wave gamma ray and radio wave comes. they are transverse wave.

The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.30 days. how many milligrams of a 20.00 mg sample of phosphorus-32 will remain after 85.80

ZanzabumX [31]

The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

Which formula is an empirical formula?

poizon [28]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.

$MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)$

We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.

Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)

A. $N_{2}O_{4}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})$

B. $NH_{3}$

It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.

C. $C_{3}H_{6}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$C_{3}H_{6}=3(CH_{2})$

D. $P_{4}O_{10}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$P_{4}O_{10}=2(P_{2}O_{5})$

Hence, the empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

Have a nice day!

What is one example of an everyday molecule?

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

Just to provide some background, an element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom. An atom is the smallest constituent of matter. All elements are comprised of a single type of atom (e.g., gold is composed of gold atoms, helium of helium atoms, phosphorus phosphorus, and so on).

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms. They can be the same atom (homonuclear), such as or different atoms (heteronuclear).

Some examples of homonuclear molecules include:

Hydrogen (H2)

Nitrogen (N2)

Phosphorus (P4)

Some examples of heteronuclear molecules include:

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

Methane (CH4)
