An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how much energy an earthquake releases. Typically, the richter scale is used.

Answer:

The amount of the energy released at earthquake source.

Explanation:

Earthquakes are measured in two different ways.

  • Based on magnitude which is the amount of the energy released at earthquake source.
  • Based on intensity which is the quantification of how much of the ground shakes at the location.

Measurements on moment magnitude scale are determined using complex mathematical formula to convert the motion recorded with seismometer into the number which represents amount of energy released during earthquake.

Which compound does not form a precipitate when reacted with sodium hydroxide?
Alla [95]

Answer:

NaNO₃

Explanation:

A precipitate is a compound or a salt formed from a precipitation reaction and does not dissolve in water and therefore will exist in solid state.

From the choices given precipitation reaction will occur between;

  • Fe(NO₃)₃(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3NaNO₃(aq)
  • Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq)
  • FeSO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

Fe(OH)₃, Cu(OH)₂, and Fe(OH)₂ are precipitates.

From the rules of solubility, hydroxides are insoluble except Ca(OH)₂ which is slightly soluble and hydroxides of ammonium and alkali metals.
