Why is measuring the size of an atom difficult

Chemistry
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]4 years ago
5 0
<span>Atomic size is the distance from the nucleus to the valence shell where the valence electrons are located. Atomic size is difficult to measure because it has no definite boundary. The electrons surrounding the nucleus exist in an electron cloud.

If 0.500 L of a 4.00-M solution of copper nitrate, Cu(NO3)2, is diluted to a volume of 1.50 L by the addition of water, what is
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1.33 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing out the data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Volume of the stock solution (V1) = 0.5L

Molarity of the stock solution (M1) = 4M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 1.5L

Molarity of the diluted solution (M2) =.?

With the application of the dilution formula, the molarity of the diluted solution can be obtained as follow:

M1V1 = M2V2

4 x 0.5 = M2 x 1.5

Divide both side by 1.5

M2 = (4 x 0.5) / 1.5

M2 = 1.33 M

Therefore the molarity of the diluted solution is 1.33 M

All bodies of water make up a earth's
Delvig [45]

Hey there!

The answer is C, hydrosphere.

The prefix "hydro" means water.

"Sphere" relates to Earth.

The asthenosphere and lithosphere are parts of the crust and mantle of the earth.

The atmosphere is the gases that surround the planet.

Hope this helps!

How many oxygen atoms are in 1.60 g of quartz? hints?
Naily [24]
Quartz has the formula SiO2
From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of silicon = 28.0855 grams
Mass of one mole of quarts = 28.0855 + 2(16) = 60.0855 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 1.6 / 60.0855 = 0.0266 moles

Each mole of quartz contains Avogadro's number of atoms.
Therefore:
number of atoms in 1.6 g = 1.6 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.603 x 10^22 atoms

At − 12.0 ∘ C , a common temperature for household freezers, what is the maximum mass of sorbitol (C6H14O6) you can add to 2.00
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

2,347.8 grams

Explanation:

The freezing point depression Kf of water = 1.86° C / molal.

 

To still freeze at -12° C, then the molality of the solution 12/ 1.86 = 6.45 moles

 

The molecular weight of sorbitol (C6H14O6)is:

 

6 C = 6 ×12 = 72

14 H = 14 × 1 = 14

6 O = 6 × 16 = 96

...giving a total of 182

 So one mole of sorbitol has a mass of 182 grams.

 

Since there are 2 kg of water,  2 × 6.45 moles = 12.9 moles can be added to the water to get the 12° C freezing point depression. 

Therefore

grams = moles × molar mass

12.9 moles × 182 grams / mole = 2,347.8 grams of sorbitol can be added and still freeze
