What new theory makes this an exciting time to study the earth?

1 answer:

3 0

In 2013, MIT biophysicist proposed a new theory that atoms can restructure themselves to dissipate more energy under the right conditions (external energy and heat)-atoms, therefore, can take on qualities we associate with life. According to his theory, this may be the basis for lifeform as we know it.

What is the hydronium ion concentration in an aqueous hydrobromic acid solution with a pH of 4.530?

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.951 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

Let's consider the acid reaction of hydrobromic acid according to Brönsted-Lowry acid-base theory.

HBr(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇒ Br⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Given the pH = 4.530, we can calculate the concentration of the hydronium ion using the following expression.

pH = -log [H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -4.530 = 2.951 × 10⁻⁵ M

II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1. London dispersion forces

2. Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2. Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ 12.006 g !!

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g
