Answer:

8.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled = 500m

Time taken = 60s

Unknown:

Speed of the sound = ?

Solution:

The speed the sound can be derived using the expression below:

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

So;

Speed = $\frac{500}{60}$ = 8.33m/s

What are the uses of carbon-14?

Gelneren [198K]

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope used to date organic material. Its consistent rate of decay allows the age of an object to be determined by the proportion of carbon-14 to other carbon isotopes. This process is called radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is also used as a radioactive tracer for medical tests.

If you want to use a serial dilution to make a 1/50 dilution. The first dilution you make is a 1/5 dilution with a total volume

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.2 mL stock solution, 0.8 solvent, 0.1 mL first solution and 0.9 solvent

Explanation:

The final volume for fist solution is 1 mL and concentration must will be 1/5, then 1 mL/5=0.2 mL. For complete the 1 mL add the missing solvent volume 1 mL-0.2 mL=0.8 mL. For second solution, assuming final volume is 1 mL, and concentration 1/10, then we have 1 mL /10=0.1 mL solution 1/5. Completing volume, 1 mL-0.1 mL= 0.9 mL solvent.

The longer the bond, the smaller the bond enthalpy. the longer the bond, the smaller the bond enthalpy. false true

Temka [501]

True

As the shorter the bond, the stronger it is hence more energy will be required to overcome this bond

The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O and its molecular weight is 90.09 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound will be, $C_{3}H_{6}O_3$

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$
