I don't know if you've studied Qualitative Inorganic Analysis yet, but the ions which get precipitated but dil. HCl are called Group I ion, which are Ag+, Hg2+, and Pb2+. Upon adding the reagent they precipitate as chlorides. SInce they gave that the precipitate dissolves when the solution is...

Homework Statement I know that the equation ΔSsystem = Q/T is only valid for a reversible process but whenever i see problems involving a irreversible isothermal expansion of ideal gas, the ΔSsurroundings is taken as -Qirr/T. Why is that equation valid for surroundings, is it because the...

sorry, μ = refractive index on medium u = object distance v = image distance r = radius of curvature of spherical surface Let me rephrase my question: For a lens: Refraction at first surface follow by refraction on second surface; For a silver lens: What i have been taught: Refraction at first...

When dealing with lenses which have one curved/flat surface silvered why do we consider light to refract twice before hitting the silver side? This diagram should show what i mean: The way it appears to me is that after light enters the un-silvered surface it refracts then it does...
