A transverse wave is a wave is a wave in which the particles in the medium oscillate in a direction that is perpendicular or at 90 degrees to the direction in which the wave propagates. Light waves or electromagnetic waves are a good example of transverse waves. When an electromagnetic wave propagates, the medium in which it propagates vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel.

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave is travelling.  Sound waves are good examples of longitudinal waves. When sound propagates, the particles of the medium which it travels through will vibrate in the direction in which the wave is travelling.

                                         Similarities

  • Both transverse and longitudinal waves carry energy.
  • Both transverse and longitudinal waves obey the wave equation.
  • Both transverse and longitudinal waves show behavior such as refraction, reflection, absorption, diffraction, etc.

                                          Differences

The main difference is that for longitudinal waves, the particles in the medium will vibrate in the direction of the wave and that for transverse waves, the motion of the particles in the medium is in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

What happens to the area of the world off the coast of Peru
joja [24]

Answer:The Peruvian west coast bordering the Pacific Ocean is a long desert strip that stretches from the departments of Tumbes in the north bordering Ecuador, to Tacna in the south bordering Chile for a total length of 1,555 miles or 2,500 km. The average temperature from December to April is 25 to 28C or 53 to 59F and the average temperature from May to November is 12 to 15C or 53 to 59F.

The coast covers about 10% of the territory but is home to more than 50% of the population. Large cities such as Lima, the capital, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Tacna are located in the coast. Cities along the coast are the center of economic activity attracting people from the interior of the country looking for economic prosperity.

idk hope this helps !!!!

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The equilibrium constant is  K_c= 2.8*10^{-4}

Explanation:

      From  the question we are told that

              The chemical reaction equation is

      Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} + 3H_{2}_{(g)}  -----> 2Fe_{(s)} + 3H_{2} O_{(g)}

The voume of the misture is  V_m = 5.4L  

  The molar mass of  Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} is a constant with value of  M_{Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)} } = 160g/mol

    The molar mass of  H_{2}_{(g)}    is a constant with value of  H_2 = 2g/mol

   

    The molar mass of  H_{2}O    is a constant with value of  H_2O = 18g/mol

Generally the number of moles  is mathematically given as

                     No \ of \ moles \ = \frac{mass}{molar\  mass}

    For   Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}

          No \ of\ moles = \frac{3.54}{160}

                                = 0.022125 \ mols

     For  H_{2}

               No \ of\ moles = \frac{3.63}{2}

                                = 1.815 \ mols

       For  H_{2}O

                         No \ of\ moles = \frac{2.13}{18}

                                              = 0.12 \ mols

Generally the concentration of a compound  is mathematicallyrepresented  as

       Concentration  = \frac{No \ of \ moles }{Volume }

      For   Fe_{2} O_{3}_{(s)}

                Concentration[Fe_2 O_3] = \frac{0.222125}{5.4}

                                         = 4.10*10^{-3}M                          

       For  H_{2}

                  Concentration[H_2] = \frac{1.815}{5.4}

                                           = 0.336M

      For  H_{2}O

                Concentration [H_2O] = \frac{0.12}{5.4}

                                                  = 0.022M

  The equilibrium constant  is mathematically represented as

                K_c = \frac{[concentration \ of \ product]}{[concentration \ of \ reactant ]}

  Considering H_2O  \ for \ product

            And      H_2  \ for  \ reactant

At  equilibrium the

                    K_c = \frac{0.022}{0.336}

                          K_c= 2.8*10^{-4}

What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?
vekshin1

This is an incomplete question, the complete question is attached below.

Answer : The coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction is, 3

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The given redox reaction is,

Ag^+(aq)+Al(s)\rightarrow Ag(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-

Reduction : Ag^{+}+1e^-\rightarrow Ag

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the reduction reaction by 3 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced redox reaction will be,

3Ag^+(aq)+Al(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)

From the balanced redox reaction we conclude that, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation for this reaction is 3.

Hence, the correct option is 3.
