There is a thing called "wave action". In a submarine, you can feel wave action down to about 100 feet or so. Below 100 feet, the wave action is insignificant. The reason is buoyancy. As a wave passes over you, in effect the water gets deeper, there is more over your head, and alternately, as a trough passes over you, the water gets shallower. This alternating change in depth causes you to bob up and down like a cork. This all changes as the water gets shallower. A wave is really a moving pressure front. As the water gets shallower, the speed increases, which is why a wave "breaks" as it approaches a shore line but is invisible further away. The Tsunami in Japan that traveled across the Pacific was invisible until it reached the shallower water off the Pacific Coast where it did significant damage. What was a few INCHES in the middle of the Pacific became several FEET at the shoreline, all because the water went from very deep to very shallow. I was in submarines in the Navy for 21 years of service. Wave action is a very real thing and being at periscope depth in a hurricane is like a roller coaster as the boat gets thrown around.

A solution of hydrochloric acid of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.10 M NaOH. If a 100.-mL sample of the HCl solution

madam [21]

Answer: The initial pH of the HCl solution is 3

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=100mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.10M\\V_2=1mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 100=1\times 0.10\times 1\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.10\times 1}{1\times 100}=10M$

1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of $H^+$ ions and 1 mole of $Cl^-$ ions

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

$[H^+]=0.001M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=-\log (0.001)\\\\pH=3$

Hence, the initial pH of the HCl solution is 3

If 71.5 moles of an ideal gas is at 5.03 atm at 6.80 °C, what is the volume of the gas?

meriva

Use the clapeyron equation:

T in kelvin : 6.80 + 273 => 279.8 K

R = 0.082

n = 71.5 moles

P = 5.03 atm

Therefore:

P x V = n x R x T

5.03 x V = 71.5 x 0.082 x 279.8

5.03 x V = 1640.4674

V = 1640.4674 / 5.03

V = 326.13 L

hope ths helps!

28. Describe the molecular geometry and hybridization of the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds. (a) H3PO4, pho

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of an atom is connected to the number of electron pairs that surround it(whether lone pairs or bonding pairs) as well as its hybridization state. We shall now examine the N, P, or S atoms in each of the following compounds.

In H3PO4, P has a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.

b) In NH4NO3

N is sp3 hybridized in NH4^+ and sp2 hybridized in NO3^-. Also, N is tetrahedral in NH4^+ but trigonal planar in NO3^-.

c) In S2Cl2, we expect a tetrahedral geometry but as a result of the presence of two lone pairs on each sulphur atom, the molecular geometry is bent. The sulphur is sp3 hybridized.

d) In K4[O3POPO3], each phosphorus atom is in a tetrahedral molecular geometry and is sp3 hybridized.
