2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zns(s) + 2SO3(g)

the above given equation is unbalanced as it contains 4 moles of sulphur in the output but in the input there are only two aoms of sulphur so to balance the equation we will write the equation as given under

balanced equation is

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zn(s) + 2SO3(g)

In words:

When 2 moles of solid zinc sulfide reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas gives 2 moles of solid zinc and 2 moles of sulphur trioxide gas.

Which of the following scientists made an important contribution to quantum mechanics: (i) Bohr (ii) deBroglie (iii) Heisenberg

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(i) Bohr; (ii) de Broglie; (iii) Heisenberg (v) Schrödinger

Explanation:

(i) Niels Bohr — 1913 — proposed that electrons travel in fixed orbits with <em>quantized energy levels</em> and that they jump from one energy level to another by absorbing or emitting quanta of light.

(ii) <em>Louis de Broglie</em> — 1924 — proposed the wave nature of electrons and suggested that all matter behaves as both waves and particles (<em>wave-particle duality</em>).

(iii) Werner Heisenberg — 1927 — formulated quantum mechanics in terms of matrices and proposed his famous <em>uncertainty principle</em>.

(v) Erwin Schrödinger — 1926 — applied wave mechanics to the electron in a hydrogen atom, showing that electrons exist in <em>orbitals </em>rather that orbits.

(iv) <em>Ernest Rutherford</em> — 1911 — proposed that atoms have most of their mass in a central nucleus (<em>nuclear atom</em>). Quantum mechanics had not yet been invented.

A student increases the temperature of a 200^3 cm balloon from 60°C to 120°C. What will the new volume of the balloon be? (Be ca

Darina [25.2K]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume V1 = 200cm³

Initial temperature = 60°C

Final temperature = 120°C

Unknown:

Final volume = ?

Solution:

According to Charles law, at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to temperature.

mathematically;

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

1 and 2 are the initial and final states

V is the volume and T is the temperature

convert the temperature to kelvin

T1 = 60 + 273 = 333K

T2 = 120 + 273 = 393K

Input the parameters;

$\frac{200}{333} = \frac{V_{2} }{393}$

final volume is 236cm³

A compound is made up of 28 g N, 24 g C, 48 g O, and 8 g H .What is the empirical formula?

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

$\rm C_2H_8N_2O_3$ .

Explanation:

<h3>Step One: calculate the coefficients. </h3>

Look up the relative atomic mass of these four elements on a modern periodic table:

$\rm C$ : approximately $12$ .
$\rm H$ : approximately $1$ .
$\rm N$ : approximately $14$ .
$\rm O$ : approximately $16$ .

The relative atomic mass of an element is numerically equal to the mass (in grams, $\rm g$ ,) of one mole of atoms of this element.

For example, the relative atomic mass of $\rm C$ is approximately $12$ . Therefore, each mole of $\rm C\!$ atoms would have a mass of $12\; \rm g$ .

This sample contains $24\; \rm g$ of carbon. That would correspond to approximately $\displaystyle \left(\frac{24}{12}\right)\; \rm mol = 2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm C$ atoms.

Similarly, for the other three elements:

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H}) \approx \frac{8\; \rm g}{1\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} = 8\; \rm mol$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{N}) \approx \frac{28\; \rm g}{14\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} = 2\; \rm mol$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{O}) \approx \frac{48\; \rm g}{16\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} = 3\; \rm mol$ .

Hence, the ratio between these elements in this compound would be:

$n(\mathrm{C}): n(\mathrm{H}): n(\mathrm{N}):n(\mathrm{O}) = 2: 8 : 2 : 3$ .

In the empirical formula of a compound, the coefficients should represent the smallest possible integer ratio between the number of atoms of these elements.

$n(\mathrm{C}): n(\mathrm{H}): n(\mathrm{N}):n(\mathrm{O}) = 2: 8 : 2 : 3$ is indeed the smallest possible integer ratio between the number of atoms of these elements.

<h3>Step Two: arrange the elements in an appropriate order</h3>

Apply the Hill System to arrange these four elements in the empirical formula. In the Hill System:

If carbon, $\rm C$ , is present in this compound, then:

$\rm C$ (carbon) and then $\rm H$ (hydrogen) will be the first two elements listed in the formula (ignore the hydrogen if it is not in the compound.)
The other elements in this compound will be listed in alphabetical order.

If there is no carbon $\rm C$ in this compound, then list all the elements in this compound in alphabetical order.

Both $\rm C$ (carbon) and $\rm H$ (hydrogen) are found in this compound. Therefore, the first element in the list would be $\rm C\!$ . The second would be $\rm H\!$ , followed by $\rm N\!$ and then $\rm O\!$ .

Hence, the empirical formula of this compound would be $\rm C_2H_8N_2O_3$ .
