Answer:

1.21 times

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

Mathematically:

E\propto A^2

where

E is the energy of the wave

A is its amplitude

In this problem, the amplitude of the wave increases by a factor of 1.1; it means that the new amplitude can be written as

A'=1.1 A

Therefore, this means that the energy of the wave increases by a factor:

E'\propto A'^2=(1.1 A)^2 = 1.1^2 A^2 =1.21 A^2 = 1.21 E

Therefore, the energy of the wave increases by a factor 1.21.

Mass percentage of a solution is the amount of solute present in 100 g of the solution.

Given data:

Mass of solute H2SO4 = 571.3 g

Volume of the solution = 1 lit = 1000 ml

Density of solution = 1.329 g/cm3 = 1.329 g/ml

Calculations:

Mass of the given volume of solution = 1.329 g * 1000 ml/1 ml = 1329 g

Therefore we have:

571.3 g of H2SO4 in 1329 g of the solution

Hence, the amount of H2SO4 in 100 g of solution= 571.3 *100/1329 = 42.987

Mass percentage of H2SO4 (%w/w) is 42.99 %

Which statement explains why catalysts are important for living
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Catalysts allow chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.

Explanation:

Catalysts are molecules that speeden the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. In a living system, the catalyst are ENZYMES, which help to hasten up many biochemical reactions.

Another function of catalyst in living systems is that it allows chemical reactions to occur at temperatures at which the organism lives.
