How can an electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller? Both represent objects that move in a circular motion

around a central core. Exact locations within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time. Either model can be used to picture the shape of an atom.

The answer is that exact locations within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time.

An electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller in the manner that in both exact location within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time.

In both electron cloud as well as spinning airplane propeller, there is a probability of finding either but exact location can not be determined.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that an atom has protons, neutrons and electrons as subatomic particles.

Protons and neutrons are placed inside nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus.

Therefore, when a spinning airplane propeller is compared with a spinning electron then it means the propeller also moves in circular motion with a high speed.

Therefore, we cannot tell the exact location of propeller at any given moment in time.

How many atoms of phosphorus are in 4.5 grams of tetraphosphorus decoxide?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

In 4.5 grams of tetraphosphorus decoxide we have 3.85 * 10^22  phosphorus atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

tetraphosphorus decoxide = P4O10

Molar mass of P4O10 = 283.89 g/mol

Mass of P4O10 = 4.5 grams

Number of Avogadro = 6.022 * 10^23 / mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of P4O10

Moles P4O10 = mass P4O10 / molar mass P4O10

Moles P4O10 = 4.5 grams / 283.89 g/mol

Moles = 0.016 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of P

For 1 mol P4O10 we have 4 moles of phosphorus

For 0.016 moles P4O10 we have 4*0.016 = 0.064 moles P

Step 4: Calculate number of P atoms

Number of P atoms = moles P * number of Avogadro

Number of P atoms = 0.064 moles * 6.022*10^23

Number of P atoms = 3.85 * 10^22 atoms

In 4.5 grams of tetraphosphorus decoxide we have 3.85 * 10^22  phosphorus atoms

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Explanation:

The standard entropy change of a reaction has a positive value. This reaction results in an increase in entropy.

Positive entropy means the system has increased its degree of disorderness.

Why is paper chromatography used for amino acids
vivado [14]

<em>Paper chromatography is especially useful in characterizing amino acids. The different amino acids move at differing rates on the paper because of differences in their R groups.</em>

In a synthesis reaction, one reactant contains 346 J of chemical energy, and one reactant contains 153 J of chemical energy. The
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

64J of energy must have been released.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

One reactant contains 346 J of chemical energy, the other reactant contains 153 J of chemical energy.

The product contains 435 J of chemical energy.

Step 2:

Since the energy is conserved

Sum of energy of Reactants = Energy of Products

Sum of energy of Reactants = 346 J + 153 J = 499 J

The energy of the product = 435 J

435 < 499

This means energy must have been lost as heat.

Step 3: Calculate heat released

499 J - 435 J = 64 J

64J of energy must have been released.

Calculate the molecular mass or formula mass (in amu) of each of the following substances: (a) BrN3 amu (b) C2H6 amu (c) NF2 amu
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Shown below

Explanation:

a) for BrN3

80+3(14)=122amu

b) forC2H6

2(12) + 6(1) = 30amu

C) for NF2

14+2(19) = 52amu

D) Al2S3

2(27) + 3(32)= 150amu

E) for Fe(NO3)3

56 + 3 [14+3(16)] =242amu

F) Mg3N2

3(24) + 2(14)= 100amu

G) for (NH4)2CO3

2[14 +4(1)] +12 +3(16)=96amu
