If a wave has a wavelength of 13 meters and a period of 0.005, what's the velocity of the wave? A. 2,600 m/s B. 260 m/s C. 1,300
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

V = 2600ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength(λ) = 13meters

Period (T) = 0.005s

Period(T) is the time it takes for a full cycle of vibration to pass through. It's unit is in seconds (s)

The Velocity of waves is expressed as:

V = fλ

Where f = frequency(s⁻¹)

Frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit time

f = 1/T

Where T is the period

We can therefore express Velocity of waves as a function of period

V = λ/T

Inputing the parameters, we have:

V = 13m / 0.005s

V = 2600ms⁻¹

Which two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

C. Increasing the temperature

D. Reducing the pressure

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂0 + energy

Required

Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

Solution

The formation of H₂O is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)

If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)  

While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient  

in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2

As the temperature rises, the equilibrium will shift towards the endothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the left towards H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)

And reducing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the left H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater

Bombardment of cobalt-59 with a neutron produces a manganese-56 atom and another particle. What is this particle?A. an alpha par
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:A

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.

3. When aqueous solutions of sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) and chromium(III) chloride (CrCl3) react, chromium(III) phosphate forms a
nignag [31]

The four ionic species initially in solution are Na⁺, PO₄³⁻, Cr³⁺, and Cl⁻. Since the precipitate is composed of Cr³⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions, the spectator ions must be Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

The complete ionic equation is 3Na⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) + Cr₃⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq) → 3Na⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq) + CrPO₄(s).

So the balanced <u>net ionic equation</u> for this reaction would be Cr³⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → CrPO₄(s).
