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.

Use ideal gas law PV=nRT
at STP, pressure is 1atm and temperature is 273K (0 Celsius)
1×1.5L=n × 0.0821 × 273
n is moles and R is ideal gas law constant, always 0.0821
moles= 14.9422(6.02×10^23 molecules)=9.0×10^24 molecules

__CH4+O2-->__CO2+__H2O
Temka [501]

CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O

On the reactant side you start with 1 carbon, 4 hydrogen, and 2 oxygen. On the product side you start with 1 carbon, 2 hydrogen, and 3 oxygen. In order to get them equal, you need to put 2 in front of the H2O which equals out the number of Hydrogen on both sides. But Now we must balance the Oxygens. Because of the H2O we now have 4 Oxygens on the product side and only 2 on the reactant. In order to balance this, we put a 2 in front of the O2 giving us 4 hydrogen on both sides, Balancing the equation

Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water.
Marrrta [24]

Hello, this question is incomplete. The complete question would be:

"Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction.

Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water"

Answer:

Fe2O3 + 3 H2 = 2 Fe + 3 H2O

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the structure of atoms as chemical elements is unchanged. Atoms in one element do not become atoms in another element. There is also no loss or creation of new atoms. The number of atoms of the reagents must be equal to the number of atoms of the products. When this happens, we say that the chemical equation is balanced.

For this reason, we can state that the balanced chemical reaction where solid iron (III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water would be:

<em>Fe2O3 + 3 H2 = 2 Fe + 3 H2O </em>
