(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.

Suppose 2.8 moles of methane are allowed to react with 5 moles of oxygen.
Ronch [10]

Answer : The limiting reagent is O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of methane = 2.8 moles

Moles of O_2 = 5 moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of O_2 react with 1 mole of CH_4

So, 5 moles of O_2 react with \frac{5}{2}=2.5 moles of CH_4

From this we conclude that, CH_4 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the limiting reagent is O_2

1. EXPLAIN the steps required to find the molar mass of NH3 . Also,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: Molar mass of NH_3 is 17.03 g

Explanation:

Molar mass is defined as the mass in grams of 1 mole of a substance.

S.I Unit of Molar mass is gram per mole and it is represented as g/mol.

It is found by adding the atomic masses of all the elements present.

Atomic Mass of Nitrogen (N) = 14.007 g

Atomic Mass of Hydrogen (H) = 1.008 g

Molar mass of NH_3 = 1(14.007)+3(1.008) g = 17.03 g

How mant grams are there in 7.15 x 10^24 molecules of water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

B. 214.02

Explanation:

1 mol of water weighs 18.015 gm and contains 6.023 × 10²³ molecules

From question, We have 7.15 × 10²⁴ molecules

Dividing we get (7.15 × 10 ²⁴) ÷ ( 6.023 × 10²³) = 11.871 molecules

Now, Weight of water = 11.871 × 18.015 = 213.85 which is nearer to option B
