Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air. This is why whales can communicate over huge distances in the oceans. Sound waves travel about thirteen times faster in wood than air. They also travel faster on hotter days as the molecules bump into each other more often than when it is cold.
Answer:
motor oil
Explanation:
According to Oxford dictionary, viscosity refers to ''a quantity expressing the magnitude of internal friction in a fluid, as measured by the force per unit area resisting uniform flow.''
The higher the molecular weight of a substance, the greater its viscosity. This is because, the long chains in the viscous substance become entangled thereby increasing the internal friction in the liquid.
Motor oil is a heavier hydrocarbon than gasoline hence it is more viscous than gasoline.
Answer:
- <u>2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m = 259 nm</u>
Explanation:
You need to calculate the wavelength of a photon with an energy equal to 463 kJ/mol, which is the energy to break an oxygen-hydrogen atom.
The energy of a photon and its wavelength are related by the Planck - Einstein equation:
Where:
- h = Planck constant (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J . s) and
- ν = frequency of the photon.
And:
Where:
- c = speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s in vacuum)
- λ = wavelength of the photon
Thus, you can derive:
Solve for λ:
Before substituting the values, convert the energy, 463 kJ/ mol, to J/bond
- 463 kJ/ mol × 1,000 J/kJ × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10 ²³ atom × 1 bond / atom
= 7.69×10²³ J / bond
Substitute the values and use the energy of one bond:
- λ = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J . s × 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s / 7.69×10²³ J = 2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m
The wavelength of light is usually shown in nanometers:
- 2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m × 10⁹ nm / m = 259 nm ← answer
Answer:
The answer to your question is: b. P - Br
Explanation:
Difference of electronegativities from the periodic table. The one with the highest electronegativity will be the most polar.
a.
H = 2.2
Se = 2.55
Electronegativity = 2.55 - 2.2 = 0.35
b.
P = 2.19
Br = 2.96
Electronegativity = 2.96 - 2.19 = 0.77
c.
N = 3.04
I = 2.66
Electronegativity = 3.04 - 2.66 = 0.38
