The correct answers are A) determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer. C) represents the amount of energy released. D) uses a logarithmic scale.

The news media often report an earthquake's magnitude on the Richter scale. The following items are characteristics of a Richter earthquake magnitude: determined from the amplitude recorded by a single seismometer, represents the amount of energy released, and uses a logarithmic scale.

When measuring the scale of the magnitude of earthquakes, the Richter scale measures the scale od moderated size earthquakes. It was invented by two United States seismologists: Charles F. Richer and Beno Gutenberg. They developed the measure in California when they were researching from 1927 through 1936, in the Seismological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in Pasadena, California.

A 15.00 mL sample of a solution of H2SO4 of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.3200M NaOH. the titration required 21.30 m
natima [27]

Answer:

a. 0.4544 N

b. 5.112 \times 10^{-5 M}

Explanation:

For computing the normality and molarity of the acid solution first we need to do the following calculations

The balanced reaction

H_2SO_4 + 2NaOH = Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O

NaOH\ Mass = Normality \times equivalent\ weight \times\ volume

= 0.3200 \times 40 g \times 21.30 mL \times  1L/1000mL

= 0.27264 g

NaOH\ mass = \frac{mass}{molecular\ weight}

= \frac{0.27264\ g}{40g/mol}

= 0.006816 mol

Now

Moles of H_2SO_4 needed  is

= \frac{0.006816}{2}

= 0.003408 mol

Mass\ of\ H_2SO_4 = moles \times molecular\ weight

= 0.003408\ mol \times 98g/mol

= 0.333984 g

Now based on the above calculation

a. Normality of acid is

= \frac{acid\ mass}{equivalent\ weight \times volume}

= \frac{0.333984 g}{49 \times 0.015}

= 0.4544 N

b. And, the acid solution molarity is

= \frac{moles}{Volume}

= \frac{0.003408 mol}{15\ mL \times  1L/1000\ mL}

= 0.00005112

=5.112 \times 10^{-5 M}

We simply applied the above formulas

A thick oak wall initially at 25°C is suddenly exposed to gases for which T =800°C and h =20 W/m2.K. Answer the following questi
Schach [20]

Answer:

a) What is the surface temperature, in °C, after 400 s?

   T (0,400 sec) = 800°C

b) Yes, the surface temperature is greater than the ignition temperature of oak (400°C) after 400 s

c) What is the temperature, in °C, 1 mm from the surface after 400 s?

   T (1 mm, 400 sec) = 798.35°C

Explanation:

oak initial Temperature = 25°C = 298 K

oak exposed to gas of temp = 800°C = 1073 K

h = 20 W/m².K

From the book, Oak properties are e=545kg/m³   k=0.19w/m.k   Cp=2385J/kg.k

Assume: Volume = 1 m³, and from energy balance the heat transfer is an unsteady state.

From energy balance: \frac{T - T_{\infty}}{T_i - T_{\infty}} = Exp (\frac{-hA}{evCp})t

Initial temperature wall = T_i

Surface temperature = T

Gas exposed temperature = T_{\infty}
