This fixed percent is called the definite proportion. Specifically, this phenomenon is states in the Law of Definite Proportions. According to John Dalton, all the individual elements making up the compound has a fixed ratio, whether in mass or in moles. For example, for any amount of H₂O, there will always be a fixed proportion of 2 H atoms: 1 O atom.

Answer:

Law of definite proportion

Explanation:

A compound is a substance which is composed of two or more elements. According to the law of definite proportion, a compound is made up of element in definite and fixed ratio (by mass) therefore elements in compounds comprises of fixed percent. This law was given by English chemist john Dalton in 1808.

Given the reaction: cu(s) + 4hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) + 2no3(g) + 2h2o(l )as the reaction occurs, what happens to copper?

katrin [286]

From the reaction between Cu and HNO₃, the formed gas is NO₂ instead of NO₃. Hence the correct balanced equation would be,
Cu(s) + 4HNO₃(aq) → Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO₂(g) + 2H₂O<span>(l)

Here, Cu goes to </span>Cu(NO₃)₂ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while NO₃⁻ goes to NO₂ by reducing its oxidation state from +5 to +4 . Hence Cu is oxidized by HNO₃ in the reaction.

How many atoms are in 1.00 moles of He

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.00 mole of He have $6,02x10^{23}$ atoms.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is important to know the definition of Avogadro's number

Avogadro's number is the proportional factor that relates the molar mass of a substance to the number of elementary units (atoms, molecules, particles, ions, electrons) that constitute it and its magnitude is equal to 6.022 140 857 × 10²³

One mole of helium we have $6,02x10^{23}$ atoms.
