What did Robert Millikan discover

Chemistry
2 answers:
Gelneren [198K]4 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 total number of atoms in a molecule of ch 3 oh?
algol13
Number of Atoms in Methanol are calculated as,

Write chemical formula of Methanol,

                                                      CH₃-OH

Find out Subscripts:
                                There is only one subscript (₃) written after Hydrogen, it means there are 3 Hydrogen atoms attached to Carbon atoms.

Add all atoms in molecule:
                                           Carbons  =   1
                                       Hydrogens  =   4
                                          Oxygens  =   1
                  Total Atoms                        ______

How many acetone molecules are in a bottle of acetone with a volume of 445 mL ? (density of acetone = 0.788 g/cm3).
Mkey [24]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 3.63x10^{24}particles

<h2>Why?</h2>

First, we need to calculate the molecular weight of the acetone (CH3COCH3)

So,

C=12.011g/mol\\O=15.99g/mol\\H=1.008g/mol

Then,

CH3COCH3=12.011+(1.008)*3+12.011+15.999+12.011+(1.008)*3=58.08g/mol

Second, we need to calculate the mass of the acetone in the bottle

We need to remember that 1cm^{3}=1mL

So,

445cm^{3}*\frac{0.788g}{cm^{3}}=350.66g

Third, we need to calculate the number of moles:

350.66g*\frac{1mol}{58.08g}=6.03moles

Fourth, we need to calculate the number of atoms:

Remember, 1 mol=6.022x10^{23}particles

Therefore,

6.03moles*\frac{6.022x10^{23}particles }{1mol}=3.63x10^{24}particles

Have a nice day!

The complete question;
Match each type of titration to its pH at the equivalence point.
Weak acid, strong base
Strong acid, strong base
Weak base, strong acid

pH less than 7
pH equal to 7
<span>pH greater than 7
</span>Answer:
weak acid, strong base - pH greater than 7
Strong acid, strong base - pH equal to 7
Weak base, strong acid - pH less than 7
Strong acids dissociate completely to give out H⁺ ions. 
Strong bases dissociate completely to give out OH⁻ ions.
When strong acids and strong bases are mixed the dissociated H⁺ and OH⁻ ions  react and neutralise each other, making the solution neutral.
Weak acids cannot completely dissociate, only a fraction of H⁺ ions are dissociated. Same applies for weak bases.
When weak acid and strong base is mixed, whilst the strong acid completely dissociates, weak base only partially dissociates. Therefore the amount of H⁺ ions is greater than OH⁻ ions, overall pH is more acidic, hence less than 7.
When strong base and weak acid are mixed, strong base completely dissociates giving OH⁻ ions and weak acid only partially dissociates, therefore amount of OH⁻ ions is greater than H⁺ ions, more basic hence pH is greater than 7.
