Answer:

As it demonstrated that how the electron could orbit the nucleus without falling into it.

Explanation:

According to Bohr's model, the electrons revolve around the nucleus at a confined distance in fixed orbits. As long as the electrons move around the orbits, they neither lost nor attain any kind of energy. The jumping of electrons from one orbit to another only takes place when some kind of energy is lost or is supplied.

Hence, the atom will remain completely stable in the state comprising the smallest orbit, as there is no orbit of lower energy into which the jumping of electrons takes place. Therefore, Bohr's atomic model is superior to all the previous models, as it has demonstrated how the electrons could revolve around the nucleus without falling into it.

1) it explains about stability of an atom by including stationary state.
2) it explains tge quantization of energy.
3) it gives the concept of angular momentum of a revolving electron.

Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 9.6 g of methane is

lianna [129]

Answer:

21.6 g

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

First we convert the given masses of both reactants into moles, using their respective molar masses:

9.6 g CH₄ ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.6 mol CH₄

64.9 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 2.03 mol O₂

0.6 moles of CH₄ would react completely with (2 * 0.6) 1.2 moles of O₂. As there are more O₂ moles than required, O₂ is the reactant in excess and CH₄ is the limiting reactant.

Now we calculate how many moles of water are produced, using the number of moles of the limiting reactant:

0.6 mol CH₄ * $\frac{2molH_2O}{1molCH_4}$ = 1.2 mol H₂O

Finally we convert 1.2 moles of water into grams, using its molar mass:

1.2 mol * 18 g/mol = 21.6 g

Briefly describe how the pH of a colourless solution could be measured using a universal indicator

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Universal indicator can show us how strongly acidic or alkaline a solution is, not just that the solution is acidic or alkaline. This is measured using the pH scale , which runs from pH 0 to pH 14.
