Why do scientists use models, and why do all models have limitations???

Chemistry
2 answers:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago

Answer:

Since models are simpler than real objects or systems, they have limitations. ... It may not predict the behavior of the real system very accurately. But the more computing power that goes into the model and the care with which the scientists construct the model can increase the chances that a model will be accurate.

Answer:

Scientists use  models to represent data/evidence. However, all models have limitations. However, models are simplified versions of reality, and can't be totally accurate in representation.

Hope this helps :)

Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures: CO(g) + Cl2
lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Concentration of CO = 0.328 M

Concentration of Cl_2 = 0.328 M

Concentration of COCl_2 = 0.532 M

Explanation:

Moles of  CO and Cl_2 = 0.430 mole

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Initial concentration of CO and Cl_2  =\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.430}{0.500}=0.860M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)

Initial conc.          0.860M     0.860M           0

At eqm. conc.    (0.860-x) M  (0.860-x) M     (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

4.95=\frac{x}{(0.860-x)^2}

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x =  0.532 M

Thus, the concentrations of CO,Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2 at equilibrium are :

Concentration of CO = (0.860-x) M =(0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of Cl_2 =  (0.860-x) M  =  (0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of COCl_2 = x M = 0.532 M

A 76.0-gram piece of metal at 96.0 °C is placed in 120.0 g of water in a calorimeter at 24.5 °C. The final temperature in the ca
Phoenix [80]

The specific heat capacity of the metal given the data from the question is 0.66 J/gºC

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Mass of metal (M) = 76 g
  • Temperature of metal (T) = 96 °C
  • Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 120 g
  • Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 24.5 °C
  • Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 31 °C
  • Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
  • Specific heat capacity of metal (C) =?

<h3>How to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>

The specific heat capacity of the sample of the metal can be obtained as follow:

Heat loss = Heat gain

MC(M –Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)

76 × C × (96 – 31) = 120 × 4.184 × (31 – 24.5)

C × 4940 = 3263.52

Divide both side by 4940

C = 3263.52 / 4940

C = 0.66 J/gºC

Which formula represents a saturated hydrocarbon
GenaCL600 [577]
Saturated hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms. They are known to be the simplest organic compounds. They are termed as such because they are saturated with water. Examples are the alkanes (ethane, methane, propane, butane, etc.).

Solid aluminum and gaseous oxygen read in a combination reaction to produce aluminum oxide. 4Al(s) + 3O_2(g) rightarrow 2Al_2O_3
Kryger [21]

Answer:

4.7 g. Option 5 is the right one.

Explanation:

4Al(s) + 3O₂ (g) ⇄ 2Al₂O₃ (s)

We convert the mass of reactants to moles, in order to determine the limiting.

2.5 g Al / 26.98 g/mol → 0.092 moles of Al

2.5 g O₂ / 32g/mol → 0.078 moles of O₂

Ratio is 4:3. 4 moles of Al react with 3 moles of O₂

Then, 0.092 moles of O₂ would react with (0.092 . 3)/ 4 = 0.069 moles O₂

We have 0.078 moles of O₂ and we need 0.069 moles, the oxygen is the limiting in excess. Therefore the Al is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 4:2. 4 moles of Al, can produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃

Then, 0.092 moles of Al would produce (0.092 .2) / 4 = 0.046 moles

If we convert the moles to mass, we find the anwer:

0.046 mol . 101.96 g/mol = 4.69 g
