How can describe electromagnetic waves with mechanical waves?

Chemistry

<span>Mechanical waves are mostly longitudinal waves. It means the constituents of the naterial through which the wave is moving are oscillating in the same direction as the wave itself.

In an electromagnetic wave the motion of the electric and magnetic fields is transverse to the direction of propogation of the wave. So the E, B and k vectors are perpendicular to each other. Also unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel. It can travel in completely empty space.

The matter wave or de Broglie wave comes from the wave particle duality of a quantum mechanical object such as an electron or an atom etc. This wave can also travel in empty space. Due to the strange nature of quantum mechanics, a quantum object manifests itself as a particle or a wave depending solely on the type of measurement or observation. So for example if one lets a stream of single electrons to fall upon 2 closely spaced slits then each electron would behave as a wave and lead to interference fringes on the screen behind the slits.</span>

Would precipitation occur when 500 mL of a 0.02M solution of AgNO3 is mixed with 500 mL of a 0.001M solution of NaCl? Show your
Oksanka [162]
We know,
AgNO3 + NaCl ⇒ NaNO3 + AgCl(s)
The moles of Na+ present:
0.5 L * 0.001 mol/L
= 5 x 10⁻⁴ mol
Moles of Ag+ present:
0.5 * 0.02
= 0.01 mol
The limiting reactant is Na
Therefore, the moles of Ag reacted:
5 x 10⁻⁴
AgCl is insoluble in water; therefore, the AgCl formed will precipitate

Which of the following is NOT an exothermic reaction?
nignag [31]

Answer:

a) dissolving sugar in water to form a mixture of sugar and water

Explanation:

exothermic reaction is reaction in which is heat is released during the reaction and endothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat is needed or required for the reaction to take place

all the options excluding option A) is exothermic as during the process of formation of bonds in oxidation, heat is released. rusting too is a slow form of oxidation and thus an exothermic reaction.

dissolving sugar in water is not exothermic reaction because their is no heat released. the sugar molecules simply disperses in the water molecules and form a solution.
