What did Robert Millikan discover

Chemistry
2 answers:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
7 0

Millikan discovered the charge of an electron for which he received the Noble Prize. He designed the Oil Drop experiment. He found that charge is quantized.

Millikan repeated the experiment with varying strength of xrays and found the charge on the oil drop to be a multiple of -1.6 x 10-19 C. He concluded that the smallest unit of charge is -1.6 x 10-19 C , which is the charge of one electron.

Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. J. J. Thomson had already discovered the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron.

What is the pH of 0.000134 M solution of HCI?
mafiozo [28]

Answer: The pH will be 3.87

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^{-}

According to stoichiometry,

1 mole of HCl gives 1 mole of H^+

Thus 0.000134 moles of HCl gives =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.000134=0.0001342 moles of H^+

Putting in the values:

pH=-\log[0.000134]

pH=3.87

Thus the pH will be 3.87

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa

An atom has radius of 227 pm and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic unit cell. What is the volume of the unit cell
sdas [7]

We will see that the volume of the unit cell is 144,070,699.06 pm^3

<h3>How to get the volume of a body-centered cubic unit cell?</h3>

In a body-centered cubic unit cell, the side length of the cube is given as:

S = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3} } *R

Where R is the radius of the atom.

And the volume of a cube is the side length cubed, then we can see that the volume of our cube will be:

V = S^3 = (\frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }*227pm)^3

Solving that we get:

V  = (\frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }*227pm)^3 = 144,070,699.06pm^3

This is the approximated volume of the unit cell.
