Answer:

Warm Room

Explanation:

Let's establish two things first.

Sound is a form of energy.
Waves are made by the oscillation (up, down and sideways movement) of partials. When partials oscillate, they transfer energy by bumping into each other.

Sound wave are waves that are created by the oscillation of air particles and carry sound energy from point A to point B.

In a warm room, the air particles have higher energy compared to a cold room. Hence, they bump into each other more frequently. 

This allow them to transfer the sound energy quickly and easily from one partial to another.

Hence, sound travels faster in warm room then in cold room.

Answer:

Explanation:

Sound travels outwards from the source in all directions. So there you have it sound does travel faster in warm air BUT it may appear to travel farther in cold air. This is how that works……if the air close to the ground is colder than the air above it then sound waves travelling upwards will be bent downwards.

The equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction is 0.497 at 500K.PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)If an equilibrium mixture of t

Anestetic [448]

Answer: The equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl2(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ for above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times p_{PCl_3}}{p_{PCl_5}}$

We are given:

$K_p=0.497\\p_{PCl_3}=0.651atm\\p_{PCl_5}=0.471atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.497=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times 0.651}{0.471}\\\\p_{Cl_2}=0.360atm$

Hence, the equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm

A sample of water contains 5.24x10^22 molecules. How many moles are in this sample?

Helga [31]

Answer:

0.087 moles of water

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of water = 5.24×10²² molecules

Number of moles of water = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

5.24×10²² molecules × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.87×10⁻¹ mol

0.087 mol

Avogadro number:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance. The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

In a percentage composition investigation a compound was decomposed into its elements: 20.0 g of calcium, 6.0 g of carbon, and 2

inysia [295]

The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

Ca-calcium

$\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%$

C-carbon

$\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%$

O-oxygen

$\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%$
