Explain the difference between a physical property and a chemical property

Chemistry

Physical property-  is an aspect of matter that can be observed or measured without touching changing it.

Chemical property- may only be observed by changing the chemical identity of a substance.

The difference would be that for physical property's you dont need to do anything to figure out what they are, but for chemical properties you need to change something to observe them.

Compare the de Broglie wavelength of an alpha particle moving at 3.40×107 miles per hour (1.52×107 m/s) to that of a baseball mo
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1.74 x 10⁻²⁰(baseball) : 1.90 x 10⁴ (electron) : 1 (alpha particle)

baseball not detected

electron x ray

alpha particle beyond gama rays

Explanation:

The strategy for us here is to utilize deBroglie relation of wavelength and momentum:

λ = h/ mv

where  λ is wavelength,  h isPlanck´s constant, m is the mass of the particle, and v its velocity.

For determining the regions of spectrum the wavelengths fall into, we need to consult charts that describe the wavelengths vs region.

So  using the above  equation we will compute the wavelengths for the alpha particle, baseball,  and an electron.

Notice we are missing the masses of the alpha particle, and that of the electron, and baseball

The mass of the alpha particle is 4 times  amu  (4 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ Kg ) since the alpha particle is esentially a helium nucleus which has atomic number 4.

The mass of the electron is 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg.

Mass of baseball per rules around 0.145 kg.

Notice we are working in the metric system, so use the velocities in m/s.

Now that we have all the data required, lets proceed to calculate the respective wavelengths.

λ ( alpha particle ) = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / ( 4 x 1.66 x 10⁻²⁷ kg x 1.52 x 10⁷ m/s )

= 6.57 x 10⁻¹⁵ m

λ ( baseball ) = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / ( 0.145 kg  x 40.2 m/s ) = 1.14 x 10⁻³⁴ m

λ ( electron ) = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J·s / ( 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg x 5.81 x 10⁶ m/s )

= 1.25 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Comparing the wavelengths from largest to smallest we have:

λ ( baseball) : λ ( electron )   : λ ( alpha particle )

1.14 x 10⁻³⁴  : 1.25 x 10⁻¹⁰ :  6.57 x 10⁻¹⁵

1.74 x 10⁻²⁰(baseball) : 1.90 x 10⁴ (electron) : 1 (alpha particle)

We can see the wavelength  of the baseball is very, very small compared to that of an electron and an alpha particle. For this small wavelength  we are not going to see effects such as diffraction or interference.This is the reason that for everyday macroscopic objects we do not talk about its associated wavelength. The wavelength can only be appreciated in  very small microscopic particles as exemplified for the cases of the electron and alpha particle in this question.

The wavelength of the baseball cannot be detected so a placement in the electromagnetic spectrum is undefined.

The wavelength of the electron in this question will fall into the x ray region of the spectrum (   region  around 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻¹² ) and the alpha particle will fall beyond the gamma rays ( that is wavelength shorter than 10⁻¹² m ).

How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted?
steposvetlana [31]
A non-sandblasted rock could be rough or smooth depending on how it was formed.

A sandblasted rock should be much smoother, since the sand blasts away any rough edges. It will, however, be slightly smaller due to losing those edges.

Why all compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

A molecule is formed when two or more atoms join together chemically. A compound is a molecule that contains at least two different elements. All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. are not compounds because each is composed of a single element.
