Different isotopes of the same element emit light at slightly different wavelengths. A wavelength in the emission spectrum of a
Inessa [10]

Different isotopes of the same element emit light at slightly different wavelengths, the minimum number of slits  is mathematically given as

N=1820slits

<h3>What minimum number of slits is required to resolve these two wavelengths in second-order?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the wave is mathematically given as

d\ sin\ (\theta\ m) \ = \ m\  \lambda

Where the chromatic resolving power (R) is defined by

R\  =\ \lambda\ / \ d \  \lambda

R = nN,

Therefore

\lambda_1 \ = \  (656.45)(1 \ * \ 10^{-9})/1mm

\lambda_1= 656.45*10^{-9}

and

\lambda_2= (656.27)(1*10^{-9})/1mm

\\\\\lambda_2= 656.27*10^{-9}m

In conclusion, the minimum number of slits is required to resolve these two wavelengths in second-order

N\ =\ \dfrac{\lambda}{m\ d\ T\ }\\\\

Therefore

N\ =\ \dfrac{656.45 \ * \ 10^{-9}}{2\ * \ (0.18*10^{-9})}

N=1820slits

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction 2MnO4-(aq) 10I-(aq) 16H (aq) ---&gt; 2Mn2 (aq) 5I2(aq) 8H2O(l)
faltersainse [42]

Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.

oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.

MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because

On the reactants side

Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7

Oxidation number of Cl- is -1

On the products side

Oxidation number of Mn is +2

While oxidation number of Cl is zero

Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
