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.

Un tecnico di laboratorio deve preparare una soluzione di carbonato di sodio decaidrato, Na2CO3⋅ 10 H2O per eseguire alcune anal

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

1. 3.70 g Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

2. 50.0 mL of the first solution

Explanation:

1. Prepare the solution

(a) Calculate the molar mass of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

$\begin{array}{rrr}\textbf{Atoms} &\textbf{M}_{\textbf{r}} & \textbf{Mass/u}\\\text{2Na} & 2\times22.99 & 45.98\\\text{1C} & 1\times 12.01 & 12.01\\\text{13O}&13 \times16.00 & 208.00\\\text{20H}&20 \times 1.008 & 20.16\\&\text{TOTAL =} & \mathbf{286.15}\\\end{array}$

The molar mass of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O is 286.15 g/mol.

(b) Calculate the moles of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

$\text{Moles of Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}\\= \text{0.250 L solution} \times \dfrac{\text{0.0500 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}}{\text{1 L solution}}\\\\= \text{0.0125 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}$

(c) Calculate the mass of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

$\text{Mass of Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O }\\= \text{0.012 50 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O } \times \dfrac{\text{296.15 g Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}}{\text{1 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}}\\\\= \text{3.70 g Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}\\\text{You need $\large \boxed{\textbf{3.70 g}}$ of Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}$

2. Dilute the solution

We can use the dilution formula to calculate the volume needed.

V₁c₁ = V₂c₂

Data:

V₁ = ?; c₁ = 0.0500 mol·L⁻¹

V₂ = 100 mL; c₂ = 0.0250 mol·L⁻¹

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}V_{1}c_{1} & = & V_{2}c_{2}\\V_{1}\times \text{0.0500 mol/L} & = & \text{100 mL} \times\text{0.0250 mol/L}\\0.0500V_{1}& = & \text{2.500 mL}\\V_{1}&=& \dfrac{\text{2.500 mL}}{0.0500}\\\\& = & \text{50.0 mL}\\\end{array}\\\text{You need $\large \boxed{\textbf{50.0 mL}}$ of the concentrated solution.}$

why don't we ever see solid or liquid oxygen on earth?

NeTakaya

Please mark me brainiest!

The reason why you don’t see solid or liquid oxygen is because oxygen is a natural occurring gas. Gas can not be solid or liquid because there is too much energy to have volume/shape. That’s why you see oxygen tanks, as the tank keeps the gas contained and that is why you can’t see it in the air outside or in something like H20 (water).

Hope this helps :)

Just don’t open the link in the other answer. It’s a scam...

Some elements are solids at room temperature true or false

nadya68 [22]

This is true, think of silver, gold, etc— those are heated to make them liquid

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:Reliability

Explanation:

Reliability of a test refers to how consistently a test measures a characteristic under the same conditions.

Reliability can be defined as the degree of consistency of which a chemical test gives a similar result. measure. A test is said to be highly reliable when it gives the same repeated result under the same conditions of measure.

But when a test gives different results under the same condition of measure it has a low reliability.

Hence, If a test yields consistent results every time it is used, it has a high degree of reliability.
