Chemistry
1 answer:
aev [14]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

The word atom is coined from ancient greek word atomos and it means uncuttable.

Democritus coined the word and he believed that an atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any matter.

He suggested that all matter is made up of atom and atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces.

This is not accurate today because we know that atoms contains very small particle of proton, neutrons and electrons.

Atoms are divisible and can be changed another by nuclear reaction.

Compare the intermolecular forces, dipole-dipole and hydrogen-bonding. What would you suggest is the biggest different between t
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Both the dipole-dipole and hydrogen are essentially same because they result form formation of partial negative and positive charges on the atoms constituting a given molecule. in such molecule, one atom is more electronegative than the other and therefore pulls the shared electrons more to itself than the other atom. the atom that pulls a pair of electrons more to itself becomes partially negatively charged whereas the other atom becomes partially positively charge. the weak negative charges on one molecule attracts weak positive charge on the other molecule creating intermolecular forces referred to as dipole-dipole bonds. Hydrogen bonds form in the same manner they are stronger than typical dipole-dipole bonds. so according to the explanation above  D is the correct answer.

How many grams of a solution that is 5.2% sucrose by mass are needed to obtain 18g of sucrose
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

346.g of solution

Explanation:

In this case, if we have 5.2 % by mass it means that in <u>100 g of the solution we will have 5.2 g of glucose</u>. Therefore we can do the calculation:

<u>5.2 g of glucose = 100 g of solution</u>

18~g~of~glucose\frac{100~g~of~solution}{5.2~g~of~glucose}=346.15~g~of~solution

So, if we need 8 g of glucose we had to have 346.15 g of solution

This logic can work for all types of solutions. By mass (as in this case), by volume or mass/volume.

I hope it helps!
