Which scientist is credited with first stating that electrons orbit an atomic nucleus

1 answer:

8 0

The scientist which was credited with first stating that electrons orbit an atomic nucleus was Niels Henrik David Bohr. He was the proponent of the Bohr model of the atom, wherein he states that energy level of electrons are distinct and that electrons revolve on stable orbits within the atomic nucleus but can actually transfer from one orbit (level) to another. The orbitals are called: s, p, d and f orbitals.

The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of dicyclohexyl maleate is 4 to 6 to 1. what is its mo

Semenov [28]

Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:

C4H6O 

we compute the molar mass of this single formula: 
4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol 

Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: 

280 / 70 = 4 

This means that actual molecular formula is: 

(C4H6O)4 or 

C16H24O4

1.15 g of a metallic element needs 300 cm3 of oxygen for complete reaction, at 298 K and 1 atm

sashaice [31]

1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm

Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT

R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol

V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter

T = 298 K

p = 1 atm

=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol

2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type

X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O or

2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO or

4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3

In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)

So, lets probe those 3 cases.

3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X

Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:

1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol

That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+

So, now probe the case 2.

4) Case 2:

2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol

And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol

That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.

4) Case 3

4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635

atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol

That does not correspond to any metal.

Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
