The kind of seismic waves travel through the earth are Congressional longitudinal waves and shear transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are two kinds of seismic waves and they are the Congressional longitudinal waves and shear transverse waves.

They are called the P waves and S waves when they pass through the earth.

P waves are the primary because they are the fastest waves whereas S waves are the secondary since they are slower

P waves move as alternate compressions and dilations along the side of propagation

S waves move as alternate compression and transverse motion along the perpendicular side of propagation.

Answer:

It would be Body waves

Explanation:

There are two main types of waves, body and surface. Since surface waves can only move along the earths surface like water ripples. The answer would be body waves since it travels through earths inner layer

Given that a for HCN is 6. 2×10^−10 at 25 °C. What is the value of b for cn− at 25 °C?

Kay [80]

If Ka for HCN is 6. 2×10^−10 at 25 °C, then the value of Kb for cn− at 25 °C is 1.6 × 10^(-5).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3><h3 />

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 6.2× 10^(-10)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{6.2×10^(-10) }

= 1.6× 10^(-5)

Thus, the value of base dissociation constant at 25°C is 1.6 × 10^(-5).

If mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) were reacted to form mercury oxide how many molecules of each reactant and product would be need

dimulka [17.4K]

In order to get HgO you would need 2Hg+1O2=2HgO. Since oxygen is diatomic you need two when it stands alone causing you to need two mercuries to balance out the reactants and the product I hope this helps
