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.

Why does the mixture of Fe and S have different reactions than the compound FeS?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

fe+s is a mixture of iron and sulphur and it can be separated by magnetic separation. But FeS is a compound formed by heating iron and sulphur together.it can't be separated by any method.

Here are some of the differences between a mixture of iron and sulfur, and iron sulfide: the mixture can contain more or less iron, but iron sulfide always contains equal amounts of iron and sulfur. the iron and sulfur atoms are not joined together in the mixture, but they are joined together in iron sulfide.

To completely neutralise 200cm3 of 0.5mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a student adds 100cm3 of 0.5mol/dm3 sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
OLga [1]

Answer:

0.1 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Volume of the solution of sodium hydroxide (V): 200 cm³
  • Molar concentration of sodium hydroxide (C): 0.5 mol/dm³

Step 2: Convert "V" to dm³

We will use the conversion factor 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³.

200 cm³ × 1 dm³/1000 cm³ = 0.200 dm³

Step 3: Calculate the moles (n) of NaOH

The molarity of the NaOH solution is equal to the moles of NaOH divided by the volume of solution.

C = n/V

n = C × V

n = 0.5 mol/dm³ × 0.200 dm³ = 0.1 mol

Answer:

Mass = 15.13 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of hydrogen = 8.11×10²³

Mass of ammonia formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂ + N₂          →    2NH₃

Number of moles of hydrogen:

1 mole contain 6.022× 10²³ atoms

8.11×10²³ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022× 10²³ atoms

1.35 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen and ammonia:

            H₂        :         NH₃

             3         :           2

           1.35      :         2/3×1.35 = 0.89 mol

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.89 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 15.13 g
