In Millikan’s experiment, the oil droplets acquire one or more negative charges by combining with the negative charges that are

produced from the ionization of air by X rays. By measuring the charges on the oil droplets, he calculated the charge on a single electron as −1.60×10−19 C. The charge on any negatively charged oil droplet is always a whole-number multiple of the fundamental charge of a single electron.If Millikan was measuring the charge on an oil droplet with 4 negatively charged electrons on it, what charge would he have measured on the droplet?

Answer:

-6.4x10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

The elementary charge of one electron is -1.60x10⁻¹⁹C, so each electron has its charge, and a sample with more than one electrons will have a multiple of its charge, which is proportional to the number of electrons. So, if the oil droplet had 4 electrons, thus the charge will be four times the elementary charge:

4*(-1.60x10⁻¹⁹) C = -6.4x10⁻¹⁹ C

At a particular temperature, 12.0 moles of so3 is placed into a 3.0-l rigid container, and the so3 dissociates by the reaction 2
saul85 [17]
            2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I             12             0          0
C           -2x           +2x      +x
---------------------------------------------
E         12-2x          2x         x

Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5

The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]² 
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.

K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>

Use the balanced equation from number four above to determine the limiting reactant if we had a mixture of 5.0 moles of Fe and 4
Tom [10]

Answer:

2Fe + 3O₂  →  2Fe₂O₃

Limiting reactant: O₂

2Fe + O₂ → 2FeO

Limiting reactant: Fe

Explanation:

2Fe + 3O₂  →  2Fe₂O₃

2Fe + O₂ → 2FeO

These are the possible reactions:

In first case, 2 moles of Fe need 3 mol of oyxgen to react

If I have 5 moles of Fe, I will need (5 .3)/2 = 7.5 moles of O₂

Then, the oxygen is my limiting ( I only have 4 moles)

3 moles of O₂ need 2 moles of Fe

If I have 4 moles of O₂, I will need (4 .2)/3 = 2.66 moles (I have 5)

Fe, is the reactant in excess.

For second case, 2 moles of Fe need 1 mol of O₂, to react.

If I have 5 moles of Fe, I will need ( 5 .1) / 2 =2.5 moles of O₂

I have 4 moles of oxygen, so now it is my excess.

1 mol of O₂ need 2 moles of Fe, to react

If I have 4 moles of O₂, I will need the double of amount, 8 moles of Fe.

I have 5 moles, then the Fe is my limtiing reactant.

Students experiment with the flow of
OleMash [197]
Rubber is not very good at conducting electricity. This is because rubber makes it difficult for electrons to flow between atoms, due to rubber having tightly packed electrons. Materials like rubber are known as insulators.
Conductors are the opposite, they conduct electricity very well. Examples of conductors are metal, which is why metal is used in wires.
Since rubber is not a conductor, answer choice B can be eliminated. This can also eliminate answer choice D, since insulators like rubber don't allow electricity to easily flow.
While rubber gloves keep our hands dry, there are no liquids involved in this experiment and this is not the main reason for using rubber gloves. This eliminates answer choice C.

The answer is A. rubber gloves are insulators.
The teacher instructs the students to wear rubber gloves to prevent them from getting an electric shock.

Answer:
A. rubber gloves are insulators

Hope this helps!
