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.

How long does it take to electroplate 0.5 mm of gold on an object with a surface area of 31 cm^^ from an Au3+(aq) solution with

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

It will take 5492 seconds to electroplate 0.5 mm of gold on an object .

Explanation:

Mass of gold = m

Volume of gold = v

Surface area on which gold is plated = $a=31 cm^2$

Thickness of the gold plating = h = 0.5 mm = 0.05 cm

1 mm = 0.1 cm

$V=a\times h=31 cm^2\times 0.05 cm=1.55 cm^3$

Density of the gold = $d=19.3 g/cm^3$

$m=d\times v=19.3 g/cm^3\times 1.55 cm^3=29.915g$

Moles of gold = $\frac{29.915 g}{197 g/mol}=0.152 mol$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au$

According to reaction, 1 mole of gold required 3 moles of electrons,then 0.152 moles of gold will require :

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.152 mol=0.456 mol$ of electrons

Number of electrons = N = $0.456\times \times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

Charge on single electron = $q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Total charge required = Q

$Q=N\times q$

Amount of current passes = I = 8 Ampere

Duration of time = T

$I=\frac{Q}{T}$

$T=\frac{N\times q}{I}$

$=\frac{0.456\times \times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} C}{8 A}=5492 s$

It will take 5492 seconds to electroplate 0.5 mm of gold on an object .

How many atoms are found in the products of the following chemical equation?

coldgirl [10]

There are 13 atoms in the product

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

H2SO4 + 2KOH --> K2SO4 + 2H2O

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

In a chemical equation, there are reactants on the left and products on the right

Reactants : H2SO4 + 2KOH

Products : K2SO4 + 2H2O

The number of atoms is determined by their reaction coefficient and the subscript of the atoms in the compound

K2SO4 (coefficient = 1) :

K = 2 atoms

S = 1 atom

O = 4 atoms

Total atoms = 7 atoms

2H2O(coefficient = 2) :

H = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms

O = 2 x 1 = 2 atoms

Total atoms = 6 atoms

Total = 13 atoms

What is the primary reason why elements form compounds?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
