As a form of energy, light has specific properties such as color and brightness. Some properties can only be seen with special t

ools. Think about properties of light and how color in white light can be investigated.
Which statements are true about light properties and how color in white light can be investigated?
A. White light can be separated using any glass object.

B.Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. When white light is separated by a prism, the colors appear in a random order.

C.The way light reacts when it strikes an object depends on the properties of that object. When a single-colored light passes through a prism, it becomes white.

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

Answer:

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

Explanation:

When light enters a prism, it experiences a phenomenon called 'refraction'.

Refraction occurs when light crosses the interface between two mediums with different optical density; when this happens, the light bends and also changes speed.

The angle at which the ray of light is refracted into the second medium depends on the optical density of the two mediums, but also on the wavelength of the light.

In particular, longer wavelengths (red color) are refracted the least, while shorter wavelengths (violet color) are refracted the most.

As a result, when white light (consisting of all the colors of visible light) enters into a prism, they different wavelengths are separated: therefore, white light separates into different colors.

So, the correct answer is

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

The combustion of palmitic acid is represented by the chemical equation: C16H32O2(s) + 23O2(g) → 16 CO2(g) + 16 H2O(l) The magni
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The reaction is

C_{16}H_{32}O_2(g) + 23O_2(g) \to 16 CO_2(g) + 16 H_2O(l)

Generally \Delta  H  =  \Delta  U + \Delta N*  RT

Here \Delta  H is the change in enthalpy

\Delta  U is the change in the internal energy

              \Delta N  is the difference between that number of moles of product and the number of moles of reactant

Looking at the reaction we can discover that the elements that was consumed and the element that was formed is O_2 and  CO_2 and this are both gases so the change would occur in the number of moles

So  

\Delta  H  =  \Delta  U + [16 -23]*  RT

\Delta  H  =  \Delta  U -7RT

The  negative sign in the equation tell us that the enthalpy\Delta_r H would be less than the Internal energy \Delta_r U

White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since it first order, we use order rate equation

In ( \frac{A1}{A0}) = -kt where A1 is the final quality = 0.8 (80%), A0 is the initial quality = 1 ( 100%)

also, t half life = \frac{In2}{k} where k is rate constant

k = \frac{In 2}{45 days} = 0.0154

In ( \frac{0.8}{1}) = - 0.0154 t

-0.223 / -0.0154 = t

t = 14.49 approx 14.5 days from the date the yogurt was packaged

The organic compound di‑n‑butyl phthalate, C 16 H 22 O 4 ( l ) , C16H22O4(l), is sometimes used as a low‑density ( 1.046 g ⋅ mL
damaskus [11]

Answer:

36.63 Torr

Explanation:

You need to use two expressions, one for pressure and the other with the relation of density and height of the column.

For the pressure:

P = h * d * g  (1)

h is height.

d density

g gravity

The second expression put a relation between the densities and height of the column so:

d1/d2 = h1/h2 (2)

let 1 be the phthalate, and 2 the mercury.

Let's calculate first the relation of density:

d1/d2 = 13.53 / 1.046 = 12.93

Now with the first expression, we can calculate the pressure so:

P = hdg

We have two compounds so,

h1d1g = h2d2g ---> gravity cancels out

From here, we can solve for h2:

h2 = h1*(d1/d2)

replacing:

h2 = 459 / 12.53

h2 = 36.63 mm

1 mmHg is 1 torr, therefore the pressure of the gas in Torr would be 36.63 Torr
