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.)

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction
Ratling [72]

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
  • It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.
  • Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄  is the limiting reactant.
  • We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

  • Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ =  no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.

We can consider a chemical to be safe if:
slamgirl [31]
We can consider a chemical to be safe if it does not contain any harmful substances such as nitrogen, harmful acids, or even excessive heat. Other chemicals such as the chemicals used in food products like, for example, citric acid, is not so harmful.
Hope this helps! :D

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K     ,     V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂
