Answer:

The question should be correctly written as:

The particles of longitudinal waves vibrate by pushing together and moving apart parallel to the direction in which the wave travels. The place on the wave that is pushed closest together is called the _____ and the place that is pulled farthest apart is called the _______

The answer to the question is:

The particles of longitudinal waves vibrate by pushing together and moving apart parallel to the direction in which the wave travels. The place on the wave that is pushed closest together is called the <u>compressions</u> and the place that is pulled farthest apart is called the <u>rarefactions.</u>

Explanation:

Longitudinal waves are waves consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration in which the displacement of the individual particles of the medium is parallel to the direction of wave travel. In other words, longitudinal waves are waves that move in the same direction, or are parallel to their source. Examples of longitudinal waves include: sound waves. ultrasound waves. seismic P-waves.

A compression is where the particles of the medium are closest together, it happens when molecules are forced together. Compression is like the crest or peak of the wave.

Rarefaction occurs when molecules are given extra space and allowed to expand. Rarefaction is the opposite of compression and is where the particles are stretched apart and they are regions of low pressure.

A demonstration of compression and rarefaction can be seen in sound waves, where, sound waves can be regarded as a succession of compressions followed by rarefactions.

How many moles of phosphoric acid would be needed to produce 15 grams of water?
bekas [8.4K]

Moles of phosphoric acid would be needed : 0.833

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

15 grams of water

Required

moles of phosphoric acid

Solution

Reaction(decomposition) :

H3PO4 -> H2O + HPO3

mol water (H2O :

= mass : MW

= 15 g : 18 g/mol

= 0.833

From the equation, mol ratio H3PO4 = mol H2O = 1 : 1, so mol H3PO4 = 0.833

What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)
