Answer:

The amplitude of a transverse wave is the difference between the height of crest which is the maximum point and the resting position the minimum point of one curve of a wave.

Please look at the attachment to see the figure to make the answer more clear.

Transverse waves are those that moves in the direction along x-axis

To determine the amplitude of a transverse wave, measure the highest amount of disturbance from the equilibrium that the wave experiences.

A 2.50 g sample of solid sodium hydroxide is added to 55.0 mL of 25 °C water in a foam cup (insulated from the environment) and

zlopas [31]

Answer:

37.1°C.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the amount of heat (Q) released through this reaction:

∵ ΔHsoln = Q/n

no. of moles (n) of NaOH = mass/molar mass = (2.5 g)/(40 g/mol) = 0.0625 mol.

The negative sign of ΔHsoln indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

∴ Q = (n)(ΔHsoln) = (0.0625 mol)(44.51 kJ/mol) = 2.78 kJ.

We can use the relation:

Q = m.c.ΔT,

where, Q is the amount of heat released to water (Q = 2781.87 J).

m is the mass of water (m = 55.0 g, suppose density of water = 1.0 g/mL).

c is the specific heat capacity of water (c = 4.18 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = final temperature - 25°C).

∴ (2781.87 J) = (55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C)(final temperature - 25°C)

∴ (final temperature - 25°C) = (2781.87 J)/(55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C) = 12.1.

∴ final temperature = 25°C + 12.1 = 37.1°C.

Consider a voltaic cell where the anode half-reaction is Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2 e− and the cathode half-reaction is Sn2+(aq) + 2 e

notsponge [240]

Answer: The concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ in the cell is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$ $E^o_{Zn^{2+}/Zn}=-0.76V$

Reduction half reaction: $Sn^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)$ $E^o_{Sn^{2+}/Sn}=-0.136V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Here, tin will undergo reduction reaction and will get reduced.

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=-0.136-(-0.76)=0.624V$

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Mn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

$E_{cell}$ = electrode potential of the cell = 0.660 V

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = +0.624 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 2

$[Zn^{2+}]=2.5\times 10^{-3}M$

$[Sn^{2+}]$ = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.660=0.624-\frac{0.059}{2}\times \log(\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}}{[Sn^{2+}})$

$[Sn^{2+}]=9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the concentration of $Sn^{2+}$ ions is $9.0\times 10^{-3}M$

In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.

diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

Dr. I. M. A. Brightguy adds 0.1727 g of an unknown gas to a 125-mL flask. If Dr. B finds the pressure to be 736 torr at 20.0°C,

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The gas that Dr. Brightguy added was O₂

Explanation:

Ideal Gases Law to solve this:

P . V = n . R . T

Firstly, let's convert 736 Torr in atm

736 Torr is atmospheric pressure = 1 atm

20°C = 273 + 20 = 293 T°K

125 mL = 0.125L

0.125 L . 1 atm = n . 0.082 L.atm / mol.K . 293K

(0.125L .1atm) / (0.082 mol.K /L.atm . 293K) = n

5.20x10⁻³ mol = n

mass / mol = molar mass

0.1727 g / 5.20x10⁻³ mol = 33.2 g/m

This molar mass corresponds nearly to O₂
