Answer:

Like any wave, a sound wave doesn't just stop when it reaches the end of the medium or when it encounters an obstacle in its path. Rather, a sound wave will undergo certain behaviors when it encounters the end of the medium or an obstacle. Possible behaviors include reflection off the obstacle, diffraction around the obstacle, and transmission (accompanied by refraction) into the obstacle or new medium

Answer:When sound waves move from one medium to another, there will be changes to the velocity (or speed), frequency and wavelength of the sound wave. This change in velocity can also result in a change of direction of the sound wave - also known as refraction

Sophie [7]

You would know that the variable is quantitative if it shows any number to express the quantity. For example, quantitative variables are 50°C, 5 atm, 2 moles, 100 L and so on. A variable is qualitative if it expresses a relative quantity but not expressing a number. Examples would be: few, too hot, several, or even describing the characteristics of a variable. Hence, when the variable is in grams, then that would be quantitative.

Consider the following system at equilibrium:A(aq)+B(aq) <---> 2C(aq)Classify each of the following actions by whether it

velikii [3]

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

On addition of reactant at equilibrium shifts the equilibrium in forward direction.
On addition of product at equilibrium shifts the equilibrium in backward direction.
On removal of reactant at equilibrium shifts the equilibrium in backward direction.
On removal of product at equilibrium shifts the equilibrium in forward direction.

$A(aq)+B(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2C(aq)$

Reactants = A , B

Product = C

1. Increase A

On increasing the amount of A at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in forward or rightward direction.

2. Increase B

On increasing the amount of B at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in forward or rightward direction.

3. Increase C

On increasing the amount of C at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in backward or leftward direction.

4. Decease A

On decreasing the amount of A at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in backward or leftward direction.

5. Decease B

On decreasing the amount of B at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in backward or leftward direction.

6. Decease C

On decreasing the amount of C at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium in forward or rightward direction.

7. Double A and Halve B

Equilibrium constant of the reaction = K

$K=\frac{[C]^2}{[A][B]}$

On doubling A and halving B, equilibrium constant of the reaction = K'

$K'=\frac{[C]^2}{[2A][\frac{B}{2}]}=\frac{[C]^2}{[A][B]}$

The value of equilibrium constant K' is equal to K, which means that equilibrium will not shift in any direction.

8. Double both B and C

Equilibrium constant of the reaction = K

$K=\frac{[C]^2}{[A][B]}$

On doubling B and C, equilibrium constant of the reaction = K'

$K'=\frac{[2C]^2}{[A][2B]}=\frac{4[C]^2}{[A][2B]}=\frac{2[C]^2}{[A][B]}$

K' = 2 K

The value of equilibrium constant K' is double the K, which means that product is increasing which means that equilibrium will shift in backward or leftward direction.

Explain how different observations and experiments led to changes in the atomic model.

Bingel [31]

> Explain how different observations and experiments led to changes in the atomic model.

The atomic model has progressed over time. As scientists have learned more about the atoms, the atomic model has changed.

Democritus: first proposed that matter cannot be divided into smaller pieces

Dalton: created the 1st atomic theory. He viewed atoms as tiny solid balls

JJ Thomson: discovered electrons, he showed that atoms are made of even smaller things

Rutherford: discovered protons and nucleus, he showed that atoms have positive particles in the center and that atoms are made up mostly of empty space

Bohr: improved Rutherford’s model by proposing that electrons move around the nucleus in layers or shells

Chadwick: discovered neutrons = particles with no charge

The modern model of the atom is made up of works collaborated since 1920 which has electrons moving around the nucleus in a cloud.

> Explain how line spectra are used to identify elements and what they indicate about atoms.

Actually each element has its own unique spectra, hence this property can be used to identify the element. The line spectra give us an indication about the energy levels of the electrons, and each wavelength produces different colors.

> Represent electron arrangements using electron configuration, orbital notation, shorthand notation, and Lewis dot notation.

To answer your question, I will illustrate an example. The s orbital can accommodate 2 electrons, p orbital can accommodate 6, d orbital can accommodate 10, f orbital can accommodate 14. To take as example, Mg contains 12 electrons using the Aufbau principle, the electron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 the numbers after the letter represent the amount of electrons, the letters (s, p) represent the sublevel of the electron, while the number before the letter represent the principal quantum number, or "level".

Apply the rules and limitations of each quantum number to identify possible and impossible quantum number sets.

>There are four quantum numbers.

1. Principal quantum number (n) can take values of any positive whole numbers

2. Angular momentum quantum number (l) is from 0 to n – 1

3. Magnetic quantum number (ml) is from –l to +l

4. Spin quantum number (ms) only takes two values, positive spin and negative spin: +1/2, -1/2

From these rules you can identify possible and impossible set of quantum numbers.
