Answer:

The correct answer is - tin.

Explanation:

Tin is the element that is mixed with copper to make bronze as bronze has many unique properties such as crisp sound quality and hardness. The hardness of the bronze allows them to make a good quality sound is come by adding tin to copper restricts the free flow of electrons of the copper atoms.

The pure metals have molecules present in an orderly manner and allow the electrons to free flow. This is why bell makers use bronze as it does not allow electrons to move freely which makes it hard and makes a good sound.

Which statement about Fe is supported by the modern atomic theory but not John Dalton’s theory?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

One of the claims of John Dalton's atomic theory is that atom is the smallest unit of matter (which suggests that there are no particles smaller than an atom in any matter). This claim has been disproved by the modern atomic theory which established that there are particles smaller than atom (called subatomic particles). These particles are electrons, protons and neutrons.

One of the modern atomic theory was by Neils Bohr, who proposed that <u>electrons move in circular orbits around the central nucleus</u>. Thus, the electrons of iron can also be said to be present in a region of space (circular path) around the nucleus. This proves that option B is the correct option as John Dalton's theory did not even recognize the electron(s) nor the nucleus.

Mixture of 120 grams of KClO3 and 300 grams of water until all of the KClO3 has dissolved. At what temperature does this occur?

lozanna [386]

240°C is required to dissolve 120 grams of KClO₃ in 300 g of water.

Explanation:

As per the solubility curve graph of different salts dissolved in 100 g of water, it can be noted that the KClO₃ gets saturated at 100 °C with the solubility of 59 g in it. But here the water is taken as 300 g and the salt is taken as 120 g. The graph shows the solubility of grams of salt in 100 g of water.

So, then we have to find what is the gram of salt present in 100 g of water for the present sample.

300 g of water contains 120 grams of salt.

Then, 1 g of water will contain $\frac{120}{300}$ g of salt.

Then, 100 g of water will contain $\frac{120}{300}*100$ of salt. This means, 100 g of water will contain 40 g of salt in it.

Then, if we check the graph, the corresponding x-axis point on the curve for the y-axis value of 40 g will give us the temperature required to dissolve the salt in water. So 80°C will be required to dissolve 40 g of salt in 100 g of water.

Then, in order to get the temperature required to dissolve 120 g in 300 g of water, multiply the temperature by 3, which will give the result as 80×3=240 °C.

So, 240°C is required to dissolve 120 grams of KClO₃ in 300 g of water.
