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.

The air all around us is a mixture of gasses containing nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Total pressure = 4.57 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 1.3 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr

Partial pressure of argon = 0.015 atm

Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

First of all we convert the units other into atm.

Partial pressure of oxygen = 1824 mmHg / 760 = 2.4 atm

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 247 torr / 760 = 0.325 atm

Partial pressure of water vapor = 53.69 kpa / 101 = 0.53 atm

Total pressure = Partial pressure of N +  Partial pressure of O +  Partial pressure of CO₂ +  Partial pressure of Ar +  Partial pressure of water vapor

Total pressure = 1.3 atm + 2.4 atm + 0.325 atm + 0.015 atm + 0.53 atm

Total pressure = 4.57 atm

The substances sodium (Na), oxygen (O2), and sodium oxide (Na2O) participate in this chemical reaction:
Andrews [41]

The chemical reaction involving sodium and oxygen as given in the reaction: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O is a synthesis reaction.

<h3>What are chemical reactions?</h3>

Chemical reactions are changes which occur in the chemical composition of atoms of substances which results in the formation of new substances.

There are different types of chemical reactions such as:

  • synthesis reaction
  • displacement reaction
  • double displacement reactions

A synthesis reaction is a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new product.

Therefore, the chemical reaction involving sodium and oxygen as given in the reaction: 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O is a synthesis reaction.
