How does the density of a solid affect the speed of sound?

1 answer:

6 0

The speed of sound depends on the elasticity and density of the medium through which it is traveling, a.k.a sound travels faster in liquids than in gases and faster in solids than in liquids. The greater the elasticity and the lower the density, the faster sound travels in a medium.

How many total moles of ions are released when the following sample dissolves completely in water? Enter your answer in scientif

Katena32 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is $7.5\times 10^{-9}mol$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Formula units are defined as lowest whole number ratio of ions in an ionic compound. It is calculate by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number which is $6.022\times 10^{23}$

We are given:

Number of formula units of $Sr(HCO_3)_2=4.55\times 10^{15}$

As, $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of formula units are contained in 1 mole of a substance.

So, $4.55\times 10^{15}$ number of formula units will be contained in = $\frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 4.55\times 10^{15}=7.5\times 10^{-9}mol$ of strontium bicarbonate.

Hence, the number of moles of strontium bicarbonate is $7.5\times 10^{-9}mol$

Answer:

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down
