Answer:

Seismic waves

Explanation:

The seismic P and S waves are two waves that releases energy during propagation, resulting in the sudden shaking of the earth, which is commonly known as the earthquake.

The point from which the earthquake originates, is known as the focus and the location that is directly above the focus, on the ground surface is known as the epicenter.

The P waves and S waves are primary and secondary waves respectively. The P waves are characterized by the contraction and expansion in its direction of propagation. Whereas the S waves are shear waves.

The molarity of a 2 liter aqueous solution that contains 222.2 grams of dissolved calcium chloride ( CaCl2), expressed with two
sveta [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1 M

Explanation:

Data

Molarity = ?

mass of CaCl₂ = 222.2 g

Volume = 2 l

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of CaCl₂

CaCl₂ = 40 + (35.5 x 2) = 40 + 71 = 111 g

2.- Calculate the moles of CaCl₂

                    111g of CaCl₂ ---------------- 1 mol

              222.2 f of CaCl₂  ----------------  x

                      x = (222.2 x 1) / 111

                      x = 222.2 / 111

                      x = 2 moles

3.- Calculate the Molarity

Molarity = moles / Volume

-Substitution

Molarity = 2/2

-Result

Molarity = 1

You check the air pressure in your car tires on Monday morning and the pressure
olga55 [171]
In warmer weather gases tend to expand and take up more room, thus increasing pressure. but in colder weather they will condense or contract and take up less space, therefore lowering the pressure of the tire in this situation.
