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.

The potential energy diagram for a reaction starts at 180 kJ and ends at 300 kJ. What type of reaction does the diagram best rep
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Endothermic reaction

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

As the energy of reactants is 180 kJ and that of products is 300 kJ, the energy of products is greater than that of reactants, which means  the energy has been absorbed and reaction is endothermic.

Answer:

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding
