Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms
BaLLatris [955]
Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

In a chemical reaction, molecules of hydrogen gas (H2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O2) in a sealed reaction chamber to p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that the molecules of hydrogen gas (H_2) react with molecules of oxygen gas (O_2) in a sealed reaction chamber to produce water (H_2O).

The governing equation for the reaction is

2H_2 +O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

From the given, the only fact that can be observed that 2 moles of H_2 and 1 mole of O_2 reacts to produce 2 moles of H_2O.

As the mass of 1 mole of H_2 = 2 grams ... (i)

The mass of 1 mole of O_2 = 32 grams ...(ii)

The mass of 1 mole of H_2O = 18 grams (iii)

Now, the mass of the reactant = Mass of 2 moles of H_2 + mass 1 mole of  O_2

= 2 \times 2 + 32  [ using equations (i) and (ii)]

=4+32 = 36 grams.

Mass of the product = Mass of 2 moles of H_2O

=2\times 18 [ using equations (iii)]

=36 grams

As the mass of reactants = mass of the product.

So, mass is conserved.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

What happens to the movement of particles in a liquid when it is heated?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
