Answer : The new speed will be, 1.098v

Explanation :

The formula used for speed of sound in a container of gas is:

c=\sqrt{\frac{\gamma RT}{M}}

where,

c = speed of sound

R = gas constant

\gamma = adiabatic constant

T = absolute temperature

M = molecular mass of gas

As, c\propto \sqrt{T}

or, we can say that

\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}            .............(1)

Given:

T_1 = 20.0^oC=273+20.0=293K

T_1 = 80.0^oC=273+80.0=353K

c_1 = v

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

\frac{v}{c_2}=\sqrt{\frac{293}{353}}

c_2=1.098v

Thus, the new speed will be, 1.098v

Methanol (CH3OH) has a boiling point of -97°C. Methane (CH4) has a boiling point of -162°C. Which type of bonding explains why m
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer is: hydrogen bonding.

Methanol has stronger intermolecular bonds than methane.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

Buffering capacity refers to: the effectiveness of commercial antacids the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the
kirill [66]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Buffere is defined as the solution to whom when an acid or base is added then it resists any in change in pH of the solution.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. So, basically it keeps the concentration of both hydrogen ions and hydroxides equal. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

And, the capacity of a buffer solution to resist the change is known as buffer capacity.

Thus, we can conclude that buffering capacity refers to the extent to which a buffer solution can counteract the effect of added acid or base.
