Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that cannot be broken down by an ordinary physical process but can be split into its component elements by chemical processes such as decomposition, dissociation, displacement.

A compound is made up of two or more different atoms. A particular compound is unique/uniform in its composition and doesn't share its particular composition with another compound. For example, carbon monoxide (CO) is made up of one atom of carbon and one atom of oxygen while carbon dioxide (CO₂) is made up of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

When Niels Bohr refined the model of an atom,what new idea did he include?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Niels Bohr, refined the model of an atom by proposing a quantized shell structure atomic model in order to describe how the electrons are able to maintain stable orbits around the nucleus

Based on the predictions of classical mechanics the electron motion of the Rutherford model was unstable as the electrons where expected to have lost some energy during motion and thus having to come rest in the nucleus

According to the modification by Neils Bohr in 1913, electrons move in  shells or orbits of fixed energy and emission of electromagnetic radiation takes place only when electrons changes the orbit in which they move

If 12.5 grams of the original sample of cesium-137 remained after 90.6 years, what was the mass of the original sample?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Mass of original sample = 100 g

Explanation:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30.17 years

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{\ln2}{30.17}\ year^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.02297 year⁻¹

Time = 90.6 years

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Initial concentration [A_0] = ?

Final concentration [A_t] = 12.5 grams

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

12.5\ g=[A_0]e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}

[A_0]=\frac{12.5}{e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}}\ g=100\ g

<u>Mass of original sample = 100 g</u>

So I saw this question: If 28.0 grams of Pb(NO3)2 react with 18.0 grams of NaI, what mass of PbI2 can be produced? Pb(NO3)2 + Na
Nataly_w [17]

mass of PbI₂ = 27.6606 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Pb(NO₃)₂ + NaI → PbI₂ + NaNO₃

28.0 grams of Pb(NO₃)₂ react with 18.0 grams of NaI

Required

mass of PbI₂

Solution

Balanced equation

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaI → PbI₂ + 2NaNO₃

The principle of a balanced reaction is the number of atoms in the reactants = the number of atoms in the product

mol Pb(NO₃)₂ :

= 28 : 331,2 g/mol

= 0.0845

mol NaI :

= 18 : 149,89 g/mol

= 0.12

Limiting reactant : mol : coefficient

Pb(NO₃)₂ : 0.0845 : 1 = 0.0845

NaI : 0.12 : 2 = 0.06

NaI limiting reactant (smaller ratio)

mol PbI₂ based on NaI

= 1/2 x 0.12 = 0.06

Mass PbI₂ :

= 0.06 x 461,01 g/mol

= 27.6606 g
