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.

Meera added blue copper sulphate crystals to some water in a beaker.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The solid crystals disappeared

Explanation:

When a soluble solid solute is added to water, the solid solute disappears after a little while. The disappearance of this solute indicates that the solute has been dissolved in water.

In this case, blue copper sulphate crystals are added to water, the blue crystals disappear leaving only a blue solution. The disappearance of these blue copper sulphate crystals indicates that the substance has dissolved in water.

Explain why the several different types of microscopes are all necessary.
givi [52]
The different types of microscopes are all necessary because not all experiments require the same level of magnification. For dissections low magnification is sufficient, so a dissecting microscope works very well, while for viewing single cells the 1000 fold magnification of a compound light microscope is more accurate.

Given the following information: benzoic acid = C6H5COOH hydrocyanic acid = HCN C6H5COOH is a stronger acid than HCN (1) Write t
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The net ionic equation is

C6H5COOH+ CN-= C6H5COO- + HCN

Explanation:

From the ionic equation

C6H5COOH + Na+ + CN- = C6H5COO- + Na+ + HCN

Only sodium is the spectator ion, so it cancels out, since C6H5COOH and HCN do not ionize completely they are left undissociated
