The statements are;

A) All waves travel at the same speed if no medium is present.

B) Electromagnetic waves require a medium, but mechanical waves do not.

C) All waves travel at the same speed through any medium.

D) Mechanical waves require a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Answer:

Statement D is true.

Mechanical waves require a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Explanation:

The two types of waves are;

Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves require a medium, such as an atmosphere or water, to enable it transport its energy. For example sound waves occur when you clap and thereby distort the air around.

Whereas, Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to enable it transport its energy. A good example would be light. Normally, Electromagnetic waves are usually formed when the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.

So electromagnetic waves can transmit without a medium because electric and magnetic fields can exist independently without a medium.

"What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0"
Artyom0805 [142]

Q: What is the change of entropy for 3.0 kg of water when the 3.0 kg of water is changed to ice at 0 °C? (Lf = 3.34 x 105 J/kg)

Answer:

-3670.33 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a substance. The S.I unit of Entropy is J/K.

Mathematically,  change of Entropy can be expressed as,

ΔS = ΔH/T ....................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = Change of entropy, ΔH = heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = -(Lf×m).................................... Equation 2

Note: ΔH is negative because heat is lost.

Where Lf = latent heat of ice = 3.34×10⁵ J/kg, m = 3.0 kg, m = mass of water = 3.0 kg

Substitute into equation

ΔH = -(3.34×10⁵×3.0)

ΔH = - 1002000 J.

But T = 0 °C = (0+273) K = 273 K.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = -1002000/273

ΔS = -3670.33 J/K

Note: The negative value of ΔS shows that the entropy of water decreases when it is changed to ice at 0 °C

0.023 M solution of perchloric acid
kogti [31]
The original question is to find the pH and the pOH of 0.023 M of perchloric acid.

Answer:
pH = 1.638
pOH = 12.362

Explanation:
1- getting the pH:
pH can be calculated using the following rule:
pH = -log[H+]
Since the given solution is an acid, this means that [H+] is the same as the concentration of the solution.
This means that:
[H+] = 0.023
Substitute in the above equation to get the pH as follows:
pH = -log[0.023]
pH = 1.638

2- getting the pOH:
We know that:
pH + pOH = 14
We have calculated that pH = 1.638.
Substitute in the above equation to get the pOH as follows:
pOH + 1.638 = 14
pOH = 14 - 1.638
pOH = 12.362

Hope this helps :)

The percent of remaining parent isotope in a radioactive decay process is 40 percent. How many half-lives have elapsed since the
muminat

Answer: Between 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}        ............(1)

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives  = 40

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant  = 100

n = number of half lives

Putting in the values we get:

40=\frac{100}{2^n}  

2^n=2.5

taking log on both sides

nlog(2)=log(2.5)

n=1.32

Thus half-lives that have elapsed is between 1 and 2

double-displacement reaction

Explanation:

We have the chemical reaction:

Na₂S (aq) + Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) → CdS (s) + 2 NaNO₃ (aq)

where:

(aq) - aqueous

(s) - solid

This is a double-displacement reaction because the reactants exchange atoms or group of atoms between themselves to form the products. To drive the reaction to the right, one of the products is a precipitate.

Generally we can express the double-displacement reaction as following:

AB + CD → AC + BD
