Prelab for Experiment 4: The Atomic Theory of Matter 1. Demonstrate the Law of Multiple Proportions with the following data: a.

Iron forms two compounds with chlorine, compound X and compound Y. When 3.00 g of compound X was analyzed, it was found that 1.68 g of CI combined with 1.32 g of Fe. When 5.00 g of compound Y was analyzed, it was found that 3.28 g of Cl combined with 1.72 g of Fe. To illustrate the Law, one needs to know how much of one element combines with the same mass as the other element in each compound, but the data above give different masses for both Fe and Cl. One way to standardize the data is to find out how much of one element, say Cl, combines with (if 1.75 g of Cl combines with 1.25 g of Fe, how many g of Cl would combine with 1.00 g of Fe...") Do this for both compounds, X and Y exactly 1 g of the other, say Fe. This can be done by a simple proportion method

The Law of Multiple Proportions states that if 2 elements form more than one compound between them, if the mass of one of the elements is fixed, the masses of the other element will be in a ratio of small whole numbers.

In this case, the two elements are Fe and Cl, and the 2 compounds are X and Y. Let us fix the mass of Fe in 1.00 g and analyze what happens with the masses of Cl.

For X:

1.00gFe.\frac{1.68gCl}{1.32gFe} =1.27gCl

For Y:

1.00gFe.\frac{3.28gCl}{1.72gFe} =1.91gCl

The ratio mCl in X/mCl in Y is 1.27g/1.91g = 0.664 ≅ 2/3. This is a ratio of small whole numbers, which proves the Law of Multiple Proportions.

Compare the rates of effusion for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gases
Airida [17]
According to Grahams law the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular weight. The rate of diffusion is the measure of rate at which two gases mix. From this law we can say that for the two gases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the rate of effusion of carbon monoxide is greater than that of carbon dioxide, this is because carbon monoxide is lighter (28 g) compared to carbon dioxide (44 g).

Tanzania [10]

(p1)(V1)/(T1) = (p2)(V2)/(T2)
(1.00 atm)(V) / (273 + 25K) = (40.0 atm)(V/10) / (273 + T)
273 + T = (40.0)(1/10)(273 + 25K) / (1.00)
T = 919°C

The element copper has 29 protons. What is the atomic number of copper?
stiks02 [169]
The atomic number of copper is 29.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to rate my answer as well as maybe give it a "Thanks"? (Or even better a "Brainliest"). And if it’s not correct, I am sorry for wasting your time, and good luck finding the correct answer :)
