Answer:

.....false

Explanation:

the particles in the air are packed apart whereas the particles in steel are closely packed and sound travel faster in solids than in gasses..

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The speed of sound is quickest in mediums that have their molecules close apart.  The speed of sounds is quickest in solids, followed by liquids, and slowest in gasses.  The close the molecules are together, the quicker sound travels.  The sound would travel faster in the steel than in the air.

This is due to the fact that sound waves are compression waves.  This means that they rely on the way molecules collide with one another and act sort of like a spring.  

Fun fact: In the old days, people used to put their ears to the train tracks to see if a train is coming.  Sound moves so fast in metal that they can sense the vibrations miles before the train arrived.

A 25.0g sample of brass, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.375·J·g−1°C−1, is dropped into an insulated container containin
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of water is 25.6 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample of brass = 25.0 grams

The specific heat capacity = 0.375 J/g°C

Mass of water = 250.0 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0 °C

The initial temperature of the brass is 96.7°C

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium temperature

Heat lost = heat gained

Q(sample) = -Q(water)

Q = m*C* ΔT

m(sample)*c(sample)*ΔT(sample) = - m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒m(sample) = the mass of the sample of brass = 25.0 grams

⇒with c(sample) =The specific heat capacity = 0.375 J/g°C  

⇒with ΔT = the change of temperature = T2 - T1 =T2 - 96.7 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of the water = 250.0 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat capacity = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = T2 - 25.0°C

25.0 * 0.375 * (T2 - 96.7) = - 250.0 * 4.184 J/g°C * (T2 - 25.0°C)

9.375T2 - 906.56 = -1046T2 + 26150

9.375T2 + 1046T2 = 26150 + 906.56

1055.375T2 = 27056.26

T2 = 25.6 °C

The equilibrium temperature of water is 25.6 °C

Express the frequency in inverse seconds. n=4--&gt;n=3. Can you please tell me what formulas to use, because I have like 6 more
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

  • 1.60×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Explanation:

When an electron jumps from one energy level to a lower energy level some energy is released in the form of a photon.

The difference in energy between the two levels is the energy of the photon and that energy is related to the frequency of the photon by the Einstein - Planck equation:

  • E = hν

Where,

  • E = energy of the photon,
  • h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s, Planck constant, and
  • ν = frequency of the photon.

So, to find the frequency you must first find the energy.

The transition energy can be calculated using the formula:

  • Eₙ = - E₀ ( 1/ n²)

Where E₀ = 13.6 eV ( 1 eV = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ Joules) and n = 1,2,3,...

So, the transition energy between n = 4 and n = 3 will be:

  • ΔE = - E₀ [ 1/4² - 1/3²] = - 13.6 eV [1/16 - 1/9] = 0.6611. . .eV

  • ΔE = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ Joules/eV  × 0.6611... eV = 1.0591 ×10⁻¹⁹ Joules

Now you can use the Einstein - Planck equation:

  • E = hν
  • ν = E / h
  • ν = 1.0591 ×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s  = 1.60×10¹⁴ s⁻¹ (rounded to 3 significant figures).
