The speed of light in diamond is 1.24\cdot 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is equal to the ratio between the speed of light in vacuum and the speed of light in the material:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

n is the index of refraction

c is the speed of light in vacuum

v is the speed of light in the material

In this problem, we have:

n = 2.42 is the refractive index of diamond

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

Solving for v, we find the speed of light in diamond:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{2.42}=1.24\cdot 10^8 m/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP Which one of the following is a step used for balancing chemical equations?
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

C. Count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

In order for a chemical equation to be balanced, the condition which must be met is that the number of atoms in the reactants equals the number of atoms in the products.

This ultimately implies that, the mass and charge of the chemical equation are both balanced properly.

In Chemistry, all chemical equation must follow or be in accordance with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed by either a physical transformation or a chemical reaction but transformed from one form to another in an isolated (closed) system.

One of the step used for balancing chemical equations is to count the atoms in each substance in the reactants and products.

For example;

NH3 + O2 -----> NO + H2O

The number of atoms in each chemical element are;

For the reactant side:

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 3

Oxygen, O = 2

For the product side;

Nitrogen, N = 1

Hydrogen, H = 2

Oxygen, O = 2

When we balance the chemical equation, we would have;

NH3 + 3O2 -----> 4NO + 2H2O

What factors does not influence the rate of chemical weathering?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Exposure to the Atmosphere

Composition of Rock

Surface area of the rock

Climate

Time

Explanation:

Exposure to the Atmosphere - how much of the rock mass is exposed to the environment affects how quickly the rock will be weathered by that very environment

Composition of Rock - what kind of minerals the rock is made of, how easy it is for those minerals to disintegrate and how quickly the react with water and air.

Surface area of the rock - a rick that has a wider surface or smaller pieces is more exposed than one that is a lump. A larger surface area increases the rate of weathering

Climate - if a rock is an area where there are high temperatures or very low temperatures, the rate of weathering is likely to increase. A similar point can be made about a region that experiences a lot of rain.

Time - the longer the rock is exposed to harsh conditions, the more it will experience weathering
