P waves move quickly and S waves move slowly through solids,

Explanation:

S and P waves can move through a solid material. P waves generally moves quickly and S-waves move slowly through solids.

S and P waves elastic seismic waves.

P waves are primary waves travels through any material medium. They move faster than S-waves.
S waves are secondary waves that moves through solid only. They are shear waves.
They cannot move through liquids and gases because these materials cannot be sheared.

At a seismic station, P waves arrives first because they have a higher velocity

If 1.320 moles of CH4 reacts completely with oxygen, how many grams of H2O can be formed

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

47.5 g of water can be formed

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Methane combustion.

In this process 1 mol of methane react with 2 moles of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

As ratio is 1:2, I will produce the double of moles of water, with the moles of methane I have.

1.320 mol .2 = 2.64 moles

Now, we can convert the moles to mass (mol . molar mass)

2.64 mol . 18g/mol = 47.5 g

Consider a gas in a container that can adjust its volume to maintain constant pressure. Suppose the gas is cooled. What happens

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The volume will also decrease.

Explanation:

This illustration clearly indicates Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. Mathematically, it is represented as:

V & T

V = KT

K = V/T

V1/T1 = V2/T2 =... = Vn/Tn

Where:

T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperature respectively, measured in Kelvin.

V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume of the gas respectively.

From the illustration above, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume also will decrease.

Calculate the mass of CO2 that can be produced if the reaction of 54.0 g of propane and sufficient oxygen has a 64.0% yield.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

103.9 g

Explanation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

First we convert 54.0 g of propane (C₃H₈) into moles, using its molar mass:

54.0 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 1.23 mol C₃H₈

Then we convert 1.23 moles of C₃H₈ into moles of CO₂, using the stoichiometric coefficients:

1.23 mol C₃H₈ * $\frac{3molCO_2}{1molC_3H_8}$ = 3.69 mol CO₂

We convert 3.69 moles of CO₂ into grams, using its molar mass:

3.69 mol CO₂ * 44 g/mol = 162.36 g

And apply the given yield:

162.36 g * 64.0/100 = 103.9 g

What is the concentration of hydronium ion in a 0.121 M HCl solution?

kogti [31]

Answer:

C) 0.121 M

Explanation:

HCl + H₂O = H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

.121M .121M

HCl is a strong acid . It will dissociate almost 100 % so the concentration of acid and hydronium ion formed will be equal . It is to be noted that hydronium ion is formed due to association of H⁺ and H₂O . H⁺ is formed due to ionisation of HCl .

So concentrtion of hydronium ion ( H₃O⁺ ) will be .121 M.
