Why is sound able to travel faster through a solid than a gas?

Chemistry
2 answers:
noname [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations (energy) faster.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

             70.15 cm³

Solution:

Data Given;

                  Mass  =  55 g

                  Density  =  0.784 g.cm⁻³

Required:

                  Volume  =  ?

Formula Used:

                  Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Volume,

                  Volume  =  Mass ÷ Density

Putting values,

                  Volume  =  55 g ÷ 0.784 g.cm⁻³

                  Volume = 70.15 cm³

When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

- Empirical:

C_3H_7

- Molecular:

C_6H_{14}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

C_3H_7

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

C_6H_{14}

Which is hexane.

Best regards.

Describe how you could use two LB/agar plates, some E. coli, and some ampicillin to determine how E. coli cells are affected by
KiRa [710]

Answer:

For this experiment we are going to take plate 1 as the control plate, so, in it there will be just E. coli in LB/agar; in plate 2, we are going to put E. coli in LB/agar and some ampicillin.  Then, we have to wait for the E. coli colonies to form. After a while, the E. coli growth can be compared on both plates and determine if ampicillin affects or not the E. coli colonies.

Explanation:

If the ampicillin affects negatively E. coli colonies, we are going to observe that in plate 1 (control plate) there are E. coli colonies growing, but in plate 2, there is no E. coli colonies or, at least, there is a fewer number of colonies on it. If ampicillin doesn't affect E.coli, plate 1 (control) and plate 2 (ampicillin experiment) are going to be similar in number of colonies.
