Chemistry
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.

Explanation:

A wave is defined as any disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.

Waves can be typically classified as either mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium for their propagation. In a vacuum, they cannot be propagated and would not cause any disturbance. An example is sound waves.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to be propagated. They can pass through any substance in nature. Electromagnetic radiations belongs to this class.

A certain atom has 11 electrons 8 neutrons and a charge of -1. What is it’s atomic mass
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu

What volume will be occupied by 33.0 grams of CO2 at 500 torr and 27 °C?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

V = 27.98 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ = 33.0 g

Pressure = 500 torr

Temperature = 27°C

Volume occupied = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 33.0 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.75 mol

Volume of CO₂:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

Now we will convert the temperature.

27+273 = 300 K

Pressure = 500 /760 = 0.66 atm

By putting values,

0.66 atm×V = 0.75 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 300 K

V = 18.47 atm.L/0.66 atm

V = 27.98 L

What is the ph of a 0.15 m solution of ammonium chloride?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
 Best Answer:  <span>(a) 
8.9 x 10^-7 = x^2 / 0.15-x 
x = [OH-] = 0.00037 M 
pOH = 3.4 
pH = 14 - 3.4 = 10.6 

(b) 
Ka = Kw/Kb = 5.6 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x 
x = [H+] = 0.000011 M 
pH = 5.0</span>
