List the sub-atomic particles in the order in which they were discovered and tell who discovered each one.

1 answer:

7 0

Photons were the first sub-atomic particles detected, but not quite discovered as they could not be explained. Photons were first detected by Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Victor Schumann, and Winhelm Rontgen. The next, and first sub-atomic particle discovered, was the electron. The electron was discovered by J. J. Thompson in the late 1800s. The next two sub-atomic particle discoveries were the alpha particle and photon, discovered by Ernest Rutherford and Paul Villard respectively. Rutherford also discovered the proton and in 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron.

How many are molecules ( or formula) in each sample?

andre [41]

Answer:

$4.010 \times 10^{25} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { present in } 55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$
$16.86 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \text { present in } 459 \mathrm{kg}\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

Explanation:

Number of molecules for $55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$

$\text { Firstly molar mass is calculated of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}:$

Atomic mass of Na + H + C + 3(O) = 22.99 + 1.008 + 12.01 + 3 × 16.00 = 84.00 g/mol

$\text { Number of molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { in } 55.93 \text { kg are as follows: }$

$55.93 \times\left(10^{3} \mathrm{gm}\right) \times \frac{1 \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}}{84.00 \mathrm{gm} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}} \times\left(6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{molecules} \text { i.e Avogadro number }\right)$

$=4.010 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \text { present in } 55.93 \mathrm{kg} \text { of } \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}$

Number of molecules for for $\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

$\text { Firstly molar mass is calculated of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

= Atomic mass of 3(Na) + P + 4(O)

= 3(22.99) + 30.97 + 4(16.00) = 163.94 g/mol

$459 \times\left(10^{3} \mathrm{gm}\right) \times \frac{1 \mathrm{mol} N a_{3} P O_{4}}{163.94 \mathrm{gm} N a_{3} P O_{4}} \times\left(6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{molecules} \text { i.e Avogadro number) } / 1 \mathrm{mol}\right.$

$=16.86 \times 10^{26} \text { molecules of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4} \text { present in } 459 \mathrm{kg}\left(4.59 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{gm}\right) \text { of } \mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$

2.41 x 10^2 Cm to meters

Assoli18 [71]

We know that there are 100 cm in 1 m, so we can use this to convert to meters:

$(\frac{2.41x10^{2}cm}{1})*(\frac{1m}{100cm} )=2.41m$

Therefore we know that $2.41x10^{2}$ cm is equal to 2.41 m.

If gas is truly to be classified as a form of matter this means it can be measured. What form of gas can be measured?

juin [17]

Answer:

Gas is sometimes measured in cubic feet at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and an atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch. Gas production from wells is discussed in terms of thousands or millions of cubic feet (Mcf and MMcf). Resources and reserves are calculated in trillions of cubic feet (Tcf).
