KiRa [710]3 years ago
8 0

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which statement describes a difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?

A. Mechanical waves cannot be longitudinal, but electromagnetic waves can.

B. Electromagnetic waves cannot move particles, but mechanical waves can.

C. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.

D. Mechanical waves do not transfer energy, but electromagnetic waves do.

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.

Explanation:

A wave is defined as a disturbance along a medium which transfers energy. Waves may be classified as mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves based on their medium of propagation.

A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. An example of a mechanical wave is sound waves. Sound waves are propagated in air.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for propagation. They can travel through space. An example of electromagnetic waves is light waves.

Classify methanal according to the position of the c=o group
seraphim [82]

Answer :  Methanal also known as Formaldehyde CH_{2}O is a chemical Aldehyde which contain ( -CHO) group.

Explanation :

In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group which contain a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom i.e, ( C=O).

     If carbonyl group is present in a compound then it can be a carboxylic (RCOOH), aldehyde (RCHO), ketone (RCOR'), ester ((RCOOR') or amide (RCONR'R") group.

Here are some functional groups naming according to the<em> IUPAC</em> rules and image also attached,

Carboxylic acid   →    (RCOOH)    →    ( name end in 'OIC ACID' )

Aldehyde             →    (RCOH)       →    ( name end in 'AL' )

Ketone                 →    (RCOR')       →    ( name end in 'ONE' )

Ester                     →    (RCOOR')    →    ( name end in 'ATE' )

Amide                   →    (RCONR'R") →    ( name end in 'AMIDE' )

In an aldehyde, atleast one hydrogen atom must be attached to the carbonyl carbon. For an aldehyde, remove ( -e) from alkane name and add ( -al) at the end of the compound.

Methanal is the IUPAC name for Formaldehyde.

How many grams of glucose are needed to prepare 144.3 mL of a 1.4%(m/v) glucose solution?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

2.0202 grams

Explanation:

1.4% (m/v) glucose solution means: 1.4g glucose/100mL solution.

so ?g glucose = 144.3 mL soln

Now apply the conversion factor, and you have:

?g glucose = 144.3mL soln x (1.4g glucose/100mL soln).

so you have (144.3x1.4/100) g glucose= 2.0202 grams
