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.

Answer:

Diffusion is driven by differences in concentration. When chemical substances such as perfume are let loose in a room, their particles mix with the particles of air. Diffusion in gases is quick because the particles in a gas move quickly. It happens even faster in hot gases because the particles of gas move faster.

To prepare an acetic acid/acetate buffer, a technician mixes 30.6 mL of 0.0880 acetic acid and 21.6 mL of 0.110 sodium acetate i

enyata [817]

Answer: There are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution in ml}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of acetic acid solution = 0.0880 M

Volume of solution = 30.6 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0880M=\frac{\text{Moles of acetic acid}\times 1000}{30.6ml}\\\\\text{Moles of acetic acid}=\frac{0.0880\times 30.6}{1000}=0.00269mol$

Thus there are 0.00269 moles of acetic acid in buffer.

How do chemists solve problems?

Westkost [7]

Answer:Chemistry problems can be solved using a variety of techniques.

Explanation: Many chemistry teachers and most introductory chemistry texts illustrate problem solutions using the factor-label method. ... The use of analogies and schematic diagrams results in higher achievement on problems involving moles, stoichiometry, and molarity. Hope this helped!

A 0.2722 g sample of a pure carbonate, X n CO 3 ( s ) , was dissolved in 50.0 mL of 0.1200 M HCl ( aq ) . The excess HCl ( aq )

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.

Explanation:

Number of moles of HCl present initially = $\frac{0.1200}{1000}\times 50.0$ moles = 0.00600 moles

Neutralization reaction (back titration): $NaOH+HCl\rightarrow NaCl+H_{2}O$

According to above equation, 1 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of 1 mol of HCl.

So, excess number of moles of HCl present = number of NaOH added for back titration = $\frac{0.0980}{1000}\times 23.60$ moles = 0.00231 moles

So, mole of HCl reacts with carbonate = (Number of moles of HCl present initially) - (excess number of moles of HCl present) = (0.00600 - 0.00231) moles = 0.00369 moles

Hence, 0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.
