The term defined as the change in direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium is refraction.

Refraction is the change of direction on the propagation of a beam of light when it passes from a medium to other; this only happens when the light travels at different speeds in both media.

When a beam of light that travels in the air incedes in a slab of glass, part of the beam is reflected (bounces) and part is refracted (it penetrates in the glass and changes the angle).


Also,due to the different speeds of light in air and water, when a beam of light passes from air to water, it refracts.

What is the symbol beryllium is most likely to form ? and what kind of ion is it ?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

The symbol of beryllium is Be. It is located in the second group on the periodic table.

Beryllium is a divalent cation with a charge of +2.

It is capable of losing 2 electrons in order to be like the noble gas He and this is a more stable configuration.

Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. The balanced chemical equation
Rufina [12.5K]

The mass formed in a chemical reaction is given by stoichiometry law in balanced chemical equation. The mass of silver produced in the reaction is 107. 9 g.

<h3>What is the stoichiometric law?</h3>

The stoichiometric law states that in a balanced chemical equation, the stoichiometric coefficient describes the moles of each compound in a chemical reaction.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

\rm Cu\;+\;2\;AgNO_3\;\rightarrow\;Cu(NO_3)_2\;+\;2\;Ag

From the balanced chemical equation, 1 moles of copper results in 2 moles of silver.

Moles in terms of mass can be given as:

\rm Moles=\dfrac{Mass}{Molar\;mass}

Thus, moles of 31. 75 grams copper is:

\rm Cu=\dfrac{ 31. 75 }{63.5}\;mol\\ Cu=0.5 mol

The moles of Ag produced can be given from stoichiometric law as:

\rm 1\;mol\;Cu=2\;mol\;Ag\\0.5 \;mol\;Cu=0.5\;\times\;2\;mol\;Ag\\0.5\;mol\;Cu=1\;mol\;Ag

The moles of Ag produced is 1 mol.

The mass of a mole of element is equivalent to the molar mass. Thus, the mass of Ag produced in the reaction is 107. 9 g. Hence, option B is correct.

What mass percent solution will result from dissolving 0.126 moles of AgNO3 in 475 g. of water
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 4.5 %

Explanation:

0.126 moles of AgNO3

mass percent = ?

mass of water = 475 g

Formula

               weight percent = weight of solute / weight of solution x 100

Weight of solute

 MW AgNO3 = 108 + 14 + (16 x 3)

                      = 108 + 14 + 48

                     = 170 g

                        170 g of AgNO3 -------------------  1 mol

                        x                         ---------------------  0.126 moles

                        x = (0.126 x 170) / 1  = 21.42 g of AgNO3

Weight percent = 21.42/475 x 100

                          = 4.5 %

Hich of the following is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
KiRa [710]

The oxidation-reduction reaction from the reactions above is

ZnS(s) + 2O2(g) ------ ZnSO4(s)

<h3>What is redox reactions?</h3>

Oxidation-reduction or redox reaction is the type of chemical reaction in which oxidation states of substrate changes

So therefore, the oxidation-reduction reaction from the reactions above is

ZnS(s) + 2O2(g) ------ ZnSO4(s)
