Answer:

θ = 28.9°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 602nm = 602 x 10^(-9) m

Lines per centimetre = 7000 /cm = 700000 /m

Thus, the distance between 2 adjacent lines is;

d = 1/700000 = 1.43 x 10^(-6) m

The angle at which diffracted light is formed is given by the formula

mλ = d sinθ

Where;

m is the mth order of the diffraction

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

d is the distance separating the centres of 2 adjacent slits

θ is the angle at which diffraction occurs

From the question, m is 1 because it says first order.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values into mλ = d sinθ, we have;

1 x 602 x 10^(-9) = 1.43 x 10^(-6) sinθ

sinθ = 602 x 10^(-9)/(1.43 x 10^(-6))

sinθ = 0.42098

θ = sin^(-1) 0.42098

θ = 28.9°

In a chemical reaction, the total charge of the reactants must be
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the same with that of products

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the total charge of the reactants must be the same with that of products.

Charges must be conserved or balanced in chemical reactions.

  • In both acidic and basic/neutral medium electrons are used to balance the charge.
  • The appropriate number of electrons is added to the side with a larger charge.
  • One electron is used to balance each positive charge.
  • This ensures that the sum of charges on both sides the same.
