Answer:

0.043°

Explanation:

Snell's law States that the ratio of the angle of incidence to angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

n = sin(i)/sin(r)

n1/n2 = sin(i)/sin(r)

For the green polystyrene

n2 = refractive index of green polystyrene = 1.493

n1 = refractive index of air = 1

1/1.493= sin30°/sin(r1)

sin(r1) = sin30°×1.493

sin(r1) = 0.5×1.493

sin(r1) = 0.7465

r1 = sin^-1(0.7465)

r1 = 48.288°

For the yellow polystyrene

n2 = refractive index of yellow polystyrene = 1.492

n1 = refractive index of air = 1

1.492/1= sin30°/sin(r2)

sin(r2) = sin30°×1.492

sin(r2) = 0.5×1.492

sin(r2) = 0.746

r2 = sin^-1(0.746)

r2 = 48.245°

The angle between the colors when they emerge = r1-r2

angle between the colors when they emerge = 48.288°-48.245°

angle between the colors when they emerge = 0.043°

How much heat is required to convert 5.53 g of ice at -12.0 ∘C to water at 24.0 ∘C? (The heat capacity of ice is 2.09 J/(g⋅∘C),
fredd [130]

Answer:

2.55 × 10³ J =2.55 kJ

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of ice =  37.8 J / mol °C

Specific heat capacity of water = 76.0 J/ mol °C

Ice at -12 °C is converted to ice at 0 °C by absorbing heat Q₁

Ice at 0°C melts to water at 0 °C. Let Heat  absorbed during this phase change be Q₂ .

Let heat  absorbed to raise the temperature of water from 0 C to 24°C be Q₃ .

Total heat = Q = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

Q₁ = (37.8 j/mol C )(5.53 g /18.01532 g/ mol )( 0-(-12)) = 139.23749 j

Q₂ =(5.53 g/18.01532 g H₂O / mol ) (6.02 x10³ j) = 1847.905 j

Q₃ = (76 j/mol C) ( (5.53 g/18.01532 g H₂O / mol )(24-0) = 559.8968 j

Total Heat required = Q = 139.23749 j + 1847.905 j + 559.8968 j

= 2547.039 j = 2.55 × 10³ J =2.55 kJ

8. How is the crystal size different for extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks?
eduard
<span>Igneous rocks which form by the crystallization of magma at a depth within the Earth are called intrusive rocks. Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal sizes, i.e., their visual appearance shows individual crystals interlocked together to form the rock mass.  hope that helped</span>
