Sound waves are transverse mechanical waves. True False

Chemistry
1 answer:
allochka39001 [22]3 years ago
7 0

False

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium to propagate them.

  • A transverse wave is a wave that is propagated perpendicularly to its source.
  • An example is electromagnetic radiation.
  • A longitudinal wave is a wave that is directed parallel to their source.
  • Sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
  • It has series of rarefaction and compression along its travel path.
  • Rarefaction are areas of sparse particles.
  • Compression are areas with dense particles.

The vapor pressure of water at 45oC is 71.88 mmHg. What is the vapor pressure of a sugar (C12H22O11) solution made by dissolving
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

69.79 mmHg is the pressure for the solution

Explanation:

Formula for vapor pressure lowering:

Vapor pressure of pure solvent(P°) - Vapor pressure of solution (P') = P° . Xm

Xm → Molar fraction of solute (moles of solute / Total moles)

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

Let's determine the moles:

50.36 g . 1mol/342 g = 0.147 moles of sugar

88.69 g. 1mol/ 18g = 4.93 moles of water

Total moles = 0.147 + 4.93 = 5.077 moles

Xm = 0.147 / 5.077 = 0.0289

If we replace data given in the formula:

71.88 mHg - P' = 71.88 mmHg . 0.0289 . 0.0289

P' = - (71.88 mmHg . 0.0289 - 71.88 mmHg)

P' = 69.79 mmHg

Melting of ice is a spontaneous reaction at room temperature and pressure because melting is accompanied by _____.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

An increase in entropy

Explanation:

In ice, the molecules are very well ordered because of the H-bonds. As ice melts, the intermolecular forces are broken (requires energy), but the order is interrupted (so entropy increases). Water is more random than ice, so ice spontaneously melts at room temperature.

Just think about this rationally. Melting ice (or anything) will require heat put in (this is called the latent heat of fusion), so you automatically know that the change in enthalpy is going to be positive. In order to make the reaction spontaneous, delta G, the Gibbs free energy has to be negative. So now look at the formula Delta(G) = Delta(H) - T*Delta*(S). If you know that g is negative, and H is positive, then it is only possible if -T*Delta(S) is negative. If that is positive, then Delta(S) has to be positive. So theres your answer :). An increase in entropy
