The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?
a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.
b. All cobalt atoms are identical.
c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.
d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).
<u>Explanation:</u>
Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
- All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
- Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
- Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
- The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
For the given options:
<u>For a:</u>
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.
Hence, the correct options are b) and c).
Answer:
131 atm
Explanation:
To find the new pressure, you need to use Boyle's Law:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
In this equation, "P₁" and "V₁" represent the initial pressure and volume. "P₂" and "V₂" represent the final pressure and volume. You can find the new pressure (P₂) by plugging the given values into equation and simplifying.
P₁ = 3.88 atm P₂ = ? atm
V₁ = 7.74 L V₂ = 0.23 L
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ <----- Boyle's Law
(3.88 atm)(7.74 L) = P₂(0.23 L) <----- Insert values
30.0312 = P₂(0.23 L) <----- Simplify left side
131 = P₂ <----- Divide both sides by 0.23
Answer:
1.26 × 10^-8 M
Explanation:
We are given;
Number of moles of mercury (i) chloride as 0.000126 μmol
Volume is 100 mL
We are required to calculate the concentration of the solution.
We need to know that;
Concentration is also known as molarity is given by;
Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume
Number of moles = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles
Volume = 0.01 L
Therefore;
Concentration = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles ÷ 0.01 L
= 1.26 × 10^-8 M
Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.26 × 10^-8 M
Their atomic number increases
From a Chemistry perspective it is the electron at 1/1800th the mass of a proton or neutron.
