Why might an earthquake have more than one intensity value

2 answers:

7 0

Often, several slightly different magnitudes are reported for an earthquake. This happens because the relation between the seismic measurements and the magnitude is complex and different procedures will often give slightly different magnitudes for the same earthquake.

Which of the following are characteristics of vertebrates?

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:
All of the above

Explanation:
Vertebrates are a class of creatures falling under kingdom "Animalia" that are characterized by the presence of an internal skeleton composed of bones.

Vertebrates are characterized by the following:
1- presence of internal skeleton
2- developed brain
3- the presence of an advanced nervous system connected to the brain
4- presence of muscles that allow movement
5- protective skin
6- circulation of blood in the bodies in the vessels

Comparing the mentioned characteristics with the options given, we will find that the most suitable answer is: "all of the above".

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following item(s) explain the differences between the Ka values. Choose one or more: A. The negative charge is on t

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

D. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms pull electron density from the oxygen in trifluoroacetate. The negative charge is more stabilized in trifluoroacetate by this effect.

Explanation:

The structures of trifluoroacetate and acetic acid are both shown in the image attached.

The trifluoroacetate anion (CF3CO2-), just like the acetate anion has in the middle, two oxygen atoms.

However, in the trifluoroacetate anion, there are also three electronegative fluorine atoms attached to the nearby carbon atom attached to the carbonyl, and these pull some electron density through the sigma bonding network away from the oxygen atoms, thereby spreading out the negative charge further. This effect, called the "inductive effect" stabilizes the anion formed,the trifouoroacetate anion is thus more stabilized than the acetate anion.

Hence, trifluoroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, having a pKa of -0.18.

n an experiment, 39.26 mL of 0.1062 M NaOH solution was required to titrate 37.54 mL of \ v unknown acetic acid solution to a ph

olasank [31]

Answer:

Molarity: 0.111M

% (w/w): 0.666

Explanation:

The reaction of NaOH with acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is:

NaOH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + H₂O

where 1 mole of NaOH reacts per mole of acetic acid producing 1 mole of water and 1 mole of sodium acetate.

As 39.26mL ≡ 0.03926L of 0.1062M are required to titrate the solution of acetic acid. Moles are:

0.03926L × (0.1062mol / L) = 4.169x10⁻³ moles of NaOH. As 1 mole of NaOH reacts per mole of acetic acid:

4.169x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH.

Molarity is defined as ratio between moles of substance and volume of solution in liters. Thus, molarity of acetic acid solution is:

4.169x10⁻³ moles of CH₃COOH / 0.03754L = 0.111M

As molar mass of acetic acid is 60g/mol, 4.169x10⁻³ moles weights:

4.169x10⁻³ moles × (60g / mol) = 0.2501 g of acetic acid

Now, assuming density of solution as 1.00g/mL, 37.54mL weights 37.54g.

Thus, percent by weight is:

0.2501g CH₃COOH / 37.54g × 100 = 0.666% (w/w)

Research shows that the combination of __________ and __________ can reduce the risk of death in a collision by up to 80%

r-ruslan [8.4K]

The combination of seatbelts and airbags can reduce the risk of death in a collision by up to 80%.

The seatbelts help to keep the person in one position and prevent impact with the vehicle as the vehicle comes to a sudden stop. Moreover, the airbag increases the time of collision to reduce the impact experienced by the person. An increased time of collision greatly reduces the damage that is done to the body.
