Which of dalton's postulates about atoms are inconsistent with later observations? do these inconsistencies mean that dalton was
Neporo4naja [7]

1)  Dalton stated that atom is matter that can not be divided, but it is proved that the atom can be divided into subatomic particles  (electrons, protons and neutrons).

2) He stated that atoms of one element can not be changed into atoms of other  elements, but now that is possible by nuclear reactions.

Today we still use his postulate: Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form stable compounds, for example H₂O.

What is the percent composition by mass of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2 (gram-formula= 164 g/mol)?
Neko [114]
To find this, we will use this formula:

Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound

So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.

Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol

When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!

95.994
-----------
164.086

When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.

So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.

How many grams of ammonia must you start with to make 900.00 l of a 0.140 m aqueous solution of nitric acid? assume all the reac
bogdanovich [222]
You need the set of reactions that goes from ammonia to nitric acid.
<span>
1) 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)-->4NO(g)+6H2O(g)

2) 2NO(g)+O2(g)-->2NO2(g)

3) 3NO2(g)+H2O(l)-->2HNO3(aq)+NO(g)

State the ratio of moles of HNO3 to NH3:

4 moles of NH3 produce 4 mole of NO,

4 moles of NO produce 4 moles of NO2

4 moles of NO2 produce 4 * (2 / 3) moles of HNO3 = 8/3 moles of HNO3.

=> (8/3) moles HNO3 : 4 moles NH3

Calculate the number of moles of HNO3 in 900.00 l of 0.140 M solution

M = n / V => n = M * V = 0.140 M * 900.00 liter = 126 moles HNO3

Use proportions:

(</span><span>8/3) moles HNO3 / 4 moles NH3 = 126 moles HNO3 / x

=> x = 126 moles HNO3 * 4 moles NH3 / (8/3 moles HNO3) = 189 moles NH3

Convert moles to grams:

molar mass NH3 = 14 g/mol + 3 * 1g/mol = 17 g/mol

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass = 189 moles * 17 g/mol = 3213 g

Answer: 3213 g.
