Chemistry
1 answer:
san4es73 [151]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

shear walls, cross braces, diaphragms, and moment-resisting frames are central to reinforcing a building. Shear walls are a useful building technology that helps to transfer earthquake forces. Made of panels, these walls help a building keep its shape during movement.

What would diluting the vinegar do to the rate of a reaction between vinegar and sodium hydroxide? decrease the rate of reaction
GarryVolchara [31]
Vinegar is aceti acid diluted in water.

The reaction of vinegar with sodium hydroxide is:

CH3COOH + NaOH ---> CH3COONa + H2O

That is an acid-base reaction.

The speed of reaction is proportional to the concentrations of the reactants.

Then, given thatn when you dilute the vinegar you decrease the concentration of CH3COOH, the rate of reaction will decrease.

Answer: decrease the rate of reaction.

The reaction is a synthesis reaction.

<h3>What are synthesis reactions?</h3>

Synthesis reactions are one of the numerous reactions in chemistry. These kinds of reactions involve the combination of two atoms of different elements resulting in the formation of new compounds.

Synthesis reactions are sometimes referred to as combination reactions, simply because they have to do with the combination of two or more atoms of different elements into a single compound.

The different elements that combine are referred to as the reactants while the result of the combination is known as the product.

For example: A + B --> AB

In the illustrated reaction, N2 combined with H2 to form NH3. N2 and H2 gases are the reactants while NH3 is the only product formed from the two reactants.

This is a good example of a synthesis/combination reaction.

Wave crests in a pond are separated by 0.2 m. The period of these waves is 0.2 s. What is the speed at which these waves travel?
romanna [79]
The crest is cover distance. <span>The </span>speed<span> of a wave indicate how fast wave is moving. </span>T<span>he speed is the distance traveled by a crest in a given interval of time. Greater distance in same amount of time means wave travel faster.
speed of wave = distance/time.
speed of wave = 0,2 m </span>÷ 0,2 s = 1 m/s.

Find the percentage of mass in each of the element Ca ( HCO3)2 (Ca= 40, H = 1, O = 16, C= 35)​
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

% Ca = 24.69%

% H = 1.2%

% C = 14.8%

% O = 59.25%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element can be calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass of Ca(HCO3)2

Where; (Ca= 40, H = 1, O = 16, C= 12)

= 40 + {1 + 12 + 16(3)}2

= 40 + {13 + 48}2

= 40 + {61}2

= 40 + 122

= 162g/mol

- % mass of Ca = 40/162 × 100

= 0.2469 × 100

= 24.69%

- % mass of H = 2/162 × 100

= 0.012 × 100

= 1.2%

- % mass of C = 24/162 × 100

= 0.148 × 100

= 14.8%

- % mass of O = 96/162 × 100

= 0.5925 × 100

= 59.25%

Describe the role of oceans in the water cycle?
Ainat [17]

Answer: The ocean plays a key role in this vital cycle of water. The ocean holds 97% of the total water on the planet; 78% of global precipitation occurs over the ocean, and it is the source of 86% of global evaporation. ... Water evaporates from the surface of the ocean, mostly in warm, cloud-free subtropical seas.
