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.

Strontium-90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium-235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

67.6 years is the time the isotope take to decay from 0.900g to 0.170g

Explanation:

The radioactive decay follows first order law:

Ln [A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is concentration after time t,</em>

<em>k is decay constant:</em>

<em>k = ln 2 / t(1/2)</em>

<em>k = ln2 / 28.1 years</em>

<em>k = 0.02467 years⁻¹</em>

<em>[A]₀ = Initial concentration.</em>

<em />

We can replace concentration and use the mass of the isotope:

Ln [A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

Ln [0.170g] = -0.02467 years⁻¹t + ln[0.900g]

-1.667 = -0.02467 years⁻¹t

t =

Question 2: Naming Hydrocarbons
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1) 1-Pentyne

2) But-2-yne

3) Ethyne

4) 1-Propyne

5) 1-Butyne

6) Pent-2-yne

Explanation:

1) The number of carbon on the longest chain = 5, (two carbon atoms between the triple bond) therefore the prefix is <em>pen-</em>

The functional group is the triple bond on the first carbon with the suffix <em>-yne</em>

The name of the compound is 1-Pentyne

2) There are 4 carbon atoms on the longest chain, therefore, the prefix is <em>but-</em>

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix; <em>-yne</em>) is on the second carbon atom

Therefore, the name of the compound is But-2-yne

3) The triple bond functional group is between the only two carbon atoms, therefore, the name is Ethyne

4) The number of carbon atoms = 3, with a prefix <em>prop-</em>, and the functional group on the first carbon atom on the longest chain is the triple bond, with suffix <em>-yne</em>

Therefore, the name of the compound is 1-Propyne

5) The number of carbon atoms on the longest chain = 4, the prefix is <em>but-</em>

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix<em> -yne</em>) is on the first carbon atom

Therefore, the name is 1-Butyne

6) The number of carbon atoms on the longest chain = 5, the prefix of the compound is <em>pen-</em>

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix; <em>-yne</em>) is on the second carbon atom, therefore;

The name of the compound is Pent-2-yne

The density of iron= 7.86 g/cm^3, what is the volume of 150g of iron
nadezda [96]

Answer: 19.08 cm^3

Explanation:

Density = mass/vol (Rearrange to solve for vol)

Vol = mass/density

Vol = 150/7.86 = 19.08 cm^3
