<span>Recordings of seismic waves from earthquakes led to the discovery of the earth's core and eventual maps of the layers of the Earth's inside. Just as the prism below refracts light at its faces, seismic waves bend, reflect and change speed at the boundaries between different materials below the Earth's surface.

Answer: P waves and S waves travel through the interior of the earth. P waves are the Primary waves and S waves are the Secondary waves.

    P waves can travel in both solid as well as in liquid (outer core) whereas S wave can travel only through solid. When P waves enters the outer core, it gets deviated and again enters the outer core with further deviation.

               In case of S waves, once it reaches the core-mantle boundary, it reflects to the side of it, forming a shadow zone commonly known as the S wave shadow zone (103°-103°). Thus it cannot penetrate through the outer core.

What is the equilibrium equation for the dissociation of formic acid in water? hcooh (aq) + h2o (l) ⇌ h3o+ (aq) + hcoo- (aq)?
Pani-rosa [81]
Formic acid when in water would dissociate into ions just like any acids. It would dissociate into the hydrogen ion and the formate ion. The equilibrium dissociation equation would be written as:

<span>HCOOH (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H+ (aq) + HCOO- (aq)

Formic acid is a weak acid which means that when in aqueous solution it does not completely dissociate into its corresponding ions. Only a certain amount that would be dissociated so in the solution there will be HCOOH, HCOO- and H+ molecules. It is also known as Methanoic acid and an important substance for the synthesis of a number of substances. It is naturally occurring in ants.</span>

Because water molecules are polar and carbon dioxide molecules are nonpolar,
Gala2k [10]

The correct is D.

Water is a polar molecule and it has polar bonds, which carry partially positive and partially negative charges. This polar bond increases the attraction between molecules of water and thus it requires a greater energy to break the bond between the molecules of water compare to carbon dioxide, which is a non polar molecule. Thus, water has a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide.

Plz help asap What can you conclude about the iron(ii) and iron(iii) ions?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The chemistry of iron is dominated by the +2 and +3 oxidation states i.e. iron(II) and iron(III) complexes e.g. Fe2+ and Fe3+ complex ions with selected ligands, usually of an octahedral shape, a few tetrahedral iron(III) complexes are mentioned too. The reactions of the aqueous ions iron(II) and iron(III) with ammonia, sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate are described and explained as are complexes of iron(III) with the chloride ion and cyanide ion.

principal oxidation states of iron, redox reactions of iron, ligand substitution displacement reactions of iron, balanced equations of iron chemistry, formula of iron complex ions, shapes colours of iron complexes, formula of compoundsExplanation:

Be sure to answer all parts. find the molar solubility of bacro4 (ksp= 2.1 × 10−10) in (a) pure water × 10 m (b) 1.6 × 10−3 m na
Vlad [161]
A) in pure water :

by using ICE table:

According to the reaction equation:

            BaCrO4(s)    →  Ba^2+(aq)    +   CrO4^2-(aq)

initial                               0                          0

change                          +X                       +X 

Equ                                  X                         X


when Ksp = [Ba^2+][CrO4^2-]

by substitution:

2.1 x 10^-10 = X* X

∴X = √2.1 x 10*-10

∴X = 1.4 x 10^-5

∴ the solubility = X = 1.4 X 10^-5

B) In 1.6 x 10^-3 m Na2CrO4

 by using ICE table:

According to the reaction equation:

            BaCrO4(s)  →  Ba^2+(aq)    +   CrO4^2-(aq)

initial                                 0                      0.0016

Change                           +X                      +X

Equ                                   X                      X+0.0016

when Ksp = [Ba^2+][CrO4^2-]

by substitution:

2.1 x 10^-10 = X*(X+0.0016) by solving for X 

∴ X = 1.3 x 10^-7

∴ solubility =X = 1.3 x 10^-7
