<span>No John Dalton made a fairly fundamental description of an atomic theory that still holds today for chemistry. In his theory, there are 4 things to consider 1. All matter is made of atoms, and atoms are indivisible and indestructible. * This right there makes the process described in the question impossible since the described process would require the destruction of copper and carbon, which is in violation of the first element of Dalton's theory. 2. All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties. 3. Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. 4. A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms. * This also is in conflict with the process described in the question. Since the process is described as chemical, that eliminates nuclear methods just as fission, or fusion. Now the spirit of the theory remains true, but modern knowledge does make the details different. For instance, we know of isotopes, so #2 isn't strictly true any longer. We also know of nuclear reactions so #1 isn't completely true either. But in general, his theory is as useful today as it was two hundred years ago.</span>

What is the molarity of a solution if you take 12.0 grams of ca(no3)2 and mix it with 0.105 l of water?
Lunna [17]
The  molarity  of  a solution  if it tale 12.0   grams  of  Ca(No3)2  is  calculated as below

molarity =  moles/volume in liters
 moles = mass/molar mass =  12.0 g/ 164 g/mol =  0.073 moles

molarity is therefore  = 0.073/0.105 = 0.7 M

A sample of ammonia ^NH3h gas is completely decomposed to nitrogen and hydrogen gases over heated iron wool. If the total pressu
icang [17]

Answer : The partial pressure of N_2 and H_2 is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

Explanation :

According to the Dalton's Law, the partial pressure exerted by component 'i' in a gas mixture is equal to the product of the mole fraction of the component and the total pressure.

Formula used :

p_i=X_i\times p_T

X_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}

So,

p_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}\times p_T

where,

p_i = partial pressure of gas

X_i = mole fraction of gas

p_T = total pressure of gas

n_i = moles of gas

n_T = total moles of gas

The balanced decomposition of ammonia reaction will be:

2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2

Now we have to determine the partial pressure of N_2 and H_2

p_{N_2}=\frac{n_{N_2}}{n_T}\times p_T

Given:

n_{N_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg

p_{N_2}=\frac{1}{4}\times (866mmHg)=216.5mmHg

and,

p_{H_2}=\frac{n_{H_2}}{n_T}\times p_T

Given:

n_{H_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg

p_{H_2}=\frac{3}{4}\times (866mmHg)=649.5mmHg

Thus, the partial pressure of N_2 and H_2 is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

Calculate the volume of a 0.5M solution containing 20g of NaOH
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole present in 20g of NaOH. This is illustrated below:

Mass = 20g

Molar Mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Number of mole =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaOH = 20/40 = 0.5mol

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

Molarity = 0.5M

Mole = 0.5mole

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.5/0.5

Volume = 1L
