“How have formulas helped us understand compound structure and its behavior?”

Chemistry

Hello there!

Formulas have helped us understand the compound structure and its behavior by letting us know the exact composition of a molecule. 

Different atoms have different properties, also, a different arrangement of atoms lead to different geometrical shapes. To understand compound structure and behavior it is necessary to know which atoms are in the molecule and how are they arranged. These two pieces of information can be obtained from the Chemical Formula, which tells us precisely the atoms and the proportions of each one in a given compound. 

Have a nice day!

Answer:

the molecules of each substance attract each other through dispersion (London) intermolecular force.whether a substance is solid, liquid or gas depends on the balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and their intermolecular attractions.

36.8 g of CuSO4(s) was added to water to prepare a 2.00 L solution. What is the
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Option D. 0.115 M

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of CuSO4 = 36.8 g

Volume of solution = 2 L

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.62 g/mol

Molarity of CuSO4 =..?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 36.8 g of CuSO4.

This can be obtained as shown below:

Mass of CuSO4 = 36.8 g

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.62 g/mol

Mole of CuSO4 =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CuSO4 = 36.8 / 159.62

Mole of CuSO4 = 0.23 mole

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the CuSO4 solution as illustrated below:

Mole of CuSO4 = 0.23 mole

Volume of solution = 2 L

Molarity of CuSO4 =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity of CuSO4 = 0.23 / 2

Molarity of CuSO4 = 0.115 M

Therefore, the molarity of the CuSO4 solution is 0.115 M.

A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps

A calorimeter contains 100 g of water at 39.8 ºC. A 8.23 g object at 50 ºC is placed inside the calorimeter. When equilibrium ha
Tju [1.3M]
When equilibrium has been reached so, according to this formula we can get the specific heat of the unknown metal and from it, we can define the metal as each metal has its specific heat:

Mw*Cw*ΔTw = Mm*Cm*ΔTm

when 
Mw → mass of water
Cw → specific heat of water
ΔTw → difference in temperature for water 

Mm→ mass of metal
Cw→ specific heat of the metal
ΔTm → difference in temperature for metal

by substitution:

100g * 4.18 * (40-39.8) = 8.23 g * Cm * (50-40)

∴ Cm = 83.6 / 82.3 = 1.02 J/g.°C

when the Cm of the Magnesium ∴ the unknown metal is Mg
