“Models are developed when a scientist’s creativity and insight are combined with data and observations about many similar scenarios”. Models are used for a lot of things in science. As we know everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the same applies to models. Models help us illustrate the concept and formulate hypothesis. When models are used, the scientists are able to notice patterns and develop and revise representation that become a useful model, which makes their scientific knowledge stronger and helps them understand more about the nature of science. Models are a simplified representation. One of the biggest advantages of the model is, that it allows you to have a look at things which are too small such as atoms or too big such as the solar system.

 

Although, having many benefits, models have quite a number of disadvantages. Models sometimes oversimplify the process therefore leading to a misunderstanding. As models are supposed to be a simplified representation, they will not be complex, which means they will lack detail. For Example “our particle model explains many things about matter, it is not comprehensive — for example, it cannot predict why certain materials have different electrical properties. We could add further refinements that are outside the scope of this course to enable it to do so, but it would make our model so complicated that it would no longer be useful to us”

using the following thermochemical equation, determine the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (c6h6).
aliya0001 [1]

the amount of heat produced from the combustion of 24.3 g benzene (c6h6) is ΔH = -976.5 kJ

There are two moles of benzene involved in the process (C6H6). Since the heat of this reaction is -6278 kJ, the burning of 2 moles of benzene will result in a heat loss of 6278 kJ. This reaction is exothermic.

Enthalpy, or the value of H, is a unit of measurement for heat that relies on the amount of matter present (number of moles).

Thus, 24.3 g of benzene contains:

n = mass/molar mass, where n = 24.3/78.11, and n = 0.311 moles.

2 moles = 6278 kJ

0.311 moles =x

By the straightforward direct three rule:

2x = -1953.08 x = -976.5 kJ

Write einstein's equation that explains the energy from nuclear reactions. _________ use the caret symbol (^) to show an exponen
Katen [24]
I would say it should be Einstein's famous equation of e=mc^2 which means energy =mass x the speed of light squared. With this equation Einstein showed that energy comes from a mass travelling at the speed of light squared which is a fundamental equation to explain physical phenomena.
