Which statements are inconsistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated?

Chemistry

lions [1.4K]2 years ago
8 0

Dalton's atomic theory upheld the idea of the indivisibility of the atom and also the idea that atoms combine in whole number ratios.

According to Dalton's theory, atoms can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that we can not split helium atoms into two oxygen atoms. Doing this will imply dividing the atom.

In his theory also, the combination of atoms occur in whole number ratios, this means that an oxygen atom can not combine with 1.5 hydrogen atoms to form water since it is not a whole number ratio.

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.85m long, 0.810m wide and 0.740m deep. If it is filled to within 2.57 in from the
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The volume of water in water bath is 1,011 Liters.

Explanation:

Length of the water bath, L = 1.85 m

Width of the water bath, W= 0.810  m

Height of the water bath ,H= 0.740 m

Height of the water in water bath, h= 0.740 m - 2.57 inches

1 m = 39.37 inch

= 0.740 m - \frac{2.57}{39.37} m = 0.6747 m

Volume of the water in bath = L × W × h

=1.85 m\times 0.810 m\times 0.6747 m=1.011 m^3

1 m^3=1000 L

1.011 m^3=1.011\times 1000 L=1,011 L

The volume of water in water bath is 1,011 Liters.

Many classic experiments have given us indirect evidence of the nature of the atom. Which of the experiments listed below did no
belka [17]

Answer:

The experiment that did not give the results described is e) The Rutherford experiment proved the Thomson "plum-pudding" model of the atom to be essentially correct.

Explanation:

  1. First of all, let's start with the experiment listed in <em>b) The Rutherford experiment was useful in determining the nuclear charge on the atom</em>. This is true, because Rutherford was able to tell through this experiment that the atoms consisted mostly of empty space, with a positively charged nucleus in its center (he was able to tell it was positive because of the deflections observed on the positive alpha particles he used).
  2. Next, we have experiment <em>c) The electric discharge tube proved that electrons have a negative charge</em>. This is also true, given that Thomson was able to correctly determine that there existed particles that were negatively charged, called electrons (he determined this by observing that the rays deviated from the negatively charged plate of the discharge tube in his experiment).
  3. Experiment d) <em>Milikan's oil-drop experiment showed that the charge on any particle was a simple multiple of the charge on the electron</em>, also states the correct results. He was able to determine the charge of many electrically charged droplets of oil, and found out that the charges were a simple multiple of a base value, which he proposed to be that of the negative charge of an electron.
  4. Finally, we take a look at experiment <em>e) The Rutherford experiment proved the Thomson "plum-pudding" model of the atom to be essentially correct</em>. This is the experiment that did not give the result described. In fact, the Rutherford experiment proved that Thomson's "plum-pudding" model was not correct. This is because he determined that atoms consist mostly of empty space, with a dense, positively charged nucleus in its center, surrounded by negatively charged electrons. If Thomson's model were true, Rutherford would have not observed deflected alpha particles in his experiment.

Which pH change represents a hundredfold increase in the concentration of H3O+?
goldenfox [79]
The answer is (3) pH 3 to pH 1. The pH is related to the concentration of H3O+ with the relationship: pH = -lg c(H+). So when concentration of H3O+ increase, the pH will decrease. And decrease 2 when when increase hundredfold. Because 100=10^2.

Hydrocarbons consisting of short carbon chains are ________.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons with short chain lengths are more volatile than those with longer chains. A practical example of this can be seen in the first few members of the alkane series. They are mostly gaseous in nature and this is quite a contrast to the next few members which are solid in nature.

As we move down the group, we can see that there is an increase in the number of solids. Hence, as we go down the group we can see a relative increase in order and thus we expect more stability at room temperature compared to the volatility of the shorter chain
