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.

1.5 mol sample he occupies a volume of 2.5 L at a pressure of 14.7 atm what will be the pressure of a 1.5 mol sample of h2 gas u
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Under the same conditions, the pressure of a 1.5 mol H2 sample is 14.7 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles He = 1.5 moles

Volume = 2.5 L

Pressure of the He sample = 14.7 atm

Step 2: Calculate pressure of H2 gas

p(He) * V(He) = n(He) *R*T

⇒Pressure of Helium gas = 14.7 atm

⇒ Volume of the helium sample = 2.5L

⇒ The number of moles He = 1.5 moles

⇒R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒T = The temperature

p(H2) * V(H2) = n(H2) *R*T

Since the conditions are the same:

-Volume of both samples is 2.5L

- Temperature for both is the same

- the gas constant for both is the same (constant)

- The number of moles for both samples is 1.5 moles

Since all the factor are the same, the pressure will also be the same = 14.7 atm

⇒ Volume of the h2 sample = 2.5L

⇒ The number of moles H2 = 1.5 moles

⇒R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒T = The temperature = same temperature

⇒Pressure of H2 gas = 14.7 atm

Under the same conditions, the pressure of a 1.5 mol H2 sample is 14.7 atm

Assume that the partial pressure of sulfur dioxide, pso2, is equal to the partial pressure of dihydrogen sulfide, ph2s, and ther
xenn [34]
Given:

Sulfur dioxide and dihydrogen sulfide system

Vapor Pressure of water, H2O = 23 torr

P_SO2 = P_H2S

Temperature of the system = 298 K

Assume: Total pressure of the system is 1 atm = 760 torr

If partial pressure of SO2 is equal to the concentration of H2S, then,

760 = 0.5*PSO2 + 0.5PH2S
760 = PSO2

0. Give an example of how an organism can use surface tension.<br><br><br>​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In case of plants surface tension help to support the transpiration pull.

Explanation:

Surface tension is a force that hold the molecules in the surface to minimize the surface area.

   During evaporation of excess amount of water from the stomata of leaves of plants by transpiration a surface tension is generated.

   The generated surface tension helps to maintain the water column within the xylem tissue by the absorption of water from the soil by the roots.
