Which is not a reason why the mass of an atom is expressed in atomic mass units rather than in grams?

Answer:

Ease of use and readability.

Explanation:

An atom of Oxygen, as an example, weighs 0.000...0001661 grams (with 23 zeros in front of "1661". In scientific notation this is written more concisely as

1.661\cdot 10^{-24}g

Still, in both cases the representation in units of grams is not easily readable and inconvenient to handle, especially when used in equations multiplying such mass with other measures. For this reason, the mass was agreed to be measured in atomic units, or a.u., which offer a numerically comparable baseline. An atomic unit for mass relates to the mass of an electron which is small enough to provide a good measurement unit. There are several variations to this so I recommend further reading if you need more detail.

Two identical loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.80 m from one speaker and 3.90 m from the other. What is t
NikAS [45]

Answer:

f = 632 Hz

Explanation:

As we know that for destructive interference the path difference from two loud speakers must be equal to the odd multiple of half of the wavelength

here we know that

\Delta x = (2n + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

given that path difference from two loud speakers is given as

\Delta x = 5.80 m - 3.90 m

\Delta x = 1.90 m

now we know that it will have fourth lowest frequency at which destructive interference will occurs

so here we have

\Delta x = 1.90 = \frac{7\lambda}{2}

\lambda = \frac{2 \times 1.90}{7}

\lambda = 0.54 m

now for frequency we know that

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{343}{0.54} = 632 Hz

Explanation:

English Translation

Indicate what a specific property of matter is. Also explain why the specific properties of matter are useful compared to the general ones.

Solution

The specific properties of matter are properties that describes the intensive properties of the system. They are properties that do not depend on or change with the extent or size of the system. They are usually obtained by dividing the generalised properties or extensive properties by the extent or size of matter to make them independent of size/extent/Mass.

Examples of specific properties include specific heat capacity, specific volume etc. They usually have units of general units/Mass units.

The specific properties of matter are more important than the general ones because

- They help in general comparisons of the properties of different materials. They are used to rank, classify and compare properties of different materials.

- They are used in reference table/data to easily record easily accessible properties of matter. It helps to record standards that are general and independent of sizes/extents/Mass, thereby keeping the reference table/data/chart precise and concise.

- They provide us with values that are easy to memorize and remember, unlike trying to cram the different properties of different masses/sizes of matter.

In Spanish/En español

Las propiedades específicas de la materia son propiedades que describen las propiedades intensivas del sistema. Son propiedades que no dependen ni cambian con la extensión o el tamaño del sistema. Por lo general, se obtienen dividiendo las propiedades generalizadas o las propiedades extensivas por la extensión o el tamaño de la materia para hacerlas independientes del tamaño / extensión / masa.

Los ejemplos de propiedades específicas incluyen capacidad calorífica específica, volumen específico, etc. Usualmente tienen unidades de unidades generales / unidades de masa.

Las propiedades específicas de la materia son más importantes que las generales porque

- Ayudan en las comparaciones generales de las propiedades de diferentes materiales. Se utilizan para clasificar, clasificar y comparar propiedades de diferentes materiales.

- Se utilizan en la tabla / datos de referencia para registrar fácilmente propiedades de materia fácilmente accesibles. Ayuda a registrar estándares que son generales e independientes de tamaños / extensiones / masa, manteniendo así la tabla / datos / tabla de referencia precisa y concisa.

- Nos proporcionan valores que son fáciles de memorizar y recordar, a diferencia de tratar de agrupar las diferentes propiedades de diferentes masas / tamaños de materia.

Hope this Helps!!!

An airplane accelerates from rest to its required takeoff speed with an acceleration 5.0 m/s^2 after travelling on the runway a
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

.75 km = 750 m

acceleration a = 5 m/s²

distance s = 750 m

initial velocity u = 0

Final velocity v = ?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 5 x 750

v = 86.60 m /s.

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a product of combustion that:
bekas [8.4K]

b. is equally as toxic as carbon monoxide (CO).

Explanation:

Hydrogen Cyanide is a product of combustion that is equally as toxic as carbon monoxide CO.

The gas is a product of combustion in blast furnances, coke ovens, e.t.c

  • Just like carbon monoxide, they are blood agents that are toxic in the body
  • Prolonged exposure to hydrogen cyanide can lead to death eventually.
  • The gas is a able to produce cyanide ion that seriously impacts the process of cellular respiration and bringing it to a halt.
  • It is listed as one of the dangerous chemical weapons.
