Lewis is making a model of the Earth-Moon system. He knows that the diameter of the Earth is about four times greater than the d

iameter of the Moon. He uses a globe that is 16 inches in diameter to represent the Earth and a balloon that is blown up to be 4 inches in diameter to represent the Moon.
What property of the Earth-Moon system is best represented by this model?
A.
the materials that make up the Earth and Moon
B.
the size of the actual Earth and Moon
C.
the appearance of the Earth and Moon
D.
the relative scale of the Earth and Moon

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The relative scale is used to compare two objects or models, in terms of its scale. This enables to understand the relation between the scale of one model that is directly measurable and the other that is too large to measure. Here the direct measurable model is the globe-balloon system and the non-measurable large model is the earth-moon system.

According to the provided condition, Lewis knew that the earth's diameter is four times bigger than that of the moon. He constructed a model of its own by taking a globe of diameter 16 inches and a balloon of diameter 4 inches. <u>He compares this globe to the earth and the balloon to the moon. His model completely satisfies the condition maintaining their relative sizes</u>.  

So the property of relative scale of earth and the moon system is appropriately shown in this model.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

D. this is the correct answer because the question is showing a comparison of sizes rather than the actual sizes which eliminates B. A and C have no relevance.

Where are the electrons found in Bohr's atomic model?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

In the shell...

Explanation:

In the electronic shell, or the orbit..

Bohr's Atomic Model was given by Niels Bohr. He proposed that the electrons inside an atom moved around in orbits or shells. There were different shells in the atom named as K, L, M, N... These were also called energy levels...

How many moles of pentane are in 1.48x1021
vodka [1.7K]

multiply the number of each atom with its molecular mass. (see the periodic table)

5*12 + 12*1 = 72 gram per mole.

Or more accurately: 5*12.01078 + 12*1.007947 = 72.149264 g/mole

How many particles are present in 12.47 grams of NaCl
liq [111]

Answer:

1.26*10²³ particles are present in 12.47 grams of NaCl

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023 * 10²³ particles per mole. The Avogadro number applies to any substance.

So, first of all you must know the amount of moles that represent 12.47 grams of NaCl. For that it is necessary to know the molar mass.

You know:

  • Na: 23 g/mole
  • Cl: 35.45 g/mole

So the molar mass of NaCl is: 23 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 58.45 g/mole

Now you apply a rule of three as follows: if 58.45 grams are present in 1 mole of NaCl, 12.47 grams in how many moles will they be?

moles=\frac{12.47 grams*1 mole}{58.45 grams}

moles= 0.21

You apply a rule of three again, knowing Avogadro's number: if in 1 mole of NaCl there are 6,023 * 10²³ particles, in 0.21 moles how many particles are there?

number of particles=\frac{0.21 moles*6.023*10^{23} }{1 mole}

number of particles= 1.26*10²³

<u><em>1.26*10²³ particles are present in 12.47 grams of NaCl</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Only 5 questions! All you have to do is check my answers...1. A flask contains four gases: CH4, O2, C2H5, and N2. When the stopp
jarptica [38.1K]

1. CH4
2. Br2
3. 25 g/mol

Graham's law indicates that the rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight. So the lighter the gas, the more rapid the diffusion. With that in mind, let's look at your questions:

1. A flask contains four gases: CH4, O2, C2H5, and N2. When the stopper is removed, which gas will diffuse the fastest?The answer here will be the lightest of the 4 gasses. So let's look at the molar mass of each gas:
CH4 = 16.04 g/mol
O2 = 32.00 g/mol
C2H5 = 29.06
N2 = 28.01
And CH4 is the lightest and therefore the fastest.

2. Which gas effuses 2.39 times slower than nitrogen gas? O2 Cl2 Br2 <--- I2
Let's start with the square root of 28.01 which is 5.292447449.
Now multiply by 2.39 and square the result to get the molar mass of the
desired gas which is (5.29*2.39)^2 = 12.64^2 = 159.77Now let's look at the molar masses.
O2 = 32
Cl2 = 70.91
Br2 = 159.81
I2 = 253.81
And the match goes to Br2

3. What is the molecular mass of a gas that effuses three times faster than radon? 16 g/mol 25 g/mol <--- 50 g/mol 67 g/mol,The molar mass of radon is 222 g/mol. So let's get the square root, divide by
3, then square the result. So(sqrt(222)/3)^2 = (14.89966443/3)^2 = 4.966554809^2 = 24.66666667 g/mol.And of the available choices, 25 g/mol is the best match.
