Which type of seismic waves produces the most severe ground movement?

1 answer:

8 0

The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point and then start moving outwards in a circle.

How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.

You pimp air into your volleyball the ball mass is?

Mumz [18]

Answer: When it comes to maintaining your volleyball ball, there are some things you should get accustomed to doing. One of the most important is knowing how to inflate it. The professionals keep the psi of a ball at 0.3 to 0.325 for indoor balls and at 0.175 to 0.225 for beach, or outdoor, balls.

In the following equation:

Luda [366]

Answer:

FeCl₃

Explanation:

4FeCl₃ + 3O₂ => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂

Given => 7moles 9moles

A simple way to determine which reagent is the limiting reactant is to convert all given data to moles then divide by the respective coefficients of the balanced equation. The smaller value will be the limiting reactant.

4FeCl₃ + 3O₂ => 2Fe₂O₃+ 6Cl₂

Given => 7/4 = 1.75* 9/3 = 3

*Smaller value => FeCl₃ is limiting reactant.

NOTE: However, when working problems, one must use original mole values given.

A solution is made by dissolving 0.0150 mol of HF in enough water to make 1.00 L of solution. At 26 °C, the osmotic pressure of

Alex777 [14]

Given:
M = 0.0150 mol/L HF solution
T = 26°C = 299.15 K
π = 0.449 atm

Required:
percent ionization

Solution:
First, we get the van't Hoff factor using this equation:
π = i MRT
0.449 atm = i (0.0150 mol/L) (0.08206 L atm / mol K) (299.15 K)
i = 1.219367

Next, calculate the concentration of the ions and the acid.
We let x = [H+] = [F-]
[HF] = 0.0150 - x

Adding all the concentration and equating to iM
x +x + 0.0150 - x = <span>1.219367 (0.0150)
x = 3.2905 x 10^-3

percent dissociation = (x/M) (100) = (3.2905 x 10-3/0.0150) (100) = 21.94%

Also,
percent dissociation = (i -1) (100) = (</span><span>1.219367 * 1) (100) = 21.94%</span>
