Answer: The earthquake will be 1000 times more intense when it is measured 8 on the Richter scale.

Explanation: Richter scale is the numerical scale which measures the intensity of earthquake with the help of seismographic oscillations.

Each level on the Richter scale is 10 times stronger than the previous one.

Richter scale measuring 8 is three levels up than the value 5 on the scale.

Hence, the earthquake having 8 on the Richter scale will be ( 10 × 10 × 10) = 1000 times more intense than the earthquake having 5 on the Richter scale.

The answer on edguinity is A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times more intense than a magnitude 5 earthquake. A magnitude 8 earthquake is 108 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while a magnitude 5 earthquake is 105 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 108 ÷ 105 = 103. Each unit increase on the Richter scale corresponds to an intensity increase by a factor of 10. So from 5 to 8 on the Richter scale, the intensity increases by 103 = 1,000.

The number of particles in 1 mole of hydrogen gas is ________.
ivanzaharov [21]
Hidrogen gas is a diatomic gas, this is H2, which means that one molecule of gas has two atoms (every molecule of hydrogen gas consists in H2).

The particles in gases are the molecules, not atoms.

So, every molecule is a particle, and when you are told that you have 1 mole of hygrogen gas means that you have 1 mole of H2 molecules which is the same that 1 mole of particles.

Therefore, the answer is one mole.

How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react with 1 Mole of sulphuric acid?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Two moles.

Explanation:

Sulphuric (sulfuric) acid \rm H_2SO_4 is a diprotic acid. When one mole of \rm H_2SO_4 molecules dissolve in water, two moles of \rm H^{+} ions would be produced.

\rm H_2SO_4 \to 2\, H^{+} + {SO_4}^{2-}.

On the other hand, sodium hydroxide \rm NaOH is a monoprotic base. When one mole of \rm NaOH formula units dissolve in water, only one mole of hydroxide ions \rm OH^{-} would be produced.

\rm NaOH \to Na^{+} + OH^{-}.

Note that \rm H^{+} and \rm OH^{-} react at a one-to-one ratio:

\rm H^{+} + OH^{-} \to H_2O.

As a result, it would take 2\; \rm mol of \rm OH^{-} to react with the \rm 2\; mol of \rm H^{+} that was released when 1\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4 is dissolved in water. Since one mole of \rm NaOH formula units could produce only one mole of \rm OH^{-}, it would take \rm 2\; mol of \rm NaOH formula units to produce that 2\; \rm mol of \rm OH^{-} for reacting with 1\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4.

At a given temperature the vapor pressure of pure liquid benzene and toluene are 745 torr and 290 torr, respectively. A solution
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of benzene over the solution is 253 torr

Explanation:

According to Raoult's law for a mixture of two liquid component A and B-

vapour pressure of a component (A) in solution = x_{A}\times P_{A}^{0}

vapour pressure of a component (B) in solution = x_{B}\times P_{B}^{0}

Where x_{A},x_{B} are mole fraction of component A and B in solution respectively

P_{A}^{0},P_{B}^{0} are vapour pressure of pure A and pure B respectively

Here mole fraction of benzene in solution is 0.340 and vapour pressure of pure benzene is 745 torr

So, vapour pressure of benzene in solution = 0.340\times 745 torr

                                                                         = 253 torr

What is the number of electron and neutron protons in atom 35?
Fittoniya [83]
The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80<span> and 35 protons so </span>80<span>-35 = </span>45<span> neutrons. b) How many electrons does the neutral atom of bromine have? The neutral atom of bromine has 35 electrons because the number of electrons equals the number of protons.</span>
