The number of waves that pass a point in one second is called ________________________________

1 answer:

3 0

The characteristics of a wave are given certain names to describe them, and this helps scientists to accurately describe any given wave. The characteristic known as frequency describes the number of waves that pass a point, and it is measured in waves per second, or Hertz, which is given the symbol Hz, but can also be described using the inverse of the SI unit for second, s^-1.

Which of the following acids is the weakest? The acid is followed by its ka value. A) HC2H302, 1.8 * 10-5 B) HIO, 23 x 10-11 OC)

NemiM [27]

Answer:

the weakest acid is B) HIO

Explanation:

pKa = - log Ka

the higher the value of pKa, the lower the dissociation, therefore, an acid will be stronger the lower its pKa.

a) HC2H3O2; Ka = 1.8 E-5

⇒ pKa1 = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745

b) HIO; Ka = 23 E-11

⇒ pKa2 = - Log ( 23 E-11 ) = 9.638

c) HBrO; Ka = 23 E-9

⇒ pKa3 = - Log ( 23 E-9 ) = 7.638

d) HClO; Ka = 2.9 E-8

⇒ pKa4 = - Log ( 2.9 E-8 ) = 7.537

e) HCO2H; Ka = 63 E-5

⇒ pKa5 = - Log ( 63 E-5 ) = 3.200

from the values pKa, we places the acids from the weakest to the least weak:

1) pKa2; HIO (weakest)

2) pKa3

3) pKa4

4) pKa1

5) pKa5

What is the name of the compound in cabbage juice that causes the color to change in an acid or base?

baherus [9]

Red cabbage contains a water-soluble pigment called anthocyanin that changes color when it is mixed with an acid or a base. The pigment turns red in acidic environments with a pH less than 7 and the pigment turns bluish-green in alkaline (basic) environments with a pH greater than 7.

Which principle goes against Bohr's theory and why??

Basile [38]

Answer:

As the Bohr's fixed orbit gives precise information about the radial position and momentum of the orbit, it is against the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Thus it is inferred that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle goes and the concept Bohr's fixed Orbit are opposite to each other.

Calculate the percentage composition of Mg3 (Po4)2

lutik1710 [3]

Mg3(PO4)2 - the molar mass would be 262g/mol, which is 100%

Atomic mass of Mg is 24, since we have 3Mg we multiply by 3 and get a mass of 72

262 : 100% = 72 : x%

x = 72*100 / 262

x = 27.5%

And do that for every element — get the molar mass of P and multiply by 2, use a ratio, and get the molar mass of O and multiply by 8 and use ratios :)

Complete combustion of a sample of a hydrocarbon on excess oxygen produces equimolar quantities of carbon dioxide and water. Whi

Bond [772]

C. C4H8 Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct. A. C2H2 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. B. C2H6 This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. C. C4H8 This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer. D. C6H6 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.
