They use the Scientific Method.
The Scientific Method is made up of steps scientists take to draw a conclusion
Step 1: Form a Question
Step 2: Research the Question
Step 3: Form a Hypothesis (educated guess)
Step 4: Conduct an Experiment (use quantitative and qualitative data)
Step 5: Form Your Conclusion Based on Results

This should help....

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion

DanielleElmas [232]

The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons.

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?

Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.

A tank at is filled with of chlorine pentafluoride gas and of sulfur hexafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal

Ivan

Answer:

- Mole fraction of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= 0.265

- Partial Pressure of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= 16.05 kPa

- Mole fraction of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= 0.735

- Partial Pressure of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= 44.53 kPa

Total Pressure exerted by the gases = 60.58 kPa

Explanation:

First of, we calculate the number of moles of each gas present.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar Mass)

For ClF₅

Mass = 4.28 g

Molar Mass = 130.445 g/mol

number of moles of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= (4.28/130.445) = 0.0328 moles

For SF₆

Mass = 13.3 g

Molar Mass = 146.06 g/mol

number of moles of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= (13.3/146.06) = 0.0911 moles

Total number of moles present = 0.0328 + 0.0911 = 0.1239 moles.

Using the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = total pressure in the tank = ?

V = volume of the tank = 5.00 L = 0.005 m³

R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature of the tank = 20.9°C = 294.05 K

n = total number of moles present = 0.1239 moles

P × 0.005 = (0.1239 × 8.314 × 294.05)

P = 60,580.45 Pa = 60.58 kPa.

- Mole fraction of a particular component of interest = (number of moles of the component of interest) ÷ (total number of moles)

- Partial Pressure of a particular component of interest = (mole fraction of that component of interest) × (total pressure)

This is Dalton's law of Partial Pressure.

- Mole fraction of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= (0.0328/0.1239) = 0.265

- Partial Pressure of Chlorine Pentafluoride

= 0.265 × 60.58 = 16.05 kPa

- Mole fraction of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= (0.0911/0.1239) = 0.735

- Partial Pressure of Sulfur Hexafluoride

= 0.735 × 60.58 = 44.53 kPa

Total Pressure exerted by the gases = 16.04 + 44.53 = 60.58 kPa

Hope this Helps!!!

Find percent yield:

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: The percent yield of the reaction is 91.8 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For $B_5H_9$ :

Given mass of $B_5H_9$ = 4.0 g

Molar mass of $B_5H_9$ = 63.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of }B_5H_9=\frac{4g}{63.12g/mol}=0.0634mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 10.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of oxygen gas}=\frac{10g}{32g/mol}=0.3125mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of $B_5H_9$ and oxygen gas follows:

$2B_5H_9+12O_2\rightarrow 5B_2O_3+9H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

12 moles of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of $B_2H_5$

So, 0.3125 moles of oxygen gas will react with = $\frac{2}{12}\times 0.3125=0.052mol$ of $B_2H_5$

As, given amount of $B_2H_5$ is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, oxygen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

12 moles of oxygen gas produces 5 moles of $B_2O_3$

So, 0.3125 moles of oxygen gas will produce = $\frac{5}{12}\times 0.3125=0.130moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of $B_2O_3$ from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of $B_2O_3$ = 69.93 g/mol

Moles of $B_2O_3$ = 0.130 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.130mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }B_2O_3}{69.63g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }B_2O_3=(0.130mol\times 69.63g/mol)=9.052g$

To calculate the percentage yield of $B_2O_3$ , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of $B_2O_3$ = 8.32 g

Theoretical yield of $B_2O_3$ = 9.052 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of }B_2O_3=\frac{8.32g}{9.052g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of }B_2O_3=91.8\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 91.8 %
