In gas the speed of sound is 343.2 meters per second, in liquid the speed of sound is 1,484 meters per second and in solids like steel it travels 5,120 meters per second.

An easy way to think of this is that air is a gas. If you're talking in open air, sounds travels easiest.

When you're talking underwater, (liquid) you can faintly hear a noise. This is the second easiest.

Imagine talking through a wall. (solid) Is it easy or hard to hear the person on the other side of the wall? The answer is no, it is not easy. Solids are the hardest for sound to pass throught.

Due to radioactive decay over many millions of years, it is possible for the element uranium to decay in
ruslelena [56]

The uranium within these items is radioactive and should be treated with care. Uranium's most stable isotope, uranium-238, has a half-life of about 4,468,000,000 years. It decays into thorium-234 through alpha decay or decays through spontaneous fission.

When utilizing a transmission electron microscope, why is it necessary to stain the specimen with heavy metal salts?
Schach [20]
Staining specimen with heavy metal salts (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) allows you to see the specimen better with higher contrast when electron beam deflects off of your sample.

What is the enthalpy of formation (?H?f) of NaHCO3(s) from its constituent elements.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Enthalpy of formation = -947.68KJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation is the heat change when one mole of a substance is formed from its element in its standard states and in standard conditions of temperature and pressure. it may be positive or negative, if positive, it is an endothermic reaction where the heat content of the product is greater than that of the reactants, and if negative, it is exothermic reaction - where the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products. the enthalpy of formation is measured in KiloJoule/Moles (KJ/Mole).

From the value of the enthalpy of formation of NaHCO3, it shows that the reaction is exothermic, that is the formation of NaHCO3 from its constituents elements. As such, the heat content of the reactants is greater than the products.

The step by step explanation is shown in the attachment.
