AI Thread Summary
To find the number of hydrogen molecules in 1 cm³ of a balloon containing 1 gram of hydrogen gas, the molar mass of hydrogen is used, which is 2 g/mol. Given that the balloon has a volume of 4 liters, calculations based on the ideal gas law (pV=nRT) lead to a final result of approximately 7.5 x 10^19 molecules per cm³. The discussion also touches on the definition of a mole, emphasizing its relevance in calculating the number of molecules. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving gas-related problems in chemistry. The calculations confirm the high density of hydrogen molecules in a small volume.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggle to understand the concept of the question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
