Dalton's atomic theory was based on the law of conservation of mass which states that the matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only transformed into one form or another. In a chemical reaction, total mass of the reactants will be equal to the total mass of the products.

Taking an example,

methane+oxygen\rightarrow \text{carbon dioxide}+water

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Mass of CH_4 = 16g

Mass of 2O_2 = 2\times 32g

Total mass on reactant side = (16+2\times 32)

Total mass on reactant side = 80g

Mass of CO_2 = 44g

Mass of 2H_2O=2\times 18g

Total mass on product side = (44+2\times 18)

Total mass on product side = 80g

It is seen from the above example that the

total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side.

Identify each type of bond:
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The type of bond between the Oxygen atom and the hydrogen is Covalent

this is because the 2 electrons are being shared by both hydrogen and oxygen

The type of bond this molecule makes as a whole is called a Hydrogen Bond

A hydrogen bond is formed because of the partial +ve and -ve charge in a molecule

The cause of the partial +ve and -ve charge is the comparatively high electronegativity of oxygen which makes the electron get attracted towards the oxygen atom while the hydrogens try to maintain the maximum distance from the lone pairs due to repulsion

Hope it helped

Benzene has a specific gravity of 0.88. if it was spilled in a river what would it do?
Gelneren [198K]
As we know,
                    Density of Benzene  =  876 Kg/m³
And,
                    Density of Water       =  997 Kg/m³
So,
     Specific Gravity is calculated as,

                     Specific Gravity  =  Density of Benzene / Density of Water

                     Specific Gravity    =   876 Kg/m³ / 997 Kg/m³

                     Specific Gravity    =  0.878

Every object having specific gravity less than 1 will float on water and if value is greater than 1 then it will sink.

Benzene being non-polar in nature does not mix with water and due to less density it will float on the surface of water.

What changes are observed on heat capacity ratio and output temperatures by increasing the specific heat capacity of both the fl
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

b- The heat capacity ratio increases but output temperature don’t change

Explanation:

The heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a body, by 1 degree. On the other hand, the specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a of unit mass of a material by 1 degree.

Heat capacity is an extensive property meaning its value depends on the amount of material. Specific heat capacity is found by dividing heat capacity by the mass of the sample, thus making it independent of the amount (intensive property). So if the specific heat capacity increases and the mass of the sample remains the same, the heat capacity must increase too. Because of that options c and d that say that heat capacity reamins same are INCORRECT.

On the other hand, in which has to be with options a and b both say that the heat capacity increases which is correct, but about the output temperatures what happens is that if we increase the specific heat capacity of both fluids that are involved in a process of heat exchange in the same value, the value of the output temperatures do not change so only option a is CORRECT.

Answer: C) a redox reaction that produces an electric current

Explanation:

Chemical cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. The cell consists of the negative terminal called as anode where oxidation takes place and a positive terminal called as cathode where reduction takes place.

Electrolytic cell is a device which is used to carry out chemical reactions by the use of electrical energy. The cell consists of the negative terminal called as cathode where reduction takes place and a positive terminal called as anode where oxidation takes place.
