(a) The speed of light in the unknown substance is determined 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s.

(b) The light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

<h3>What is the speed of light?</h3>

The speed of light passing from air into the substance is calculated as follows;

refractive index = speed of light in air / speed of light in the substance

speed of light in the substance = speed of light in air/refractive index

speed of light in the substance = (3 x 10⁸) / (1.65)

speed of light in the substance = 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

How many grams of h2 are needed to produce 14.51 g of nh3?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

               2.57 g of H₂

Solution:

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                                          N₂  +  3 H₂    →    2 NH₃

According to Balance equation,

         34.06 g (2 moles) NH₃ is produced by  =  6.04 g (3 moles) of H₂

So,

               14.51 g of NH₃ will be produced by  =  X g of H₂

Solving for X,

                      X  =  (14.51 g × 6.04 g) ÷ 34.06 g

                     X =  2.57 g of H₂
