The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?
a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.
b. All cobalt atoms are identical.
c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.
d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.
<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).
<u>Explanation:</u>
Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
- All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
- Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
- Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
- Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
- The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
For the given options:
<u>For a:</u>
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.
This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.
The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.
Hence, the correct options are b) and c).
Answer:
3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm
Explanation:
When placed in an external electric filed, an electric dipole experiences a torque. and this torque is represented mathematically with the equation:
torque (τ) = dipole moment vector (P) x electric field vector (E)
τ = P. E . sin θ
where θ is the angle between the water molecule and the electric field, which in this case is 90° (because this is where the torque is maximum)
τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . sin90
τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . 1
solve for τ
τ = 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm
the maximum possible torque on the water molecule is therefore 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm
Answer:
20.9%
Explanation:
- The percentage by mass of solution is given by dividing the mass of solute in grams by the mass of solution in grams then multiplying it by 100%.
% Mass of solution = mass of solute/mass of solution × 100%
= (27.0 g/ 129.0 g) × 100%
= 20.93%
= 20.9%
A chemical formula identifies each constituent element by its chemical symbol and indicates the proportionate number of atoms of each element.
<em>For example, the empirical formula of ethanol may be written C2H6O because the molecules of ethanol all contain two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.</em>
The electronic configuration is for iron (Fe) because if you add all those power up it will give you 26 and it’s the atomic number of Fe
