(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.

Which one of the following metals would NOT displace hydrogen from a dilute solution of HCl? 1. Ag 2. Fe 3. Al 4. Ni
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Ag

Explanation:

To determine which element will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to make reference to the activity series or the electrochemical series. The activity series is a list of metallic ions according to their electropositivity.

This means elements are ranked here based on how electrically positive they are. Hence, an element above another element is relatively more electropositive than the one under it. For example calcium is less electropositive compared to sodium as calcium is found under sodium in the list.

Now, for an element to displace hydrogen, it means the particular element is more electropositive than hydrogen on the activity series. All the elements in the options are in a greater position relative to hydrogen on the activity series except silver. This means it cannot displace hydrogen from a dilute mineral acid

How much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of 59.7g of cadmium from 25°C to 100°C? The specific heat of cadmium is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Heat energy can be calculated by using the specific heat of a substance multiplying it to the mass of the sample and the change in temperature. It is expressed as: 

<span>Energy = mCΔT
</span><span>Energy = 59.7 (0.231) (100-25)
</span><span>Energy = 1034.30 J</span>

GarryVolchara [31]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Welding is an industrial process that is used to join pieces of metal. A certain mixture of gases used in welding is composed of carbon dioxide and argon. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 0.080 atm and the partial pressure of argon is 0.24 atm. What is the total pressure of the mixture.

Answer:  0.32 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

p_{total}=p_{CO_2}+p_{Ar}

Given : p_{total} =total pressure of gases = ?

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.080 atm

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon = 0.24 atm    

putting in the values we get:

p_{total}=0.080atm+0.24atm  

p_{total}=0.32atm

Thus the total pressure of the gases is 0.32 atm
