J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

What is the molar mass for FeBr3

AleksAgata [21]

Mass of Iron (Fe): 55.845Mass of Bromine (Br): 79.904
You need to multiply the mass of Br by 3 because there are 3 Bromine atoms.
(79.904)(3)+ 55.845= 239.712+55.845 = 295.557 g/mol

The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases, elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these

netineya [11]

We call these reactive elements, becausethese atoms really like to follow the buddysystem and form bonds with other atoms.Noble gases, however, don't have thisproblem. Their outer shells are filled to the max, so they don't need to bond or react with any other atoms.

an engineer wishes to design a container that will hold 12.0 mol of ethane at a pressure no greater than 5.00x10*2 kPa and a tem

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.

Explanation:

Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.

By the ideal gas law,

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

$\displaystyle V = \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}$ .

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)

The numerical value of $R$ will be $8.314$ if $P$ , $V$ , and $T$ are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:

$P =\rm 5.00\times 10^{2}\;kPa = 5.00\times 10^{2}\times 10^{3}\; Pa = 5.00\times 10^{5}\; Pa$ ;
$V$ shall be in cubic meters, $\rm m^{3}$ ;
$T = \rm 52.0 \textdegree C = (52.0 + 273.15)\; K = 325.15\; K$ .

Apply the ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}V &= \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}\\ &= \frac{12.0\times 8.314\times 325.15}{5.00\times 10^{5}}\\ &= \rm 0.0649\; m^{3} \\ &= \rm (0.0649\times 10^{3})\; L \\ &=\rm 64.9\; L\end{aligned}$ .
