How many calcium atoms in Ca(ClO3)2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Serjik [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1

Explanation:

There is only one calcium atom because the subscript 3 applies only to the oxygen. Outside of the parentheses, the subscript 2 only applies to the chlorate ion. Therefore, there is only one calcium atom because there are no coefficients and subscripts. (Also drawing it out will help)

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick
White raven [17]
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>

A sample of helium gas initially at 37.0°C, 785 torr and 2.00 L was heated to 58.0°C while the volume expanded to 3.24 L. What i
spayn [35]

Answer:

0.681 atm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we make use of the General gas equation.

Given:

P1 = 785 torr

V1 = 2L

T1 = 37= 37 + 273.15 = 310.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 3.24L

T2 = 58 = 58+273.15 = 331.15K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Now, making P2 the subject of the formula,

P2 = P1V1T2/T1V2

P2 = [785 * 2 * 331.15]/[310.15 * 3.24]

P2 = 515.715 Torr

We convert this to atm: 1 torr = 0.00132 atm

515.715 Torr = 515.715 * 0.00132 = 0.681 atm

A 100.0 mL solution containing 0.864 g of maleic acid (MW=116.072 g/mol) is titrated with 0.276 M KOH. Calculate the pH of the s
Lilit [14]

Answer:

pH = 1.32

Explanation:

                 H₂M + KOH ------------------------ HM⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

This problem involves a weak diprotic acid which we can solve by realizing they amount  to buffer solutions.  In the first  deprotonation if all the acid is not consumed we will have an equilibrium of a wak acid and its weak conjugate base. Lets see:

So first calculate the moles reacted and produced:

n H₂M = 0.864 g/mol x 1 mol/ 116.072 g  =  0.074 mol H₂M

54 mL x  1L / 1000 mL x 0. 0.276 moles/L = 0.015 mol KOH

it is clear that the maleic acid will not be completely consumed, hence treat it as an equilibrium problem of a buffer solution.

moles H₂M left = 0.074 - 0.015 = 0.059

moles HM⁻ produced = 0.015

Using the Henderson - Hasselbach equation to solve for pH:

ph = pKₐ + log ( HM⁻/ HA) = 1.92 + log ( 0.015 / 0.059) = 1.325

Notes: In the HH equation we used the moles of the species since the volume is the same and they will cancel out in the quotient.

For polyprotic acids the second or third deprotonation contribution to the pH when there is still unreacted acid ( Maleic in this case) unreacted.

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change? (Use words reactants, products, atoms and molecules.)
jeka94

Answer:

A physical change, such as a state change or dissolving, does not create a new substance, but a chemical change does. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products.
