1. The answer is "a".

Mechanical waves require a medium to travel. If there is no medium, the mechanical wave doesn't travel. Since, they are waves; they have a wavelength, frequency, speed and also amplitude. The speed depends on the medium and type of the wave. An example for the mechanical waves is sound wave.

2. E = hf, where E is energy, h is plank constant and f is the frequency. Hence, if the frequency is high, then the energy is high.

v = fλ , where v is the speed, f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength. If the frequency is high, then the wavelength is low.

According to the given choices, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy on electromagnetic spectrum.

3. The wavelength of X-rays are smaller the wavelength of infrared.

According to the v=fλ, lower the wavelength, then higher the frequency. According to the E = hf, if the frequency is high, then the energy is also high.

Hence, the correct answer is "d"

4. In a longitudinal wave (compression wave) the particles of a matter move parallel.

There are two types of waves according to the particle movement. They are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave and longitudinal waves have parallel movement of particles to the direction of wave.

5. In regard to spend of sound, sound travels slowest in gases.

Solids have the highest speed of sound while gases have the lowest. This is because of the particle arrangement of each phase. Solid phase has very tightly packed particle arrangement and due to that the transfer of sound wave in easy than in gases.

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25 ∘C, if [A]=0.50M and [B]=0.075M.Express your answer to two significant f

N76 [4]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C, if [A]=0.50 M and [B]=0.075 M. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.Consider the reaction

A + 2B ⇔ C

whose rate at 25°C was measured using three different sets of initial concentrations as listed in the following table:

The table is attached below as an image.

Answer: The initial rate for the formation of C at 25°C is $2.25\times 10^{-2}Ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$A+2B\rightleftharpoons C$
