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.

33.56 g of fructose (C6H,206) and 18.88 g of water are mixed to obtain a 40.00 ml solution a. What is this solution's density? b
Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

Mass of fructose = 33.56 g

Mass of water =  18.88  g

Total mass of the solution =  Mass of fructose + Mass of water = M

M = 33.56 g + 18.88  g =52.44 g

Volume of the solution = V = 40.00 mL

Density =\frac{Mass}{Volume}

a) Density of the solution:

\frac{M}{V}=\frac{52.44 g}{40.00 mL}=1.311 g/mL

b) Molar mass of fructose = 180.16 g/mol

Moles of fructose = n_1=\frac{ 33.56 g}{180.16 g/mol}=0.1863 mol

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Moles of water= n_2=\frac{ 18.88 g}{18.02 g/mol}=1.0477 mol

Mole fraction of fructose in this solution:\chi_1

\chi_1=\frac{n_1}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{0.1863 mol}{0.1863 mol+1.0477 mol}

\chi_1=0.1510

Mole fraction of water = \chi_2=1-\chi_1=0.8490

c) Average molar mass of of the solution:

=\chi_1\times 180.16 g/mol+\chi_2\times 18.02 g/mol

=0.1510\times 180.16 g/mol+0.8490\times 18.02 g/mol=42.50 g/mol

d) Mass of 1 mole of solution = 42.50 g/mol

Density of the solution = 1.311 g/mL

d) Specific molar volume of the solution:

\frac{\text{Average molar mass}}{\text{Density of the mass}}

=\frac{42.50 g/mol}{1.311 g/mL}=32.42 mL/mol

The edge length of the unit cell of KCl (NaCl-like structure, FCC) is 6.28 Å. Assuming anion-cation contact along the cell edge,
Mila [183]

Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731 .................1

Also, the sum of the radius of the cation and the anion in FCC is equal to half of the edge length.

Thus,

r^++r^-=\frac {a}{2}  ...................2

Given that:

Cl^-\ (r^-) = 1.82\ \dot{A}

To find,

K^+\ (r^+) = ? \dot{A}

Using 1 and 2 , we get:

1.731\ r^+=0.731\times \frac {6.28}{2}

Given the following information, what is the concentration of H2O(g) at equilibrium? [H2S](eq) = 0.671 M [O2](eq) = 0.587 M Kc =
MAVERICK [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{c}

For a general chemical reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The expression for K_{eq} is written as:

K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

The concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in the expression.

For the given chemical reaction:

2H_2S(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2S(s)+2H_2O(g)

The expression of K_c for above equation is:

K_c=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{[H_2S]^2\times [O_2]}

We are given:

[H_2S]_{eq}=0.671M

[O_2]_{eq}=0.587M

K_c=1.35

Putting values in above expression, we get:

1.35=\frac{[H_2O]^2}{(0.671)^2\times 0.587}

[H_2O]=\sqrt{(1.35\times 0.671\times 0.671\times 0.587)}=0.597M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of water is 0.597 M
