Why do scientist use models to study atoms

Scientist use models to study atoms because you cannot either see or perceive directly what do atoms look like.

Models permit to explain in a simplified way how the atoms are constituted, and, so, figure out how they behave and how they are the bulding blocks of the matter (elements and compounds).

A model can be a drawing or structure with balls and sticks, which show in an idealized way what an atom is.

Since the scientists have discovered different facts about the atoms along the last 200 years the models of the atoms have also evolved.

The plum pudding model of the atom proposed by JJ Thompson was different of the nuclear model proposed by Rutherford, and Rutherford's was different from the planetary model proposed by Bohr, and this is different from the quantum model.

Models are used to study atoms because we can never really see an atom up close, and a model is like a super magnified version of the atom. Plus, its easier to study from them because we can pin point the different characteristics of the atom (Protons, Neutrons, etc.)

How many moles of sulfur are in 53.7 grams of sulfur?
PolarNik [594]
NO.OF.MOLES= MASS/ATOMIC MASS
THE ATOMICITY OF SULPHUR IS 8 AND ITS MASS NUMBER IS 32.
SO, THE ATOMIC MASS IS 256
NO.OF.MOLES= 53.7/256
= 537/2560
= 0.2097

Based on the following thermodynamic data, calculate the boiling point of ethanol in degrees Celsius. Substance ΔH∘f (kJ/mol) S∘
levacccp [35]

Answer:

76.03 °C.

Explanation:

Equation:

C2H5OH(l) --> C2H5OH(g)

ΔHvaporization = ΔH(products) - ΔH (reactants)

= (-235.1 kJ/mol) - (-277.7 kK/mol)

= 42.6 kJ/mol.

ΔSvaporization = ΔS(products) - ΔS(reactants)

= 282.6 J/K.mol - 160.6 J/K.mol

= 122 J/K.mol

= 0.122 kJ/K.mol

Using gibbs free energy equation,

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = 0,

T = ΔH/ΔS

T = 42.6/0.122

= 349.18 K.

Coverting Kelvin to °C,

= 349.18 - 273.15

= 76.03 °C.

What changes are observed on heat capacity ratio and output temperatures by increasing the specific heat capacity of both the fl
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

b- The heat capacity ratio increases but output temperature don’t change

Explanation:

The heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a body, by 1 degree. On the other hand, the specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a of unit mass of a material by 1 degree.

Heat capacity is an extensive property meaning its value depends on the amount of material. Specific heat capacity is found by dividing heat capacity by the mass of the sample, thus making it independent of the amount (intensive property). So if the specific heat capacity increases and the mass of the sample remains the same, the heat capacity must increase too. Because of that options c and d that say that heat capacity reamins same are INCORRECT.

On the other hand, in which has to be with options a and b both say that the heat capacity increases which is correct, but about the output temperatures what happens is that if we increase the specific heat capacity of both fluids that are involved in a process of heat exchange in the same value, the value of the output temperatures do not change so only option a is CORRECT.
