Why does sound travel faster in warm air

Chemistry
2 answers:
xz_007 [3.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Warm or hot air particles have more energy than that of cool air. As a result they move faster than cool air particles. Since sound propogation involves movement or vibration of particles, sound travels faster in warm air

Hope this helps!

Heat allows particles to gain more energy, including those in the air. This is why heating makes chemical reactions happen quicker. As the air particles have more energy, they will move faster and bump into each other faster, allowing for the sound to travel quicker

If total pressure of multiple gases is 512 mmHg, and the pressure of oxygen gas is 332 mmHg and the pressure of carbon monoxide
deff fn [24]

Answer: 67 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Gas Law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 512 mmHg

P(oxygen) = 332 mmHg

P(carbon mono-oxide) = 113 mmHg

Remaining pressure (P3) = ?

To get P3, apply Dalton's Gas Law formula

Ptotal = P(oxygen) + P(carbon mono-oxide) + P3

512 mmHg = 332 mmHg + 113 mmHg + P3

512 mmHg = 445 mmHg + P3

P3 = 512 mmHg - 445 mmHg

P3 = 67 mmHg

Thus, the remaining pressure is 67 mmHg

A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.800 g of sulfur S8, in 100.0 g of acetic acid, HC2H3O2. Calculate the freezing point and
sammy [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is 16.5°C and the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (S_8) = 0.800 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (S-8) = 256.52 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (acetic acid) = 100.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{0.800\times 1000}{256.52\times 100.0}\\\\\text{Molality of solution}=0.0312m

  • <u>Calculation for freezing point of solution:</u>

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of water and freezing point of solution.

\Delta T_f=\text{freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_f=iK_fm

or,

\text{Freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=iK_fm

where,

Freezing point of acetic acid = 16.6°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal freezing point depression constant = 3.59°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

16.6^oC-\text{freezing point of solution}=1\times 3.59^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=16.5^oC

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 16.5°C

  • <u>Calculation for boiling point of solution:</u>

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and freezing point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_b=iK_bm

or,

\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}=iK_fm

where,

Boiling point of acetic acid = 118.1°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal boiling point elevation constant = 3.08°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Boiling point of solution}-118.1^oC=1\times 3.08^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=118.2^oC

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C

The Group 1B metals, Cu, Ag, and Au, are called coinage metals. What chemical properties make them especially suitable for makin
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coinage metals -

The group 11 elements , i.e. , Copper , Silver , Gold are called the coinage metals .

These metals are quite soft and can be easily molded to form coins . This property is called as the property of malleability .

And due its soft nature , it can easily be used to make jewelry ,

Since , making jewels require the metal to be soft and flexible ,

Hence , gold is suited the best for this .
