Earthquakes have two kinds of waves, P waves and S waves. These waves may someday help scientist develop an early warning system for earthquakes. The P wave (also known as the primary wave) is the first wave, and the S wave (secondary wave) travels after it. Scientists can find the location of an earthquakes epicenter by subtracting the time that elapses between the P and S waves. A convenient way to find the epicenter is to use a graph like the one shown here. Suppose that scientists record a P wave on a seismic device at 10 minutes. An s wave reaches the device at 15 minutes (5 minutes later). What is the distance between the recording device and the epicenter of the earthquake? Use the graph to determine your answer.

42

Explanation:

Multiply the difference by 8.4 to estimate the distance. ( kilometers )

P wave = 10

S wave = 15

Difference = 5

8.4 * 5 = 42

We can see that at 2000 miles, the waves are exactly 5 minuets apart.

Explanation:

To measure the distance between the two recorded waves, we find that the waves (Primary and Secondary) were recorded 5 minuets apart. We see that when the recorded lines are 5 minutes apart, it aligns with a distance of 2,000 miles.

explanation:

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
