aniked [119]3 years ago
7 0

<span> Light waves are a wave in the electromagnetic field, this field may exist in a vacuum. Sound needs either solid, liquid, or gas to propagate and therefore it is called a mechanical wave. Sound is a form of energy which is transferred by vibrating air molecules if motions of propagation is air.</span>

Using Equation (10), calculate [Ag+] in the cell, where it is in equilibrium with 1 M Cl- ion. (Ecell in Equation (10) is the ne
mixer [17]

Answer:

7.16x10⁻⁸M = [Ag+]

Explanation:

Using the equation:

E(Cell) =E⁰ - 0.0592/2 • log ([Cu2+]/[Ag+]²)

<em>Where E</em>⁰<em>= 0.4249V</em>

<em>E(Cell) = -(-0.0019V) -Measured value-</em>

<em>[Cu2+] = 1M</em>

<em />

Replacing:

0.0019V = 0.4249V - 0.0592/2 • log (1M/[Ag+]²)

-0.423V = - 0.0296 • log (1M/[Ag+]²)

14.29 = log (1M/[Ag+]²)

1.95x10¹⁴ = 1M / [Ag+]²

[Ag+]² = 5.12x10⁻¹⁵M

7.16x10⁻⁸M = [Ag+]

Two ice skaters push off against one another starting from a stationary position. The 45.0-kg skater acquires a speed of 0.375 m
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg

speed of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s

Mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the speed of skater 2

To solve this problem, we will use 'Conservation of momenton'. This means  the momentum before the push equals the momentum after.

momentum p = m*v

Momentum p(before) = momentum p(after)

m1*v1 = m2 * v2

⇒ with m1 = mass of skater 1 = 45.0 kg

⇒ with v1 = the velocity of skater 1 = 0.375 m/s

⇒ with m2 = the mass of skater 2 = 60.0 kg

⇒ with v2 = the velocity of skater 2 = TO BE DETERMINED

45.0 * 0.375 = 60.0 * v2

v2 = (45.0*0.375)/60

v2 = 0.281 m/s

The speed of the 60.0 kg skater should be 0.281 m/s

Consider the reaction of sulfur dioxide and water, which is represented by the following equation: 2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g) → 2H2S(g) +
skad [1K]

Answer:

6 moles of electrons are transfered

Explanation:

The actual redox is

S4+ +6e- long arrow S2- + 3O2

From the reaction, addition of 6 electrons on the LHS is needed to balance the electron number, hence 6 moles of electrons are transfered
