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

Chemistry

Zinaida [17]3 years ago

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!

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D.

Explanation:

A. Has a fixed volume This is not the right answer, liquids and gases take the shape of the container in which they are.

B. Particles stay in a fixed position This answer is wrong, this characteristic is  of solids but not of liquids and gases.

C. No particle movement This characteristic is also of solids, in liquids and gases the particles can move.

D. Takes the shape of the container. This is the right answer, liquids and gases take the shape of the container.

Which of the following is kept constant when using a bomb calorimeter?
trapecia [35]
Constant Volume Calorimetry, also know as bomb calorimetry, is used to measure the heat of a reaction while holding volume constant and resisting large amounts of pressure. Although these two aspects of bomb calorimetry make for accurate results, they also contribute to the difficulty of bomb calorimetry. In this module, the basic assembly of a bomb calorimeter will be addressed, as well as how bomb calorimetry relates to the heat of reaction and heat capacity and the calculations involved in regards to these two topics.

Introduction 

Calorimetry is used to measure quantities of heat, and can be used to determine the heat of a reaction through experiments. Usually a coffee-cup calorimeter is used since it is simpler than a bomb calorimeter, but to measure the heat evolved in a combustion reaction, constant volume or bomb calorimetry is ideal. A constant volume calorimeter is also more accurate than a coffee-cup calorimeter, but it is more difficult to use since it requires a well-built reaction container that is able to withstand large amounts of pressure changes that happen in many chemical reactions.

Most serious calorimetry carried out in research laboratories involves the determination of heats of combustion ΔHcombustion" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">ΔHcombustionΔHcombustion, since these are essential to the determination of standard enthalpies of formation of the thousands of new compounds that are prepared and characterized each month. In a constant volume calorimeter, the system is sealed or isolated from its surroundings, and this accounts for why its volume is fixed and there is no volume-pressure work done. A bomb calorimeter structure consists of the following:

Steel bomb which contains the reactantsWater bath in which the bomb is submergedThermometerA motorized stirrerWire for ignition

is usually called a “bomb”, and the technique is known as bomb calorimetry

Another consequence of the constant-volume condition is that the heat released corresponds to qv , and thus to the internal energy change ΔUrather than to ΔH. The enthalpy change is calculated according to the formula
