Answer:

C is the only option that represents an empirical formula, as it can't be simplified further.

You can turn C8H18, for example: to C4H9, but you can't do the same with C2H5.

Let me know if this helps!

The heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are needed to change its temp

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$Q=9.2x10^5J$

$t=614s=10.2min$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can compute the energy by using the following formula for air:

$Q=nCp\Delta T$

Whereas the moles of air are computed via the ideal gas equation at room temperature inside the 5.5m x 6.5m x 3.0m-room:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\\V=5.5m*6.5m*3.0m=107.25m^3*\frac{1000L}{1m^3}=107250L\\ \\n=\frac{1atm*107250L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K}\\ \\n=4386.8mol$

Now, we are able to compute heat, by considering that the temperature raise is given in degree Celsius or Kelvins as well:

$Q=4386.8mol*21\frac{K}{mol*K}*10K \\\\Q=9.2x10^5J$

Finally, we compute the time required for the heating by considering the heating rate and the required heat, shown below:

$t=\frac{9.2x10^5J}{1.5\frac{kJ}{s}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ} } \\\\t=614s=10.2min$

Regards.

Ultrasound waves do not transmit easily through bone. State what you think happens to ultrasound waves when they reach a bone in

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Echo is the reflection of sound waves. Recall that ultrasound are also sound waves of high frequency.

When ultra sound meets an obstacle such as a bone, it is reflected backwards and gives rise to an echo back in the transducer.

Since ultrasound is high frequency sound wave wave; It does not passes through bone due to the high density of the bone, the data required may now be collected.

If after heating the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid, the mass of the magnesium chloride and beaker is measured

Allushta [10]

Since the beaker was heated we can asume that only magnesium cloride is left in the beaker, therfore the difference between the beaker with magnesium chloride and the empty beaker give the mass of magnisium chloride:

$\text{mass MgCl}_2=massbeakerwithMgCl_2-mass\text{ emprty beaker =37.83 g - 33.95g = 3.8}8g$

The majority of the mass of the atom is located in the _______. A) nucleus B) core electrons C) pions and quarks D) valence elec

NeX [460]

The majority of the mass of the atom is located in the nucleus. Remember that the nucleus contains both protons and neutrons and therefore, most of the mass of the atom.
