Refractometry is an analytical method based on the difference between the speed of light as it travels through a substance (v) a

nd its speed in a vacuum (c). In the procedure, light of known wavelength passes through a fixed thickness of the substance at a known temperature. The index of refraction equals c/v. Using yellow light (λ = 589 nm) at 20°C, for example, the index of refraction of water is 1.33 and that of diamond is 2.42. Calculate the speed of light in (a) water and (b) diamond.

Answer:

a). 2.25 \times 10^{8} m/s

b).  1.23 m/s                                

Explanation:

Given :

Index of refraction for water, n_{w} = 1.33

Index of refraction of diamond, n_{d} = 2.42

We know that,

Refractive index of any material is given by,

n = \frac{c}{v}

where c = sped of light in air

            v = speed of light in any medium

a). Speed of light in water

   v = \frac{c}{n_{w}}

   v = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.33}

   v = 2.25\times 10^{8} m/s

b). Speed of light in diamond

    v =\frac{c}{n_{d}}

   v =\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{2.42}

      = 1.23 m/s

Consider the balanced equation.
Zolol [24]

 <span>The balanced reaction that describes the reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen to produce ammonia is expressed 3H2 + N2 = 2NH3. The yield of the reaction is equal to the actual amount of product divided to the theoretical amount of product multiplied by 100 percent. 26.3 grams of H2 theoretically produces149 grams. The yield is 79 divided by 149 equal to 53.02 percent. </span>

Both of the sulfur-chlorine single bonds in scl2 are polar. in which direction should the polarity arrows point? both of the sul
Volgvan
The polarity arrow should point AWAY FROM THE CENTRAL SULPHUR ATOM.
Arrows are used for different purposes in chemistry. Polarity arrow is used to indicate the position of polar bonds in organic molecules.  Polarity refers to the separation of the electric charges in a substance, so that the substance is partially positive and at the same time it is partially negative.
