Compare S (secondary) waves and P (primary) waves. Why do they travel at different speeds?

Chemistry

Amanda [17]3 years ago

S waves

  • These are shear waves .
  • The motion of the medium is perpendicular to  direction of propagation of the wave .
  • They can propagate only through solids and not through gases or liquids .
  • S waves are larger .
  • They travel with less speed .

P waves

  • These are compression waves .
  • These waves produces a force along the direction of propagation .
  • They can propagate through solids, gases and liquids.
  • P waves are smaller than s waves .
  • They travel with 60% greater speed than S waves .

P-waves travel 60% faster than S-waves on average because the interior part of the Earth does not react the same way as the s wave and P wave.

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in
otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.

How much mass defect is required to release 5.5 x 1020 J of energy?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer : The mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg

Explanation :

To calculate the mass defect for given energy released, we use Einstein's equation:

E=\Delta mc^2

E = Energy released = 5.5\times 10^{20}J

\Delta m = mass change = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

5.5\times 10^{20}Kgm^2/s^2=\Delta m\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

\Delta m=6111.111kg

Therefore, the mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg
