What happens to a wave when it reaches the boundary between two media.

Chemistry

Answer:

When a wave reaches a boundary between two media, usually some or all of the wave bounces back into the first medium. The return of a wave back into its original medium is called reflection. ... When light is incident on a rough surface, light is reflected in many directions.

Hybridization of NH3​
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Sp3 hybridization

Explanation:

The NH3 molecule, which consists of one lone pairs and three bond pair of electron on its valance shell due to lone pair bond pair repulsion makes bond angle of 107.5°resulting distorted tetrahedral geometry.

Hybridization =no. of bond pair +lone pair=3+1=4=sp3 hybridization

For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugati
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Br- Withdraws electrons inductively

       Donates electrons by resonance

CH2CH3 - Donates electrons by hyperconjugation

NHCH3- Withdraws electrons inductively

              Donates electrons by resonance

OCH3 -  Withdraws electrons inductively

              Donates electrons by resonance

+N(CH3)3 - Withdraws electrons inductively

                   

Explanation:

A chemical moiety may withdraw or donate electrons by resonance or inductive effect.

Halogens are electronegative elements hence they withdraw electrons by inductive effect. However, they also contain lone pairs so the can donate electrons by resonance.

Alkyl groups donate electrons by hyperconjugation involving hydrogen atoms.

-NHCH3  and contain species that have lone pair of electrons which can be donated by resonance. Also, the nitrogen and oxygen atoms are very electron withdrawing making the carbon atom to have a -I inductive effect.

+N(CH3)3 have no lone pair and is strongly electron withdrawing by inductive effects.

Which statement is true? A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic. A
victus00 [196]

Answer:

A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction depends on the Gibbs free energy(ΔG).

  • If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
  • If ΔG > 0, the reaction is nonspontaneous.

ΔG is related to the enthalpy (ΔH) and the entropy (ΔS) through the following expression:

ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS

where,

T is the absolute temperature (always positive)

Regarding the exchange of heat:

  • If ΔH < 0, the reaction is exothermic.
  • If ΔH > 0, the reaction is endothermic.

<em>Which statement is true? </em>

<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic. </em>TRUE. If ΔS < 0, the term -T.ΔS > 0. ΔG can be negative only if ΔH is negative.

<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS > 0, the term -T.ΔS < 0. ΔG can be negative if ΔH is negative.

<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system decreases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS < 0, the term -T.ΔS > 0. ΔG cannot be negative if ΔH is positive.

<em>A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.</em> FALSE. If ΔS > 0, the term -T.ΔS < 0. ΔG can be negative even if ΔH is positive, as long as |T.ΔS| > |ΔH|.

Find the volume. mass is 9.75 g and the density is 15.6 g/cm3​
Leni [432]

Answer:

1.6cm3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

15.6g/cm3= 9.75 g/volume

15.6/9.75 = volume

1.6cm3 = volume
