Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to calculate the distance to an object. Explain why you think sonar is useful for sc

Answer:

<em>Sonar can be used to measure the depth of the seabed or the distance of any object, animal or a man-made vessel any other objects </em>

Explanation:

  • A sound wave or sound pulse is projected into the water.
  • If any object tends to come in the way of the pulse, an echo is produced or the signal is reflected back.
  • A transducer measures the strength of this signal and hence determines the depth of the object or the sea.

This is much better way of measuring distances under the sea since light alone is not able to pierce through the ocean after a certain distance.

A powerful sonar blast can help in taking multiple measurements at a time, while even a laser will find it difficult to reach below 3 km of depth.

At 25C the density of water is 0.997044 g/mL. Use this value to determine the percent error for the two density measurements
Gnom [1K]

Given that:

  • At 25C the density of water is 0.997044 g/mL.

From the information attached below, we have the following parameters.

The density of water calculation using a bottle.

     Initial volume of    Final volume of    Mass of water   Density (g/mL)

     burette (mL)        burette   (mL)       dispensed (g)

 

Sample 1      2.33                     7.34                   5.000               -----

Sample 2      7.34                    12.37                 5.025                -----

Sample 3      12.37                   18.50                6.112                  -----

Sample 4      18.50                  24.57               6.064                 -----

Sample 5     24.57                  31.31                6.720                  -----

The first thing we need to do is to determine the change in the volume of the burette in each sample from the above information.

  • The change in the volume of the burette = (final volume - the initial volume) mL

Sample 1:

= (7.34 - 2.33) mL

= 5.01 mL

Sample 2:

= (12.37 - 7.34) mL

= 5.03 mL

Sample 3:

= (18.50 - 12.37) mL

= 6.03 mL

Sample 4:

= (24.57 - 18.50) mL

= 6.07 mL

Sample 5:

= (31.31 - 24.57) mL

= 6.74 mL

The mass of the water dispersed in sample 1 is given as = 5.000 g

Using the relation for calculating the density of each, we have:

Sample 1

\mathbf{density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}}

\mathbf{density = \dfrac{5.01 g}{5.000 ml}}

density = 0.998004 g/ml

Sample 2:

\mathbf{density = \dfrac{5.025 g}{5.03ml}}

density = 0.999006 g/ml

Sample 3:

\mathbf{density = \dfrac{6.112 g}{6.13ml}}

density = 0.997064 g/ml

Sample 4:

\mathbf{density = \dfrac{6.064 \ g}{6.07 \ ml}}

density = 0.999012 g/ml

Sample 5:

\mathbf{density = \dfrac{6.720 \ g}{6.74 \ ml}}

density = 0.997033 g/ml

Thus, the average density for all the samples is:

\mathbf{= \dfrac{( 0.998004 + 0.999006 + 0.997064 +   0.999012  + 0.997033  )}{5}}

= 0.998024

∴

The percentage error for the two densities measurement is:

=\dfrac{ (experimental \  value -theoretical  \ value)\times 100 }{theoretical  \ value}

Given that the theoretical value = 0.997044 g/ml

Then;

\mathbf{= \dfrac{(0.998024 - 0.997044)100}{0.997044}}

= 0.0983%

Therefore, we can conclude that the percent error for the two density measurements is 0.0983%

g Sucrose (C12H22O11), a nonionic solute, dissolves in water (normal freezing/melting point 0.0°C) to form a solution. If some u
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

15.4 g of sucrose

Explanation:

Formula to be applied for solving these question: colligative property of freezing point depression. → ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution

Let's replace data given: 0°C - (-0.56°C) = 1.86 C/m . m

0.56°C / 1.86 m/°C = m → 0.301 mol/kg

m → molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

Our mass of solvent is not 1kg, it is 150 g. Let's convert it from g to kg, to determine the moles of solute: 150 g. 1kg/1000g = 0.150 kg

0.301 mol/kg .  0.150kg = 0.045 moles.

We determine the mass of sucrose, by the molar mass:

0.045 mol . 342 g/1mol = 15.4 g

What is a chemical change

Isn't a chemical change like something that's not a physical change or physically changed but is something that uses natural chemicals? that's my guess sorry if it's wrong I think I'm wrong though
