The early ideas of the atom states that the indivisible object is hollow or is a solid object with nothing inside. The later discoveries or works of the scientists states that inside the atoms are the subatomic particles which are the electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Answer:
The boiling point of sample X and sample Y are exactly the same.
Explanation:
The difference between sample X and sample Y is that they occupy different volumes. However, they both contain pure water. Remember that pure water has uniform composition irrespective of its volume.
Volume does not affect the boiling point as long as the volume is small enough not to give rise to significant pressure changes in the liquid.
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid; under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature.
It can be clearly seen from the above that the volume of a solution of pure water does not affect its boiling point hence sample X and sample Y will have the same boiling point.
Answer:
The hollow ball is more buoyant than the solid ball.
Explanation:
The hollow ball will float while the solid ball sinks because the volume of water displaced by the hollow ball is more than that displaced by the solid ball.
An object floats when it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. A solid ball is more compact, and hence, does not displace a lot of water when dropped into a bowl full of water. On the other hand, the hollow ball will have a larger curved surface area, since it has no fill. This will make it displace a larger volume of water and hence make it float.
Answer:
In the given chemical reaction:
Species Oxidized: I⁻
Species Reduced: Fe³⁺
Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺
Reducing agent: I⁻
As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺
Explanation:
Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.
The chemical species that <u><em>gets reduced by gaining electrons </em></u><u>is called an </u><u><em>oxidizing agent</em></u>. Whereas, the chemical species that <u><em>gets oxidized by losing electrons </em></u><u>is called a </u><u><em>reducing agent</em></u><u>.</u>
Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂
<u>Oxidation half-reaction</u>: 2 I⁻ + → I₂ + 2 e⁻ ....(1)
<u>Reduction half-reaction</u>: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2
⇒ 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ ....(2)
In the given redox reaction, <u>Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).</u>
<u>Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.</u>
