According to the quantum mechanical model of the atom, asking, "Where is the electron?" is not nearly as helpful as asking this

B) Where are the regions of electron density?
C) Where are the regions of proton density?
D) Where are the neutrons?

The correct answer is option B. Where are the regions of electron density?

In the quantum mechanical model of the atom the exact location of an electron is unknown. But there is a probability of finding an electron in a given space. So in quantum mechanics instead of an electron we always refer to electron density, which is simply the probability of finding an electron in space.

Consider the combustion of octane (C8H18)
sesenic [268]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ --->  16CO₂  + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
 mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g

55 cm3 of gasoline are mixed with 60 cm3 of water. what is the average density of the mixture?
alexandr402 [8]
The density of gasoline is 0.7 g/cm3, and the density of water is 1 g/cm3. Thus the mass of the gasoline is 55*0.7 = 38.5g and the mass of the water is 60g.  
Combining the 55 cm3 and 60 cm3 of substances with the aforementioned masses yields a volume of 55+60 = 115cm3 and a mass of 38.5+60 = 98.5g. The density is therefore 98.5/115 = 0.86 g/m3.

What type of shape is used for a makeup mirror? why?​
sasho [114]
Parabolic and they use it because light hits your face (the focal point) and gets reflected in the mirror. The concave, or parabolic, shape of the mirror surface concentrates the light beams, intensifying light as it gets closer to the focal point! :)

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE RESISTANCE OF CONDUCTOR IF :
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

1. The length of the wire is halved.

the resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to it's length (L) as R - L. Thus doubling it's length will double it's resistance, while halving it's length would halve the resistance. Also the resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to it's cross sectional area.

2. The area of cross-section of the conductor in increased.

On increasing the area of cross-section, resistance decreases. Thus is because resistance is inversely proportional to area.

3. The temperature of the conductor is increased.

With increasing temperature, the resistance of the wire increases as collisions within the wire increases and "slow" the flow of current... Since conductors typically display an increased resistivity with temperature increase, they have a positive temperature coefficient.

Given the pH of 7. Explain how many hydroxide ions (-OH) and hydronium ions (H30+) are present in the solution.
irga5000 [103]
If the pH is 7, the solution is neutral, which means that it is an equal amount of acid and base.
