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.

How many moles are in 55 g or NaCk
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ok, so I suppose you meant NaCl. But ok:

So we have the formula moles = grams/MM, where MM is molar mass. The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 g/mol. That means that 55/58.44 is the number of moles which appears to be 0.94 moles.

2. Assume that a sample of 10.00 g of a solid unknown is dissolved in 25.0 g of water. Assuming that pure water freezes at 0.0 o
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

m = 3 moles/kg

Explanation:

This is a problem of freezing point depression, and the formula or expression to use is the following:

ΔT = i*Kf¨*m (1)

Where:

ΔT: Change of temperature of the solution

i: Van't Hoff factor

m: molality of solution

Kf: molal freezing point depression of water (Kf = 1.86 °C kg/mol)

Now, the value of i is the number of moles of particles obtained when 1 mol of a solute dissolves. In this case, we do not know what kind of solution is, so, we can assume this is a non electrolyte solute, and the value of i = 1.

Let's calculate the value m, which is the molality solving for (1):

m =  ΔT/Kf (2)

Finally, let's calculate ΔT:

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 0 - (-5.58)

ΔT = 5.58 °C

Now, let's replace in (2):

m = 5.58/1.86

<em>m = 3 moles/kg</em>

<em>This is the molality of solution.</em>

<em>The other data of mass, can be used to calculate the molecular mass of this unknown solid, but it's not asked in the question.</em>
