Which incorrect aspect of Rutherford’s model was fixed by Bohr’s model?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Some things that were wrong with Rutherford's model were that the orbiting electrons should give off energy and eventually spiral down into the nucleus, making the atom collapse. Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. To remedy the stability problem, Bohr modified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy.

Are Molar Mass and Molecular Mass the same thing? If they are different, then why are they used interchangeably?
exis [7]

At this point there are two answers:  one says that there is no difference, except for the units;  the molecular weight (MW) is the mass of one molecule, while a molar mass is the mass of a mole (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of molecules.

While in certain contexts both statements can be shown to be true, I'm not sure these answers really provide you with the insight you're looking for.

So, we'll look at your question from a different perspective.   Take a real example, something simple like water.  Water has a nominal MW of 18 (so we'll use nominal precision for simplicity, instead of the 4-places often used for these types of calculations).

The MW of water (formula = H2O) is the weight of one atom of oxygen, which = 16 amu [8-neutrons at 1 amu each plus 8 protons at 1 amu each = 16 amu), plus two atoms of hydrogen, at 1 proton (1 amu) each.  Normal everyday hydrogen has no neutrons.  So for H2O, we have a total molecular weight of 18 amu.

From the CRC reference book we find that one amu weighs 1.66 x 10 ^--24 grams.  Multiplying the two and in keeping with the two units of precision we're working with, one molecule of water has a mass of  29.8 x 10^-24g, or [3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g] per molecule of water.

A Mole is simply Avagadro's number (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of anything... protons, baseballs, whatever.  The term Molar Mass in chemistry refers to the mass of a mole of molecules.  So in this case a molar mass of water molecules is Avagadro's number of them, the mass therefore being [6.02 x 10 ^ 23] x 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g/ molecule] =  18.0 g

Summarizing:

Molecular Weight is the weight given in amu of an atom or molecule.  For H2O, the MW is 18 amu or 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g.

Molar Weight is the weight, usually in grams of 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 measurements which happens to be equal to the MW of the molecule (or atomic wt. of the atom) , and for water is 18.0 g.

So, while MW and molar weight are related, their absolute values are magnitudes apart.

Which is the best indicator for giving a color change at the equivalence point?
agasfer [191]
There are different types of indicators for different neutralization reactions. The best indicator for giving a colour change at the equivalence point of a neutralization reaction depending on the pH range of a particular indicator and the equivalence point of the reaction. For instance, the best indicator for a neutralization reaction that involve the titration of NaOH with an acid which result in 9.00 equivalence point is phenolphtalein. This is because the equivalence point which is 9.00 is within the pH range of the indicator, which is between 8.0 to 10.1.

Application of boyle's law a 12-liter tank contains helium gas pressurized to 160 atm. part b what size tank would be needed to
son4ous [18]
<span>According to Mendeleyev-Klapeyron’s equation pV = nRT, where p = 160 atm V = 12 R -constant 0.0821 & T = 298 in Kelvin Using given data, we can determine the amount of Helium gas: n = pV/RT = (160â™12)/(0,0821â™298) = 78,48 (mol) For atmospheric pressure (1 atm) and the same amount we can calculate the volume of tank, using previous equation: V = nRT/p = (78,48â™0,0821â™298)/1 = 1920 (liters) V = 1920 liters Thus Answer is 1920 liters</span>
