Which of the following is a difference between electromagnetic waves and sound waves?

1 answer:

4 0

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.

Answer:

$9.8ms^{-2}$

Explanation:

using the equation :

$acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity}{timetaken} \\ a =\frac{v-u}{t}$

where v is 98m/s

u is 0m/s

t is 10seconds

$a=\frac{98m/s- 0m/s}{10} \\a=\frac{98}{10}\\ a=9.8m/s^{2}$

How is a chemical change different from a physical change?

DaniilM [7]

A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

One of relatively few reactions that takes place directly between two solids at room temperature is In this equation, the in Ba(

yuradex [85]

Answer:

3.14 grams of ammonium thiocyanate must be used to react completely with 6.5 g barium hydroxide octahydrate.

Explanation:

$Ba(OH)_2.8H_2O(s)+NH_4SCN(s)\rightarrow Ba(SCN)_2(s)+8H_2O(l)+NH_3(g)$

The balance chemical equation is :

$Ba(OH)_2.8H_2O(s)+2NH_4SCN(s)\rightarrow Ba(SCN)_2(s)+10H_2O(l)+2NH_3(g)$

Mass of barium hydroxide octahydrate = 6.5 g

Moles of barium hydroxide octahydrate = $\frac{6.5 g}{315 g/mol}=0.020635 mol$

According to reaction, 2 moles of ammonium thiocyanate reacts with1 mole of barium hydroxide octahydrate. The 0.020635 moles of barium hydroxide octahydrate will react with:

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.020635 mol=0.04127 mol$
