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.

For each of the following sublevels, give the n and l values and the number of orbitals: (a) 6g; (b) 4s; (c) 3d.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

(a) 6g. Shell 6, n = 6. Subshell g, l = 4. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 9

(b) 4s. Shell 4, n = 4. Subshell s, l = 0. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 1

(c) 3d. Shell 3, n = 3. Subshell d, l = 2. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 5

Explanation:

The rules for electron quantum numbers are:

1. Shell number, 1 ≤ n, n = 1, 2, 3...

2. Subshell number, 0 ≤ l ≤ n − 1, orbital s - 0, p - 1, d - 2, f - 3

3. Orbital energy shift, -l ≤ ml ≤ l

4. Spin, either -1/2 or +1/2

So,

(a) 6g. Shell 6, n = 6. Subshell g, l = 4. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 9

(b) 4s. Shell 4, n = 4. Subshell s, l = 0. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 1

(c) 3d. Shell 3, n = 3. Subshell d, l = 2. Number of orbitals in sublevel = 2l+1 = 5

8. What is the heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water?
valina [46]

Answer:

The heat of reaction when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water is :

<u>C. 571.6 kJ</u>

Explanation:

Enthalpy Change = The enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of the substance from their standard state is called the enthalpy of formation.

This is intensive quantity as it is fixed for 1 mole .

Intensive properties = Those properties which are independent on the amount of the substance are intensive properties.

The value of these quantities does not get halve if you divide the substance into two equal parts. example , density, refractive index.

However , the enthalpy of reaction is extensive. Because on increasing the amount the value of the enthalpy also get doubles

Hence for this reaction :

2H_{2}(g)+O_{2}\rightarrow 2H_{2}(l)

Its value is -285.8 kJ for 1 mole

And here two moles are present . so the value of molar enthalpy is:

-285.8 x 2 = -571.6 kJ
