a) Chicago: 3 min, Savannah: 4 min, Seattle: 4 min

b) Chicago: 1800 km, Savannah and Seattle: 2600 km

c) Using the intersection between the 3 circles

Explanation:

a)

In this part, we want to find the difference in arrival time between P waves and S waves for each city.

For Chicago, we have:

- P waves arrival time: 3 min, 40 s

- S waves arrival time: 6 min, 40 s

So the difference in arrival time is:

\Delta t = 6 min, 40 s - 3 min, 40 s = 3 min = 180 s

For Savannah, we have:

- P waves arrival time: 4 min, 50 s

- S waves arrival time: 8 min, 50 s

So the difference in arrival time is:

\Delta t = 8 min, 50 s - 4 min, 50 s = 4 min = 240 s

For Seattle, we have:

- P waves arrival time: 2 min, 55 s

- S waves arrival time: 6 min, 55 s

So the difference in arrival time is:

\Delta t = 6 min, 55 s - 2 min, 55 s = 4 min = 240 s

b)

Here we want to find the distance of each city from the epicentre of the earthquake.

In order to do that, for each city we have to take the difference in arrival time between P waves and S waves, look at the corresponding value in the graph (y-value), and then check what is the corresponding value on the x-axis, which gives the distance from the epicentre.

For chicago, we know that

\Delta t = 3 min

Interpolating the graph, we see that a time difference of 3 min corresponds approximately to a distance of 1800 km from the epicentre.

For Savannah and Seattle, we know that

\Delta t = 4 min

Interpolating the graph, we see that a time difference of 4 min corresponds approximately to a distance of 2600 km from the epicentre.

c)

The information from 3 different cities can be used to determine the exact location of the earthquake's epicentre.

In fact, we now know the distance of the epicentre of the earthquake from each city.

If we only have this information from 1 city, we would only be able to draw a circle with centre in the city and radius equal to the distance from the epicentre, and each point along the circle would be a potential location for the epicentre.

If we had informations from 2 cities, we could draw 2 circles each centered on one city, and we would have two intersections between the two circles, which would give us 2 potential locations of the epicenter.

Instead, if we have 3 cities, we can draw 3 circle, and there is only 1 point of intersection between the 3 circles: that point is the location of the epicenter.

What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

The following three equations represent reactions done in this lab exercise. Classify each reaction by their type. Note there ma
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 1. Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) : oxidation reduction

2. Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq) : precipitation

3. CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l) : Double displacement

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place. Double displacement reaction in which one of the product remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Such double displacement reaction are called as precipitation reaction.

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Synthesis/Combination reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

The element copper has 29 protons. What is the atomic number of copper?
stiks02 [169]
The atomic number of copper is 29.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)
