Answer:

ν = 1483.939 m/s

Explanation:

Wave propagation speed (ν):

  • ν = λ / T

∴ Wavelength ( λ ) = 4.25 m

∴ Period ( T ) = 1 / f

∴ frequency ( f ) = 349.2 Hz ( s-1 )

⇒ T = 1 / 349.2 s-1

⇒ T = 2.864 E-3 s

⇒ ν = (4.25 m) / (2.864 E-3 s)

⇒ ν = 1483.939 m/s

<u>Answer:</u> The wave speed of the given sound wave is 1.48\times 10^3m/s  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wave speed is defined as the product of its wavelength and frequency.

Mathematically,

\text{Wave speed}=\lambda\times \nu

where,

\lambda = wavelength of the wave = 4.25 m

\nu = frequency of the wave = 349.2 Hz = 349.2s^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Wave speed}=4.25m\times 349.2s^{-1}\\\\\text{Wave speed}=1484.1m/s=1.48\times 10^3m/s

Hence, the wave speed of the given sound wave is 1.48\times 10^3m/s

When the temperature of the air is 25°C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer ; The correct answer is : 346 m/s .

Sound is a type of longitudinal wave , which is produced when a matter compress or refracts .

Speed of sounds depends on factors like medium , density , temperature etc .

Effect of Temperature on speed of sounds :

When the temperature increases , molecules gains energy and they starts vibrating and with higher temperature vibration becomes fast . So the waves of sounds can travel faster due to faster vibrations . Hence , speed of sounds is directly proportional to the temperature or speed of sounds increases with increase in temperature .

The speed of sounds at 0⁰C is 331 \frac{m}{s}

The relation between speed of sound and temperature is given as :

V = 331 \frac{m}{s}  + ( 0.6 \frac{m}{s- ^0C} * T  )

Given : Temperature = 25 ⁰ C

Plugging values in formula =>

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + (0.6 \frac{m}{s-^0C}  * 25^0C)

V = 331 \frac{m}{s} + 15 \frac{m}{s}

V =  346 \frac{m}{s}

Which is the correct statement regarding the relative Rf values of the starting methyl benzoate vs the product, methyl m-nitrobe
Marianna [84]

Answer:

1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).

Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.

In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate  and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition

Liquid Q is a polar solvent and liquid R is a nonpolar solvent. On the basis of this information, you would expect:
bearhunter [10]
4) is correct
This is because water is polar and it will mix with a polar solvent. A good rule for remembering the behavior of non-polar and polar compounds when it comes to being miscible is that "like dissolves like."
