How does the density of a gas affect the speed of sound

Chemistry
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
4 0

Increased density decreases the speed of sound in a medium. While increased density can mean increased rigidity, or stiffness, it is not always the case. Greater density can be due to each molecule or atom having more momentum, and being slower to respond to the vibration of its neighbor.

Which of the following processes is endothermic? Group of answer choices water droplets condensing on a soda can on a hot summer
fgiga [73]

Answer: an ice pack getting cold (due to ammonium nitrate dissolving in water inside the pack)

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is required in the reaction. The energy of the products are more than the energy of the reactants.

Exothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is released in the reaction. The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.

a) water droplets condensing on a soda can on a hot summer day : As the gaseous molecules are changing into liquid phase, energy is released and is exothermic

b) an ice pack getting cold (due to ammonium nitrate dissolving in water inside the pack) : As the temperature is decreasing , energy is absorbed by the surroundings and thus is endothermic

c) thermite reaction between iron(III) oxide and aluminium (spectacular flames are observed)  : As flames are produced, the energy is released and thus is exothermic

d) freezing water to make ice cubes  : As the liquid molecules are changing into solid phase, energy is released and is exothermic

Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a _____________ in an acid-base reaction because it ___________ a hydrogen ion to/from t
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a BASE in an acid-base reaction because it ACCEPTS a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.

According to </span><span>Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H</span>⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.

Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.

In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e. 

                                    KOH    →     K⁺  +  OH⁻

Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,

                         K⁺    +   OH⁻  +   HCl      →       H₂O   +   KCl

Container A holds 717 mL of an ideal gas at 2.80 atm. Container B holds 174 mL of a different ideal gas at 4.30 atm. Container A
horsena [70]

Answer:

3.09 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of container A = 717 mL

Pressure of container A = 2.80 atm

Volume of container B = 174 mL

Pressure of container B = 4.30 atm

Now, if the valve are being removed and the gases are allowed to mix together; then

The total final pressure can be calculated by using the formula:

P_f = \dfrac{P_AVA+P_BV_B}{V_A+V_B}

P_f = \dfrac{2.80*717+4.30*174}{717+174}

P_f = \dfrac{2007.6+748.2}{891}

P_f = \dfrac{2755.8}{891}

\mathbf{P_f =3.09 \ atm}

How many ions do bromine have
musickatia [10]

Answer: Quora. What is the charge of the ion typically formed by bromine and how is it calculated? Bromine has seven valence electrons (found with a quick google search or the fact that it's a halogen or the fact that it's in group 17 or 7A) but wants eight, just like all atoms not in groups 1 and 2.
