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.

Assuming the boiling point increased by 2 °C, what is the approximate molality of NaCl when the video ends? Kbp(water) = 0.512
makkiz [27]

Answer : The molality of NaCl is, 1.95 mol/kg

Explanation :

Formula used for Elevation in boiling point :

\Delta T_b=i\times k_b\times m

where,

\Delta T_b = change in boiling point = 2^oC

k_b = boiling point constant  for water = 0.512^oC/m

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2 (for electrolyte)

The dissociation NaCl will be,

NaCl\rightarrow Na^++Cl^{-}

So, Van't Hoff factor = Number of solute particles = Na^++Cl^{-} = 1 + 1 = 2

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

2^oC=2\times (0.512^oC/m)\times m

m=1.95mol/kg

Therefore, the molality of NaCl is, 1.95 mol/kg

What kind of reaction happens when two compounds switch elements? Apex
maw [93]

Answer:

A replacement reaction occurs when elements switch places in compounds. This type of reaction involves ions. Generally, more reactive elements replace less reactive elements. A single replacement reaction occurs when one element replaces another element in one compound.

Which two processes of the water cycle absorb energy from the Sun?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: of Earth's atmosphere occurs as energy, primarily from the sun, causes liquid water to transform to another phase. As this occurs, liquid water absorbs energy, causing it to evaporate and form water vapor. The process of evaporation absorbs tremendous amounts of incoming solar energy.
