How are electromagnetic waves different from mechanical waves?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreyy892 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space; mechanical waves can not  

Explanation:

The salient differences between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves is that electromagnetic waves can travel through empty spaces but mechanical waves cannot.

Mechanical waves always requires a material medium for their propagation. No known mechanical waves can pass through an empty vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves on the other hand can pass through vacuum. They do not require a material medium for propagation.

This makes them unlimited in their form and mode of propagation.

since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The number of protons is equal to the mass number of the element. Since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope. Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. There are three naturally-occurring isotopes of carbon.

23) What is the volume of 2.454 x 1024 atoms of nitrogen gas at STP?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d) V =  91.3 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of nitrogen = ?

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Number of atoms of nitrogen = 2.454×10²⁴ atoms

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of nitrogen by using Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022×10²³ atoms

2.454×10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022×10²³ atoms

0.407×10¹ mol

4.07 mol

Volume of nitrogen:

PV = nRT

1 atm × V = 4.07 mol ×0.0821 atm.L /mol.K ×273.15 K

V =  91.3 atm.L /1 atm

V =  91.3 L

What is the mass in grams of 85.32 mL of blood plasma with a density of 1.03 g/mL
sveticcg [70]
<span>Well if you're looking for grams, all you need to do is cancel out units. (ml)(g/ml)=g because the ml cancels out. Thus, multiply: (85.32ml)(1.03g/ml)=...I'll let you solve this. :) Good luck! Hope that helped. When in doubt, look at the units.</span>
