Answer:

b) empty space

Explanation:

A mechanical cannot travel through empty space. So option (b) is correct.

A mechanical wave is a wave which needs a material medium for its propagation. For example sound, water waves etc . The medium required by the wave can be a solid, liquid or a gas. Empty space doesn't have any medium, so a mechanical wave cannot travel through empty space.

What best describes why hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid?

ad-work [718]

Given what we know, we can confirm that hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid due to Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern.

<h3>What is a noncrystalline solid?</h3>

This is a solid whose atoms are amorphous.
What this means is that the atoms lack a specific order like most solids.
The most common example of this is glass.

Therefore, given the definition of a noncrystalline solid as a solid whose atoms lack a specified order, we can confirm that the second option which states that "Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern" is correct.

Suppose you are working with a NaOH stock solution but you need a solution with a lower concentration for your experiment. Calcu

Answer: The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL

Explanation:

In order to prepare the dilute NaOH solution, solvent is added to a given amount of the NaOH stock solution up to a final volume of 250.0 mL.

Since only solvent is added, the amount of the solute, NaOH, in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution.

Molarity (M) is calculated from the following equation:

M = n ÷ V

where n is the number of moles of the solute in the solution, and V is the volume of the solution.

Accordingly, the number of moles of the solute is given by

n = M x V

Now, let's designate the stock NaOH solution and the dilute solution as (1) and (2), respectively . The number of moles of NaOH in each of these solutions is:

n (1) = M (1) x V (1)

n (2) = M (2) x V (2)

As the amount of NaOH in the dilute solution is the same as in the volume taken from the stock solution,

n (1) = n (2)

and

M (1) x V (1) = M (2) x V (2)

For the stock solution, M (1) = 1.244 M, and V (1) is the volume needed. For the dilute solution, M (2) = 0,1281 M, and V (2) = 250.0 mL.

The volume of the stock solution needed, V (1), is calculated as follows:

V (1) = M (2) x V (2) ÷ M (1)

V (1) = 0.1281 M x 250.0 mL ÷ 1.224 M

V (1) = 26.16 mL

The volume of the 1.224 M NaOH solution needed is 26.16 mL.
