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.

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa

A system gains 687 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to 156 kJ. How much work is done?
Maslowich

Answer:

w = -531 kJ

1. Work was done by the system.

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Heat gained by the system (q): 687 kJ (By convention, when the system absorbs heat, q > 0).
  • Change in the internal energy of the system (ΔU°): 156 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the work done (w)

We will use the following expression.

ΔU° = q + w

w = ΔU° - q

w = 156 kJ - 687 kJ

w = -531 kJ

By convention, when w < 0, work is done by the system on the surroundings.

Match the following with their correct molecular weight. 2-butanone Propyl acetate 4-methyl-2-pentanone Butyl acetate Methanol E
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

2-butanone = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate  = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol  = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2:

2-butanone = C4H8O

⇒ 4*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 16.00 = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = C5H10O2

⇒ 5*12.01 + 10*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = C6H12O

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 16.00 = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = C6H12O2

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = CH3OH = CH4O

⇒ 12.01 + 4*1.01 + 16.00 = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = C2H5OH = C2H6O

⇒ 2*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 16.00 = 46.07 g/mol (option A)
