What happens to a white light passes through a prism?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]3 years ago

When white light passes through a prism, the colour spectrum appears otherwise known as wavelengths. This is caused by the shape of the prism, due to the shape of the prism this bends the light and as a result the white light separates into wavelengths therefore showing colours depending on angle of light.

Answer:

CH₄ + 2O₂ –> CO₂ + 2H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 2, 1, 2

Explanation:

CH₄ + O₂ –> CO₂ + H₂O

The above equation can be balance by as follow:

CH₄ + O₂ –> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂O as shown below:

CH₄ + O₂ –> CO₂ + 2H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 4 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before O₂ as shown below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ –> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Now, the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 1, 2, 1, 2

1, When temperature is increased the volume will also increase. this is because the particles will gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas at a higher frequency, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to increase so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.

2. When temperature is Decreased the volume will also Decrease. this is because the particles will loose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container of the gas less frequently, therefore, for the pressure to remain constant as per Charles' law, the volume will have to reduce so that the rate of bombardment remains constant. This is explained by the Charles law which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature provided pressure remains constant.

3. When temperature is increased the pressure will increase. This is because the gas particles gain kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container more frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature

4. When temperature is decreased, pressure will decrease, This is because the gas particles lose kinetic energy and bombard the walls of the container less frequently. this is according to Pressure law which states that for a constant volume of a gas the pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature

5. When particles are added, pressure will increase. This is because the bombardment per unit area also increases. Boyles law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.

6. When particles are removed, the pressure will decrease. This is because the bombardment per unit area also decreases. Boyle's law explains this, that at fixed temperature the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
