Dalton was a chemist who discovered the “law of multiple proportion” in chemical reaction in early nineteenth century. For example, element of tin, he observed, interacted with oxygen to produce two different masses but in proportion 1:2. (Now, this is known to correspond to the formation of tin-monoxide and tin-dioxide, with one and two atoms of oxygen, respectively.)
From such and related studies, he proposed his theory of chemical elements: (a) that all elements are composed of ‘atoms’, the hypothetical indivisible constituents of matter of the ancient Greek thinkers, like, Democritus, and (b) that the elements differ from one another due to the atoms of different masses and sizes that constitute an element.
The modern theory of chemistry says that an element consists of an atom that consists of a heavy nucleus with positively charged ‘protons’ (and most often also the neutral particles called ‘neutrons’) at its center and, an equal number of negatively charged (and much lighter) ‘electrons’, distributed around it in discrete energy shells. Further, the elements differ from one another by the number of positively charged protons in their nucleus, the so-called atomic number, Z, of an atom. Finally, molecules are formed as well as chemical reactions take place, through the exchange or transfer of the electron(s) in the outermost shells of the reacting atoms (and/or molecules).
Answer:
you can identify an unknown substance by measuring its density and comparing your results to a list of known densities. Density=mass/volume. Assume that you have to identify an unknown metal. You can determine the mass of the metal on a scale.
Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,
Explanation :
Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.
If the amount of atoms of each type on the left and right sides of a reaction differs then to balance the equation by adding coefficient in the front of the elements or molecule or compound in the chemical equation.
The coefficient tell us about that how many molecules or atoms present in the chemical equation.
The given chemical reaction is,
This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction because in this reaction number of hydrogen bromine atoms are not balanced.
In order to balance the chemical equation, the coefficient '2' put before the and we get the balanced chemical equation.
The balanced chemical reaction will be,
Answer:
It will lead to overestimation of the percent recovery
Explanation:
The percent recovery refers to the percentage of the pure compound recovered after a chemical process. It is a ratio of the pure compound recovered to the original substance multiplied by 100%.
If the sample was incompletely dried and the recrystallization solvent is still present, the percent recovery will be overestimated and we will have a value that is greater than the accurate percent recovery due to solvent impurities present.
