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.

How can i prove that nascent oxygen more reactive than normal oxygen ?
laila [671]
Nascent oxygen has much higher reactivity than the oxygen bubbled through the reaction mixture. It doesn't stay nascent for long (you are right about it being converted quick to just O2), which is why it has to be generated in situ

Arrange the compounds by their reactivity toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.
swat32

Answer:

The order of reactivity towards electrophilic susbtitution is shown below:

a. anisole > ethylbenzene>benzene>chlorobenzene>nitrobenzene

b. p-cresol>p-xylene>toluene>benzene

c.Phenol>propylbenzene>benzene>benzoic acid

d.p-chloromethylbenzene>p-methylnitrobenzene> 2-chloro-1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene> 1-methyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Explanation:

Electron donating groups favor the electrophilic substitution reactions at ortho and para positions of the benzene ring.

For example: -OH, -OCH3, -NH2, Alkyl groups favor electrophilic aromatic substitution in benzene.

The -I (negative inductive effect) groups, electron-withdrawing groups deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Examples: -NO2, -SO3H, halide groups, Carboxylic acid groups, carbonyl gropus.
