If atoms are made of smaller parts such as electrons, why are atoms considered the basic unit of matter?

Firstly, atoms are also composed of protons and neutrons as well as electrons.

Now, to answer your question... Atoms are the smallest you can go while still having it be an element, hence the definition ''<span>the basic unit of a chemical element.'' It is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties of an element. However, atoms still need these charges to be atoms. Without electrons, they'd just be ions. Hope this helps.</span>

A 15.0-L vessel contains 0.50 mol CH4 with a pressure of 1.0 atm. After 0.50 mol C2H6 is added to the vessel, what is the partia
Kazeer [188]

The partial pressure of methane in the mixture of methane and ethane has been 1 atm.

Partial pressure has been the pressure exerted by a gas in the solution or mixture. The partial pressure of each gas has been the total pressure of the gaseous mixture.

The partial pressure of the gas has been dependent on the volume, temperature, and concentration of the gas.

The given methane has a partial pressure of 1 atm in the 15 L vessel. The addition of ethane results in the change in the total pressure of the mixture, as there have been additional moles of solute that contributes to the solution pressure.

However, since there has been no change in the concentration and volume of methane, the pressure exerted by methane has been the same. Thus, the partial pressure of methane has been 1 atm.

For more information about the partial pressure, refer to the link:

An unknown compound has the following chemical formula:
Softa [21]

Answer:

Formula of the compound = P_2O_5

Explanation:

Given,

No. of mole of O = 8.20 mol

No. of mole of P = 3.30 mol

Chemical formula = P_2O_x

Ratio of P and O = \frac{2}{x}

\frac{2}{x} =\frac{3.3}{8.20} \\x \times 3.3 = 8.20 \times 2\\x = \frac{8.20 \times 2}{3.3} \\x=4.9969\\ = 5

formula of the compound = P_2O_5

A certain metal M forms a soluble sulfate salt MSO, Suppose the left half cell of a galvanic cell apparatus is filled with a 3.0
bija089 [108]

Answer:

E = 0.062 V

Explanation:

(a) See the attached file for the answer

(b)

Calculating the voltage (E) using the formula;

E = - (2.303RT/nf)log Cathode/Anode

Where,

R = 8.314 J/K/mol

T = 35°C = 308 K

F- Faraday's constant = 96500 C/mol,

n = number of moles of electron = 2

Substituting, we have

E = -(2.303 * 8.314 *308/2*96500) *log (0.03/3)

   = -0.031 * -2

  = 0.062V

Therefore, the voltmeter will show a voltage of 0.062 V

If 2 acid have ph value 3 and 5 respectively, which will be more acidic? Why?​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A lower ph is always more acidic, due to the increased concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution/substance.

A ph of 3 is 100 times more acidic than a pH of 5, and this is due to the increments on the scale.
