Answer : Option B) All atoms of a single substance are identical.
Explanation : The scientist John Dalton proposed the atomic theory which had the postulates as follows.
i) All matter/substances consists of indivisible particles known as atoms.
ii) Atoms of the same element/substance are similar in mass,shape and size, but differ from the atoms of other elements.
iii) Atoms obey the law of conservation of energy which says atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
iv) Atoms of different elements may combine with each other in a fixed, simple, whole number ratios to form any compound atoms.
v) Atoms of same element can combine in ratio with more than one to form two or more compounds.
vi) The atom is considered to be the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction
False because when a substance changes from one state of matter to another it is a physical change no matter how many states of matter it skips
Answer:
a) 1.61 mol
b) Al is limiting reactant
c) HBr is in excess
Explanation:
Given data:
Moles of Al = 3.22 mol
Moles of HBr = 4.96 mol
Moles of H₂ formed = ?
What is limiting reactant =
What is excess reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Al + 2HBr → 2AlBr + H₂
Now we will compare the moles:
Al : H₂
2 : 1
3.22 : 1/2×3.22 = 1.61 mol
HBr : H₂
2 : 1
4.96 : 1/2×4.96 = 2.48 mol
The number of moles of H₂ produced by Al are less it will be limiting reactant while HBr is present in excess.
Moles of H₂ :
Number of moles of H₂ = 1.61 mol
Answer:
Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.
Explanation:
Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.
