Which statement best describes a mechanical wave?

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

Explanation:

While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

A gas mixture with 4 mol of Ar, x moles of Ne, and y moles

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

a) $\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

b) $x=4$

c) $\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol$

Explanation:

Gas mixture:

$n_{Ar}= 4 mol$

$n_{Ne}= x mol$

$n_{Xe}= y mol$

$n_{tot}= n_{Ar} + n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=3*n_{Ar}$

$n_{Ne} + n_{Xe}=2*n_{Ar}$

$x + y=8 mol$

$y=8 mol- x$

Mol fractions:

$x_{Ar}=\frac{4 mol}{12 mol}=1/3$

$x_{Ne}=\frac{x mol}{12 mol}=x/12$

$x_{Xe}=\frac{8 - x mol}{12 mol}=(8-x)/12$

Expression of $\Delta G_{mixing}$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*\sum_{i]*x_i*ln (x_i)$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=R*T*[1/3*ln (1/3) +x/12*ln (x/12) +(8-x)/12*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

$\Delta G_{mixing}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +x*ln (x/12) +(8-x)*ln ((8-x)/12)]$

Expression of $\Delta G_{max}$

$\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=0$

$\frac{d \Delta G_{mixing}}{dx}=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)+12-ln ((8-x)/12)-12]$

$0=\frac{R*T}{12}*[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)$

$0=[ln (x/12)-ln ((8-x)/12)$

$ln (x/12)=ln ((8-x)/12)$

$x=(8-x)$

$x=4$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (4/12) +(8-4)*ln ((8-4)/12)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[4*ln (1/3) +4*ln (1/3) +(4)*ln (1/3)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=\frac{8.314*298}{12}*[12*ln (1/3)]$

$\Delta G_{max}=-2721.9 J/mol$

Which statement describes global winds?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

They blow away from poles to the equator.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we must take into account that global wind systems are formed by the constant increase in the temperature of the Earth’s surface. Thus, they drive the oceans’ surface currents. In such a way, we can say wind is the basic movement of air from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, for that reason they blow away from the poles to the equator.

Best regards.
