The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?
a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.
b. All cobalt atoms are identical.
c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.
d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).
<u>Explanation:</u>
Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
- All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
- Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
- Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
- The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
For the given options:
<u>For a:</u>
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.
Hence, the correct options are b) and c).
Answer:
Maybe they both have valence electrons and can be used in chemical reactions. I could be wrong, I don't have any exact answers.
Explanation:
5. B air is a mixture of many elements, but is not a chemically fused.
6. B Beef stew, composition varies throughout.
7. A. They can be chemically separated into their component elements, but they are all homogenous, and as such, have constant composition, which differs from the components properties, as the components must undergo a chemical change to become compounds.
<h3>Answer:</h3>
The New pressure (750 mmHg) is greater than the original pressure (500 mmHg) hence, the new volume (6.0 mL) is smaller than the original volume (9.0 mL).
<h3>Solution:</h3>
According to Boyle's Law, " <em>The Volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the applied Pressure</em>". Mathematically, the initial and final states of gas are given as,
P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂ ----------- (1)
Data Given;
P₁ = 500 mmHg
V₁ = 9.0 mL
P₂ = 750 mmHg
V₂ = ??
Solving equation 1 for V₂,
V₂ = P₁ V₁ / P₂
Putting values,
V₂ = (500 mmHg × 9.0 mL) ÷ 750 mmHg
V₂ = 6.0 mL
<h3>Result:</h3>
The New pressure (750 mmHg) is greater than the original pressure (500 mmHg) hence, the new volume (6.0 mL) is smaller than the original volume (9.0 mL).
