Explanation:
<em>Which of the following is not a statement of Dalton's atomic theory of matter?</em>
<em>a. Elements are made of atoms.</em> TRUE. An atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
<em>b. Atoms of a given element are identical.</em> TRUE. The only slight difference is in the mass of isotopes.
<em>c. The atoms of one element can be identical to the atoms of another element.</em> FALSE. The atoms of different elements are different from one to another.
<em>d. A given compound always has the same number and kinds of atoms. </em>TRUE. This is known as Dalton's law of constant composition.
Answer:
Explanation:
Use your other senses such as touch or smell, does it react in different temperatures, is it then visible under a microscope, does it react with different elements or gases? Think outside the box.
Answer:
The percent by mass of water in this crystal is:
Explanation:
This exercise can be easily solved using a simple rule of three where the initial weight of the hydrated crystal (6,235 g) is taken into account as 100% of the mass, and the percentage to which the mass of 4.90 g corresponds (after getting warm). First, the values and unknown variable are established:
- 6,235 g = 100%
- 4.90 g = X
And the value of the variable X is found:
- X = (4.90 g * 100%) / 6,235 g
- X = approximately 78.6%.
The calculated value is not yet the percentage of the water, since the water after heating the glass has evaporated, therefore, the remaining percentage must be taken, which can be calculated by subtraction:
- Water percentage = Total percentage - Percentage after heating.
- <u>Water percentage = 100% - 78.6% = 21.4%</u>
