Chemistry
1 answer:
scoray [572]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The speed of seismic waves is affected by the density of the underlying rock.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that transmits elastic energy from one point to the other.

These waves generally produced during an earthquake.

  • The higher the density of rock bodies, the faster the wave travels.
  • Rocks that are well packed with little to no void have a higher seismic velocity.
  • Where density of rock is low, the speed is also low

If an atom has 15 protons, 14 neutrons, and 16 electrons, what is the atom's electrical charge? A. -2 B. +1 C. +3 D. -1
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The electrical charge of an atom having 15 proton, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct option is D.

What is an atom?

An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which comprises of central nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus in definite energy shells. The atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.

The electrical charge of an atom can be calculated as,

Charge of an atom = number of protons - number of electrons

Charge = 15 - 16 = -1.

The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge, the protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged in an atom.

Therefore, the charge of an atom with 15 protons, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct answer is option D.

A student investigated how much solid was dissolved in sea water.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

weighing balance/analytical balance

Graduated cylinder/buret

Explanation:

The mass of the evaporating basin could be measured using a weighing balance or an analytical balance. Both are classified as weighing scales but the analytical balance can measure the mass of objects up to 4 decimal places, thus, providing better accuracy in measurement than ordinary weighing balance that can only measure up to 2 decimal places.

In order to measure 50 cm3 of the sea water, a graduated cylinder or a buret can be used. Both equipment can measure up to the same decimal places and, thus, have virtually the same accuracy.
