An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how much energy an earthquake releases. Typically, the richter scale is used.
STatiana [176]2 years ago
6 0

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.

The diagram shows Niels Bohr’s model of an atom.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Explanation:

Electrons are present and revolving continuously in the orbits that are present around the nucleus. The energy of electron are fixed and unable to move to other orbits due to the strong attractive force of the proton which is present in the nucleus of the atom. If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level to the second energy level, so the electron has to absorb enough energy which can overcome the attractive force of proton.

Suppose that Biuret reagent turns purple when it is added to an unknown substance. What can you conclude about the substance?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

the unknown substance is a protein

Explanation:

The biuret test is one of the tests for proteins. It  can be used to  detect peptide linkages. The biuret test is carried out in an alkaline solution. A coordination complex is formed  leading to the appearance of a  violet color.

Summarily, the biuret method is a colorimetric technique used to test for proteins and peptides.  It involves the formation of  a purple (violet) complex of Copper salts in alkaline solution.

Hence when the biuret reagent is added to an unknown substance and it turns purple, the unknown substance is a protein

Given the reaction: A + B <--> C + D
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A.) 4.0

Explanation:

The general equilibrium expression looks like this:

K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }

In this expression,

-----> K = equilibrium constant

-----> uppercase letters = molarity

-----> lowercase letters = balanced equation coefficients

In this case, the molarity's do not need to be raised to any numbers because the coefficients in the balanced equation are all 1. You can find the constant by plugging the given molarities into the equation and simplifying.

K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }                                       <----- Equilibrium expression

K = \frac{[2 M] [2 M]}{[1 M] [1 M] }                                     <----- Insert molarities

K = \frac{4}{1  }                                                <----- Multiply

K = 4                                                <----- Divide

How many molecules are in 0.0740 mol NH3?
Mariana [72]

Number of molecules NH₃ = 4.45 x 10²²

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

A mole is a number of particles(atoms, molecules, ions)  in a substance

This refers to the atomic total of the 12 gr C-12  which is equal to 6.02.10²³, so 1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles  

Can be formulated :

N = n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number

mol of NH₃ = n = 0.074

So the number of molecules :

\tt N=n\times No\\\\N=0.0740\times 6.02\times 10^{23}\\\\N=4.45\times 10^{22}
