The smallness of the critical angle θc for diamond means that light is easily "trapped" within a diamond and eventually emerges

from the many cut faces. This makes a diamond more brilliant than stones with smaller n and larger θc. Traveling inside a diamond, a light ray is incident on the interface between diamond and air. What is the critical angle for total internal reflection? The refraction index for diamond is 2.23 . Answer in uni

Answer:

26.6°

Explanation:

refractive index of diamond, n = 2.23

When a ray of light passes from denser medium to the rarer medium and refracts at an angle of 90 degree from the normal of the surface, such angle of incidence in the denser medium is called the critical angle.

By the Snell's law

\frac{Sini}{Sin r }= n

For critical angle, angle of incidence is critical angle, i = θc and angle of refraction, r = 90

So,

Sin θc / Sin 90 = 1 / 2.23

Sin θc = 0.448

θc = 26.6°

Thus, the critical angle is 26.6°.

The compound PCl5 decomposes into Cl2 and PCl3. The equilibrium of PCl5(g) Cl2(g) + PCl3(g) has a Keq of 2.24 x 10-2 at 327°C. W
nordsb [41]
Take note of the reaction formula which is PCl5=Cl2+PCl3.
The Keq = [Cl2] * [PCl3] / [PCl5]=2.24*10^-2.
For the reason that the volume is 1 liter, the concentration of Cl2 will be computed through: <span>(2.24 * 10^-2) * 0.235 / 0.174 </span> = 0.0303 mol/L is the answer.

What two factors determine the density of a fluid?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Mass and volume.

Explanation:

The equation for density is always mass divided by volume. To determine the density of a fluid, you would need to find its volume and its mass.
