Why do scientists use different types of models to represent compounds

Chemistry

Answer is: scientists use different types of model to show different characteristics (chemical properties) of compound.

For example, ball and stick model gives informations about bond lenght and space filling model gives information about space occupied by atoms.

In chemistry, the ball-and-stick model is a molecular model of a chemical substance which is to display both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them.   The atoms are represented by spheres, connected by rods which represent the bonds. Every ball represent one atom in one molecule and they have different colors for different atoms (for example, carbon is black, hydrogen is white, nitrogen is blue).

There also other models: skeletal models, polyhedral models, composite models, computer-based models.

The combustion of ammonia in the presence of excess oxygen yields no2 and h2o: 4 nh3 (g) + 7 o2 (g) â 4 no2 (g) + 6 h2o (g) the
VLD [36.1K]
The answer would be 118.68 g.
Explanation for this is:4 moles of NH3 give 4 moles of NO2 
so 1mole of NH3 will give 1 mole of NO2 
43.9 grams of NH3 contains 2.58 moles 
so 2.58 moles will be produced of NO2 
which is 118.7 grams this the amount of oxygen that is used.

The energy required to ionize boron is 801 kJ/mol. You may want to reference (Pages 93 - 98) Section 2.5 while completing this p
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The frequency is  f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The energy required to ionize boron is E_b  =  801 KJ/mol

Generally the ionization energy of boron pre atom is mathematically represented as

     E_a  =  \frac{E_b}{N_A}

Here  N_A is the Avogadro's constant with value N_A  =  6.022*10^{23}

So

      E_a  =  \frac{801}{6.022*10^{23}}

=>     E_a  =  1.330 *10^{-18} \  J/atom

Generally the energy required to liberate one electron from an atom is equivalent to the ionization energy per atom and this mathematically represented as

       E =  hf  =  E_a

=>     hf  =  E_a

Here h is the Planks constant with value h = 6.626 *10^{-34}

So

       f =  \frac{1.330 *10^{-18}}{ 6.626 *10^{-34}}

=>      f =  2,01 * 10^{15} \  Hz

A sample of gas with an initial volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 784 torr and a temperature of 295 K is compressed to a volume
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of gas (V) = 12.5 L

Pressure (P) = 784 torr

Temperature (T) = 295 K

Final volume (V1) = 2.04 L

Final temperature (T1) = 310 K

Find:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = ?

Computation:

According to combine gas law method:

\frac{PV}{T} =\frac{P1V1}{T1} \\\\\frac{(784)(12.5)}{295} =\frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\33.22 = \frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\P1=5,048.18877

⇒ Final pressure (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr / 760

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm
