How do S and P waves move through a solid material?

Chemistry
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
6 0

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

Below are 5 sets of potential solutes for you to compare. Both members of each pair are very soluble in water. If you had equal
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Option D. AlCl₃, MgC₂

Explanation:

We need to dissociate all the salts, to determine the i. (Van't Hoff factor).

The salt who has the highest value, will be the better conductor of electricity

CsCl  → Cs⁺  +  Cl⁻   i = 2

CaCl → Ca²⁺ +  Cl⁻   i = 2

CaS → Ca²⁺ +  S⁻²    i = 2

Li₂S → 2Li⁺  +  S⁻²    i = 3

KBr →  K⁺  +  Br⁻       i = 2

AlCl₃ →  Al³⁺ + 3Cl⁻   i = 4

MgC₂  →  Mg²⁺  +  2C⁻   i = 3

KI  →  K⁺  +  I⁻     i = 2

K₂S  →  2K⁺  + S⁻²   i = 3

The biggest i, is in pair D.

Gold forms face-centered cubic crystals. The atomic radius of a gold atom is 144 pm. Consider the face of a unit cell with the n
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

Explanation:

Face centered cubic structure contains 4 atoms in each unit cell and 12 coordination number, occupying about 74% volume of the total cell. Face centered cubic structure is known for efficient use of space for atom packing.

To determine the edge length, a relationship between the radius of the atom and edge length is used.

X = R√8

Where;

X is the length of an edge of this unit cell

R is the radius of the gold atom = 144 pm = 144 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 144 X 10⁻¹²√8

X = 407.294 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 407.294 pm

Therefore, the length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

How is the concentration of h3o ions and oh- ions different in an acid solution and a basic soulution?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
In an acidic solution, the concentration of H+ is greater than the concentration of OH-. The pH will be less than 7.
In a basic solution, the concentration of OH- is greater than the concentration of H+. The pH will be greater than 7.
In a neutral solution, the concentration of H+ ions to OH-ions will be equal, and will therefore have a pH of 7. (This is due to water autoionization, which we usually ignore because it is small in other circumstances.)
