Answer:

Mechanical waves require a medium and electromagnetic waves do not.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are essentially a combination of electric and magnetic fields produced by the motion of charged particles. They do not require a medium to travel and can simply propagate through space. For example, light waves are electromagnetic waves

Mechanical waves are energy waves that are produced by inducing a certain disturbance in a medium. These waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel in empty space. For example, sound waves are mechanical waves.

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

Mechanical waves require a medium and electromagnetic waves do not.

Hope this helps :)

How many grams of calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) re theoretically produced if we start with 3.40 moles of Ca(NO3)2 and 2.40moles

sattari [20]

1) Balance the chemical equation.

$3Ca(NO_3)_2+2Li_3PO_4\rightarrow6LiNO_3+Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

2) List the known and unknown quantities.

Reactant 1: Ca(NO3)2.

Amount of substance: 3.40 mol.

Reactant 2: Li3PO4.

Amount of substance: 2.40 mol.

Product: Ca3(PO4)2

Mass: unknown.

3) Which is the limiting reactant?

3.1-How many moles of Li3PO4 do we need to use all of the Ca(NO3)2?

The molar ratio between Li3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2 is 2 mol Li3PO4: 3 mol Ca(NO3)2.

$mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4=3.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2*\frac{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4}{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}=2.2667\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4$

We need 2.2667 mol Li3PO4 and we have 2.40 mol Li3PO4. We have enough Li3PO4. This is the excess reactant.

3.2-How many moles of Ca(NO3)2 do we need to use all of the Li3PO4?

The molar ratio between Li3PO4 and Ca(NO3)2 is 2 mol Li3PO4: 3 mol Ca(NO3)2.

$mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2=2.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4*\frac{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}{2\text{ }mol\text{ }Li_3PO_4}=3.60\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2$

We need 3.60 mol Ca(NO3)2 and we have 3.40 mol Ca(NO3)2. We do not have enough Ca(NO3)2. This is the limiting reactant.

4) Moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced from the limiting reactant.

We have 3.40 mol Ca(NO3)2 of the limiting reactant.

The molar ratio between Ca(NO3)2 and Ca3(PO4)2 is 3 mol Ca(NO3)2: 1 mol Ca3(PO4)2.

$mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=3.40\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2*\frac{1\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}{3\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca(NO_3)_2}=1.1313\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

5) Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced.

The molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 is 310.1767 g/mol.

$g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=1.1333\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2*\frac{310.1767\text{ }g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}{1\text{ }mol\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2}$ $g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2=351.526\text{ }g\text{ }Ca_3(PO_4)_2$

The mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced is 351 g Ca3(PO4)2.

What is the minimum pressure in kPa that must be applied at 25 °C to obtain pure water by reverse osmosis from water that is 0.1

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The minimum pressure should be 901.79 kPa

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 25°C

Molarity of sodium chloride = 0.163 M

Molarity of magnesium sulfate = 0.019 M

Step 2: Calculate osmotic pressure

The formula for the osmotic pressure =

Π=MRT.

⇒ with M = the total molarity of all of the particles in the solution.

⇒ R = gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 25 °C = 298 K

NaCl→ Na+ + Cl-

MgSO4 → Mg^2+ + SO4^2-

M = 2(0.163) + 2(0.019 M)

M = 0.364 M

Π = (0.364 M)(0.08206 atm-L/mol-K)(25 + 273 K)

Π = 8.90 atm

(8.90 atm)(101.325 kPa/atm) = 901.79 kPa

The minimum pressure should be 901.79 kPa
