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.

An aqueous solution containing 17.5 g of an unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte) compound in 100.0 g of water has a freezing point
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

molar mass = 180.833 g/mol

Explanation:

  • mass sln = mass solute + mass solvent

∴  solute: unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte)

∴ solvent: water

∴ mass solute = 17.5 g

∴ mass solvent =  100.0 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ mass sln = 117.5 g

freezing point:

  • ΔTc = - Kc×m

∴ ΔTc = -1.8 °C

∴ Kc H2O = 1.86 °C.Kg/mol

∴ m: molality (mol solute/Kg solvent)

⇒ m = ( - 1.8 °C)/( - 1.86 °C.Kg/mol)

⇒ m = 0.9677 mol solute/Kg solvent

  • molar mass (Mw) [=] g/mol

∴ mol solute = ( m )×(Kg solvent)

⇒ mol solute = ( 0.9677 mol/Kg) × ( 0.100 Kg H2O )

⇒ mol solute = 0.09677 mol

⇒ Mw solute = ( 17.5 g ) / ( 0.09677 mol )

⇒ Mw solute = 180.833 g/mol

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is valuable to many industries. Low percent yields can result in the loss of large amou
aev [14]

Using accurate measurements, using pure chemicals and performing the reaction under the most ideal conditions is important to get a valuable percent yield.

<h3>How we calculate the percent yield?</h3>

Percent yield of any chemical reaction is define as the ratios of the actual yield to the theoretical yield of the product and multiply by the 100.

To get the high percent yield or actual yield of any reaction, we have to perform the reaction under ideal condition because if we not use the standard condition then we get the low rate of reaction. Reactants should be present in the pure form as impurity make unwanted products and reduce the productivity of main product and accurate amount of reactants also important for the spontaneous reaction.

Hence, options (a), (b) & (c) are correct.

Aspirin that has been stored for a long time may give a vinegar like odour and give a purple colour with FeCl3. What reaction wo
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The IUPAC name of aspirin is 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid. It is composed of an acetoxy moiety and a benzoic acid moiety.

The compound can be hydrolysed under prolonged storage conditions to yield acetic acid which causes the vinegar like odour.

Also, one of the products of this hydrolysis bears a phenol group which reacts with FeCl3 to give a purple color.

Aleks [24]

Answer : Option 4) Region of the most probable electron location.


Explanation : As per the electron cloud model of the atom, an orbital is a region where the probability of finding an electron is highest. According to this model which was used to identify the probable location of the electrons when they go around the nucleus of an atom.


This electron cloud model was different from the older Bohr atomic model by Niels Bohr.
