Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful

1 answer:

6 0

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

kirill [66]

To answer this question, you need to know <span>Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:</span>
<span>Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
</span>4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol

For the reaction between aqueous silver nitrate and aqueous sodium chloride, write each of the following. The products of the re

Answer:

A balanced ionic equation shows the reacting ions in a chemical reaction. These equations can be used to represent what happens in precipitation reactions or displacement reactions.

Precipitation reactions

In a typical precipitation reaction, two soluble reactants form an insoluble product and a soluble product.

For example, silver nitrate solution reacts with sodium chloride solution. Insoluble solid silver chloride and sodium nitrate solution form:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

The Na+ ions and NO3- ions remain separate in the sodium nitrate solution and do not form a precipitate. Ions that remain essentially unchanged during a reaction are called spectator ions.This means these can be ignored when writing the ionic equation. Only how the solid silver chloride forms is needed to be shown:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)

In a balanced ionic equation:

the number of positive and negative charges is the same

the numbers of atoms of each element on the left and right are the same

Displacement reactions

Displacement reactions take place when a reactive element displaces a less reactive element from one of its compounds.

A common type of displacement reaction takes place when a reactive metal reacts with the salt of a less reactive metal. For example, copper reacts with silver nitrate solution to produce silver and copper(II) nitrate solution:

2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq)

In this reaction, the NO3- ions remain in the solution and do not react - they are the spectator ions in this reaction. So, they can be removed from the ionic equation:

2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)

Question

Explain why this ionic equation is balanced:

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → BaSO4(s)

Hide answer

There are the same numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The total charge on both sides is also the same (zero).

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the formation of a silver carbonate precipitate:

Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Hide answer

2Ag+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → Ag2CO3(s)

Question

Balance this ionic equation, which represents the displacement of iodine from iodide ions by chlorine:

Cl2(aq) + I-(aq) → I2(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Hide answer

Cl2(aq) + 2I-(aq) → I2(aq) + 2Cl-(aq

Answer:

120 g of NaCl in 300 g H20 at 90 C

Explanation:

At x = 90 go vertical to the line for NaCl...then go left to the y-axis to find the solubility in 100 g H20 = 40

we want 300 g H20 so multiply this by 3 to get 120 gm of NaCl in 300 g
