Answer:

Option (C) from a vacuum to air

Explanation:

Speed of light in any media depends on the refractive index(n) of the medium in which light is travelling.The medium having least refractive index have the fastest speed of the light.As the refractive index of the vacuum is less(1.0000) than that of the air(1.0003), so the speed of light will slows down while moving from vacuum to air.The refractive index 'n' is the ratio between speed of light in vacuum(c) to the speed at which the light is travelling i.e v,  (n = c / v).

As far as we know, the speed of light is faster in a vacuum than in any other medium. Therefor C is correct. The speed of light would slow down going from a vacuum to air.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

a. The original temperature of the gas is 2743K.

b. 20atm.

Explanation:

a. As a result of the gas laws, you can know that the temperature is inversely proportional to moles of a gas when pressure and volume remains constant. The equation could be:

T₁n₁ = T₂n₂

<em>Where T is absolute temperature and n amount of gas at 1, initial state and 2, final states.</em>

<em />

<em>Replacing with values of the problem:</em>

T₁n₁ = T₂n₂

X*7.1g = (X+300)*6.4g

7.1X = 6.4X + 1920

0.7X = 1920

X = 2743K

<h3>The original temperature of the gas is 2743K</h3><h3 />

b. Using general gas law:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure (Our unknown)</em>

<em>V is volume = 2.24L</em>

<em>n are moles of gas (7.1g / 35.45g/mol = 0.20 moles)</em>

R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK

And T is absolute temperature (2743K)

P*2.24L = 0.20mol*0.082atmL/molK*2743K

<h3>P = 20atm</h3>

The boiling point of another member of this homologous series was found to be 309 KK. What is the likely molecular formula for t
Ganezh [65]

Answer: Pentane C5H12

Explanation:

The boiling point of a substance is simply defined as the temperature whereby a liquid's vapor pressure is equal to the pressure that is surrounding the liquid and hence, the liquid will changes into vapor.

The likely molecular formula for this compound is Pentane i.e C5H12 due to the fact that its boiling point is between Butane with formula C4H10 and Hexane with formula C6H14 boiling points.

A multivitamin tablet contains 40 milligrams of potassium. how many moles of potassium does each tablet contain?
katrin2010 [14]
Conversion of mole to grams
k in mole = 1 mole/ atomic mass
K in mole =1/ 39.0983 g/mole
                = 0.255765 g/mole
converting 40 grams of K
 K 40 grams x [ 1 mole/ 39.0983 grams] = 1.0230623 mole
There are 1.0230623 moles of K in 40 K of Potassium

What is the overall charge of the compound frbr
sammy [17]

Answer:

Zero  

Explanation:

FrBr is an ionic compound .

Fr is in Group 1. Br is in Group 17.

The charges on the ions are +1 and -1, respectively.

The compound consists of Fr⁺Br⁻ ions.

However, there are equal numbers of + and - charges, so

The overall charge of the compound is zero.
