Question

7. Organic vs. Inorganic Compounds (10 points total Given the compounds provided below, match each compound with the correct oxidation number and organic/inorganic characteristics listed in the table below. (10 points) Compound Type Oxidation Number -4 Organic or Inorganic? +1 +4 Compounds to write in above: C6H1206, c03-2, CH, CHOCHO, HC02- 8. Seismograph Data Analysis (6 points total) A seismograph detects the arrival of a P wave at 3:30 AM one morning followed by the arrival of an S wave at 3:33 AM. Assuming that the P wave travels at 8 km s and the S wave travels at 4 km s1, estimate how far away the epicenter of the earthquake is from your location

2. We have difference of time interval between wave p and wave s= 3 minutes= 180 seconds = 3/60 hours= 1/20 hours

we have speed of wave p, vP= 8 km/s

speed of wave s, vS= 4 km/s

substituting the values in to find the distance between epicenter the below equation

d = (tS-tP/(1/vS-1/vP)

d= ((180)/(1/4000-1/8000)
((180)/(1/8000))
14400.00 km

d=(
