Answer:

The main difference between the two models is the position of the electron in the atom.

Explanation:

Bohr model: The electrons are moved around the nucleus in circular definite paths (orbitals or shells). Also, he could not find or detect the exact position of electron.

Electron cloud model: It is supposed by Erwin Schrodinger. He showed that the emission spectra of the atom is the way to detect the probability of electron position.

Answer: The main difference is about the certainty of the location of an electron.

Explanation:

The cloud model describe an energy level as region where the likelihood of finding an electron is high.

While the Bohr model describes an energy level as the movement of electron around nucleus of an atom, using the movement of the planets around the sun as an analogy.

What is the pOH of 0.50 molar H3BO3?

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

A. 10.25

Explanation:

Pkb =4.77

So pka = 14 - pka = 9.23

$Ka =10^{-pka}$

$H_3 BO_3 (aq)+ H_2 O(l) H_2 BO_3^- (aq)+H_3 O^+ (aq)$

Initial 0.50M 0 0

Change -x +x +x

Equilibrium 0.50M-x +x +x

$Ka =\frac {((x)(x))}{(0.50M-x)}$

$5.88\times10^{-10}= \frac {x^2}{(0.50M-x)}$

(-x is neglected) so we get

$5.88\times10^{-10}\times0.50=x^2\\\\x^2=2.94\times10^{-10}$

$x=\sqrt{x^2}=1.72\times10^{-5} M=H^3 O^{+}$

$pH=-log[H^3 O^+]\\\\pH=-log[1.72\times10^{-5}]\\\\pH=4.76$

pOH = 14 - pH

= 14 - 4.76

pOH = 9.24 is the answer

Option A - 10.25 is the answer which is close to 9.24

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

organic chemistry

Explanation:

There are many branches of chemistry. Some of them are physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry.

A chemist is testing the quality of a wine produced by a vineyard. It means he will test the structure, properties, and preparation of wine. All these tests comes under organic chemistry.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "organic chemistry"

DedPeter [7]

Answer: MM = 16.55 g/mol

Explanation: Freezing point depression is a phenomena that explains why adding a solute to a solvent decreases the solvent freezing point: when a substance begins to freeze, its molecules slows down and rearrange itself forming a solid. If a solute is added, the molecules from the solvent interfere in the formation of the solid. To guarantee the transformation, the solution has to cooled down even more.

Freezing point and molality concentration is related by

$\Delta T=T_{f}_{(solvent)}-T_{f}_{(solution)}=K_{f}.m$
