Answer:

from formula,

n = <u>speed</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>light</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

speed of light in medium

In Silica,

1.44 = (3e8m/s)/v

v= (3e8m/s)/1.44

v = 20.83e7m/s

v = 20.8 × 10^7m/s.

Light travels in silica at 20.8 × 10^7 m/s.

Answer:

2.08 x 108 m/s

The speed of light in this fiber is found to be v = c/n = (3.00 x 108 m/s)/(1.44) = 2.08 x 108 m/s.

A salt forms in the reaction of barium with chlorine. What is the most likely formula unit of this salt?
Scrat [10]
The answer to this question would be: BaCl 2
Barium is an alkali metal with 56 atomic number. Barium located in the group 2 of the periodic table because it has 2 valence electrons. Chlorine is a nonmetal that has 1 valence electron. When react, it would need 2 chlorine for each barium as the valence electron of barium is twice the chlorine.

in heating a kettle of water on an electric stove, 3.34×10^3 J of thermal energy was provided by the element of the stove. yet,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element is approximately 82.186%

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The thermal energy provided by the stove element, H_{supplied} = 3.34 × 10³ J

The amount thermal energy gained by the kettle, H_{absorbed}  = 5.95 × 10² J

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element in heating the kettle of water, η%, is given as follows;

\eta \% = \dfrac{H_{supplied} - H_{absorbed} }{H_{supplied}}  \times 100

Therefore, we get;

\eta \% = \dfrac{3.34 \times 10^3 - 5.95 \times 10^2}{3.34 \times 10^3}  \times 100 = \dfrac{549}{668} \times 100 \approx 82.186 \%

The percentage efficiency of the electrical element, η% ≈ 82.186%.

What are two different kinds of rock that are easily weathered by carbonic acid?
horsena [70]
Limestone and marble are the two rocks that are easily weathered by carbonic acid. Two kinds of weathering mostly affect the rocks. and they are physical weathering and chemical weathering. The above mentioned two rocks are highly affected by carbonic acid. The appeareance of these kind of rocks change their structure due to erosion very regularly. Caronation is the type of chemical weathering that affects the rocks limestone and marble. The carbonic acide is formed by the reaction of carbon dioxide in the air and water in the rivers. This carbonic acid results in weathering.
