They discovered this since S waves don’t travel through the earth but P waves do. P waves tend to travel faster than S waves in speed, 1&14km/s vs 1&8km/s

Consider the reaction CaCN2 + 3 H2O → CaCO3 + 2 NH3 . This reaction has a 75.6% yield. How many moles of CaCN2 are needed to obt
kherson [118]

Answer: Thus 0.724 mol of CaCN_2 are needed to obtain 18.6 g of NH_3

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} NH_3=\frac{18.6g}{17g/mol}=1.09moles

CaCN_2+3H_2O\rightarrow CaCO_3+2NH_3

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of NH_3 are produced by = 1 mole of CaCN_2

Thus 1.09 moles of NH_3 will be produced by =\frac{1}{2}\times 1.09=0.545moles  of CaCN_2

But as yield of reaction is 75.6 %, the amount of CaCN_2 needed is =\frac{0.545}{75.6}\times 100=0.724

Thus 0.724 mol of CaCN_2 are needed to obtain 18.6 g of NH_3

Given pH = 8.55 Find: [H3O+] and [OH-] Is this acidic, basic or neutral?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given pH = 8.55

Unknown:

[H₃O⁺] = ?

[OH⁻] = ?

In order to find these unknowns we must first establish some relationship.

                      pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

                   8.55 = -log[H₃O⁺]

                    [H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀(-8.55) = 2.82 x 10⁻⁹moldm⁻³

To find the [OH⁻],

                     pH + pOH = 14

                               pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 8.55

                                pOH = 5.45

              pOH = -log[OH⁻]

               [OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀ (-5.45) = 3.55 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³

The solution is basic because it has more concentration of OH⁻ ions compared to H⁺ ions.
