Answer:

Frequncy increases, wavelength decreases

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as the repetitive pattern of a travelling energy. Waves can also be defined as a disturbance from equilibrium (or rest) of a medium which oscillates along a stable region. Examples of waves include: seismic waves, gravitational waves, shock waves, heat waves, sound waves etc

In a standing wave (ie at different points of the wave, amplitude is constant), its properties are:

Amplitude which is the the distance of the disturbance from equilibrium. It can also be defined as the distance between the highest point of the wave(peak or crest) to the lowest point (trough).

Wavelength(lambda) is the distance between one peak to the next peak or one trough to another trough parallel to the direction of propagation.

Frequency, f is the number of times a wave passes a particular point per unit time.

Wave velocity is the speed at which disturbance moves. It can given as an equation:

V = f*(lambda)

It can also be written as:

f = V/(lambda)

From the relationship above,

We can see that an increase in frequency of the wave would lead to a decrease in its wavelength and vice versa.

How many grams of ethylene glycol (c2h6o2 must be added to 1.25 kg of water to produce a solution that freezes at -5.88 ∘c?

e-lub [12.9K]

The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
ΔT = (kf) x m
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m

Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.

White phosphorus is composed of tetrahedral molecules of P4 in which every P atom is connected to three other P atoms. In the Le

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

In the Lewis structure of P4 there are 6 bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

The structure of tetrahedral molecule of P4 is provided below.

Each phosphorus atom has 5 valence electrons out of which 3 electrons involve in bonding and the rest 2 electrons exist as a lone pair that does not involve in bonding.Hence each phosphorus atom has one lone pair.In P4 molecule there are phosphorus atoms and hence 4 lone pairs in total.

As you can see in the figure, each phosphorus atom is bonded to the other three atoms.A bond is formed when two atoms share one electron each and the pair is called bonding pair.

From the figure we can see that there are 6 bonds in total.Each bond consist of one bonding pair of electrons and hence in total there are 6 bonding pairs of electrons.

Hence in a P4 molecule there are six bonding pairs and 4 lone pairs of electrons.
