Answer : When we increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

Explanation :

Le-Chatelier's principle : This principle states that if any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

As the given reaction is an exothermic reaction in which the heat is released during a chemical reaction. That means the temperature is decreased on the reactant side.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

$A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}$

If the temperature is increases in the equilibrium then the equilibrium will shift in the direction where, temperature is getting decreased. Thus, the reaction will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

Hence, when we increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1

asambeis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of monochromatic light, $f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Separation between slits, $d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m$

(a) The condition for maxima is given by :

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

For third maxima,

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{nc}{fd})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m})$

$\theta=4.69^{\circ}$

(b) For second dark fringe, n = 2

$d\ sin\theta=(n+1/2)\lambda$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\lambda}{2d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5c}{2df})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{14}})$

$\theta=3.90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

An astronaut, of total mass 86.0 kg including her suit, stands on a spherical satellite of mass 360 kg, both at rest relative a

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula of the conservation of momentum.

m1 v1 = m2 v2 (because the system is stationary at the beginning)

Where:

m1 = mass of the astronaut

v1= velocity of the astronaut

m2= mass of the satellite

v2= velocity of the satellite

Replacing with the values given and solving:

86 kg (2.35m/s) = 360 kg v2

202.1 kgm/s=360kg v2

202.1kgm/s /360kg =v2

v2 = 0.56 m/s

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
