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

Chemistry

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.

A particular 3.0 L solution contains 2.5 mmol (millimoles) of a substance. What is the concentration of this solution in number
bearhunter [10]

Answer: 0.83mol/m3

Explanation:

Number of mole = 2.5 mmol = 0.0025mol

Recall

1L = 0.001m3

Therefore 3L = 3x0.001 = 0.003m3

0.003m3 contains 0.0025mol

Therefore, 1m3 will contain = 0.0025/0.003 = 0.83mol

The concentration in mol/m3 is 0.83mol/m3

PLEASE ANSWER, I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND THANKS!
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Mass  = 8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of MgO formed  = 20 g

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂     →    2MgO

Number of moles of MgO:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

Now we will compare the moles of MgO and O₂ from balance chemical equation:

                     MgO         :            O₂

                        2            :            1

                      0.5          :        1/2×0.5 = 0.25 mol

Mass of oxygen required:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of O₂  is 32 g/mol

Mass = 0.25 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 8 g

Arrange the following elements in order of increasing (from smallest to largest) atomic size: H, Br, Cl, O. Explain the reasonin
juin [17]

Explanation:

Atomic size is defined as the distance between the nucleus and valence shell of an atom. Valence shell is the outermost shell of an atom.

When we move across a period in a periodic table then there will occur a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. But when we move across a group in a periodic table then there will occur an increase in atomic size of the atom.

Hydrogen is a period 1 element, oxygen is a period 2 element, chlorine is a period 3 element and bromine is a period 4 element.

Therefore, given elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic size as follows.

                             H < O < Cl < Br

Calculate the molar mass of adrenaline (C9H13NO3C9H13NO3), a hormone responsible for regulating heart rate and other functions o
Talja [164]

Answer:

M_{C_9H_{13}NO_3}=183.23g/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molar mass of a chemical compound is computed by averaging the atomic mass of each element in the molecule and the amount of atoms; which in this case there are 9 carbon atoms, 13 hydrogen atoms, 1 nitrogen atom and 3 oxygen atoms; thus, we compute the average as shown below:

M_{C_9H_{13}NO_3}=m_C*9+m_H*13+m_N+m_O*3

Now, we plug in the atomic masses to obtain:

M_{C_9H_{13}NO_3}=12.01*9+1.01*13+14.01+16.00*3\\\\M_{C_9H_{13}NO_3}=183.23g/mol

Best regards!
