Why do you think that scientists in the 20th century thought that it was important to “unlock” the structures of the atom?

Answer:

The 20th century saw huge advances in our understanding and use of the nucleus. For instance, in 1939 scientists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch discovered nuclear fission – a process by which radioactive materials release energy when they are induced to split.

Realising the huge amount of energy that such a reaction produces, scientists were tasked with developing this new knowledge initially for harm in nuclear weapons. Just six years after fission’s discovery, it was harnessed in the atom bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and controversially ended the Second World War. Later, much more powerful hydrogen bombs were developed that combined fission with the process powering the Sun – fusion.

Using the van der Waals equation, the pressure in a 22.4 L vessel containing 1.00 mol of neon gas at 100 °C is ________ atm. (a
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is        P = 1.357 atm

Explanation:

Data

Volume = 22.4 L

1 mol

temperature = 100°C

a = 0.211 L² atm

b = 0.0171 L/mol

R = 0.082 atmL/mol°K

Convert temperature to °K

Temperature = 100 + 273

                      = 373°K

Formula

               (P + \frac{a}{v^{2}} )(v - b) = RT

Substitution

               (P + \frac{0.211}{22.4})(22.4 - 0.0171) = (0.082)(373)

Simplify

               (P + 0.0094)(22.3829) = 30.586

Solve for P

                           P + 0.0094 = \frac{30.586}{22.3829}

                           P + 0.0094 = 1.366

                                 P = 1.336 - 0.0094

                                P = 1.357 atm

Katena32 [7]

The AP Biology teacher is measuring out 638.0 g of dextrose (C6H12O6) for a lab the moles of dextrose is this equivalent to is 3.6888 moles.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is described as 6.02214076 × 1023 of a few chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a handy unit to apply due to the tremendous variety of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

To calculate molar equivalents for every reagent, divide the moles of that reagent through the moles of the restricting reagent. The calculation is follows:

  • 655/12 x 6 + 12+ 16 x 6
  • = 655/ 180 = 3.6888 moles.
