When the molecules in the air become less dense (as in the process of hearing), ______ has occurred.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Whenever there occurs a decrease in the density of a substance then this is known as rarefaction.

For example, when particles of a gas become more dispersed or spread out then it means they have gained more kinetic energy. As a result, there will occur a decrease in mass of the gas and increase in volume of the gas.

As density is mass divided by volume. Hence, decrease in mass will also lead to a decrease in density of the gas.

Therefore, we can conclude that when the molecules in the air become less dense (as in the process of hearing), rarefaction has occurred.

The different molecules that make up the air in a room have on average the same kinetic energy. How does the speed of the differ
kap26 [50]
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²).  Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Why must the spectrophotometer cell be removed from the instrument between readings?
Natali [406]

Spectrophotometric cell or a cuvette is made of quartz for UV spectrophotometers. These cuvettes are used as sample holders for the spectrophotometric determination of the analytes. The material that makes up the cuvette and the condition of the cuvette is to be taken care of in order to avoid erroneous absorbance readings. The sample holder or the cuvette must be removed from the spectrophotometer in between two successive readings. This is to ensure that the light sensing detector of the instrument is not affected.
