Why do deep earthquake do less damage then shallow ones ?

1 answer:

5 0

Shallow ones are seismic waves from deep quakes that have to travel farther to the surface, losing energy along the way. shaking is more intense from quakes that hit close to the surface.

Which of the following is an example of an exothermic reaction? silt settling out of muddy water, bubbles forming in soda, photo

Rudik [331]

Fireworks
An exothermic reaction is one where the products have lower energy than the reactants, so the reaction yields energy. The chemical compounds present in firework fuel release a lot of energy upon oxidation. Photosynthesis is endothermic, settling of silt is not a chemical reaction, it is a physical change. Finally, the bubble formation in soda is not exothermic; otherwise, the sodas would become very hot very fast.

Let’s say you have 3 UV active spots in the crude material and co-spot TLC plate. One has the same Rf value as the starting mate

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Answer: (1R,2S) / (1S, 2R) , (1R,2R) / (1S, 2S)

Explanation:

Sodium borohydride reduction of benzoin will give four possible stereo isomers out of which are (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers and (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers which are known as enantiomers.

In general enantiomers show single spot in the TLC as they do not show any difference in Rf value (i.e) (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers show only one spot although they are two compounds and also (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers also show one spot. That is the reason why you are observing two spots in the TLC ( of reaction mixture) other than starting materilal.

When 60 mL of 0.22 M NH4Cl is added to 60 mL of 0.22 M NH3, relative to the pH of the 0.10 M NH3 solution the pH of the resultin

densk [106]

Answer:

Will be more acidic

Explanation:

The equilibrium of NH3 in water is:

NH3(aq) + H2O(l) ⇄ NH4⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Where equilibrium constant, Kb, is:

Kb = 1.85x10⁻⁵ = [NH4⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH3]

From 0.10M NH3, the reaction will produce X of NH4⁺ and X of OH⁻ and Kb will be:

1.85x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.10M]

1.8x10⁻⁶ = X²

X = 1.34x10⁻³ = [OH⁻]

As pOH = -log[OH⁻] = 2.87

And as pH = 14 - pOH

pH of the 0.10M NH3 is 11.13

Now, to find the pH of the NH4Cl and NH3 we need to use H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [NH4⁺] / [NH3]

<em>Where pKb is -log Kb = 4.74 and [] are moles of both compounds.</em>

<em />

Moles of [NH4⁺] = [NH3] = 60mL, 0.060L*0.22M = 0.0132moles:

pOH = 4.74 + log [0.0132] / [0.0132]

pOH = 4.74

pH = 14 - 4.74 = 9.26

That means the pH of the resulting solution will be more acidic

How can the idea that different minerals are formed in different environments provide evidence for energy and matter cycling?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The importance of crystal structure. The graphite-diamond mineral pair is an extreme example of the importance of crystal structure. These two very different minerals have exactly the same chemical formula (C), but the crystal structure of the two minerals is very different. In graphite, carbon atoms are bonded together along a flat plane, as shown in Figure 3.
