Why was Dalton's theory of the atom incorrect?
A. Dalton theorized that atoms were indivisible but they are actually made of smaller parts.
B. Dalton theorized that had negative charges spread throughout them but they are actually in electron shells.
C. Dalton' theory was correct.
D. Dalton theorized that atoms were too small to see but they are not.

Answers

Answer:

Answer is A.

Explanation:

The indivisibility of an atom was proved wrong: an atom can be further subdivided into protons, neutrons and electrons. According to Dalton, the atoms of same element are similar in all respects. However, atoms of some elements vary in their masses and densities. These atoms of different masses are called isotopes. :)

A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is −0.3 kJ/K. Assuming the ideal gas model for the gas and negligible kinetic and potential energy effects, evaluate the work, in kJ.

Answers

Answer:

W = -120 KJ

Explanation:

Since the piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process, then the temperature is constant.

Thus; T1 = T2 = 400K

change in entropy; ΔS = −0.3 kJ/K

Formula for change in entropy is written as;

ΔS = Q/T

Where Q is amount of heat transferred.

Thus;

Q = ΔS × T

Q = -0.3 × 400

Q = -120 KJ

From the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the workdone from;

Q = ΔU + W

Where;

ΔU is Change in the internal energy

W = Work done

Now, since it's an ideal gas model, the change in internal energy is expressed as;

ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT

Where;

m is mass

C_v is heat capacity at constant volume

ΔT is change in temperature

Now, since it's an isothermal process where temperature is constant, then;

ΔT = T2 - T1 = 0

Thus;

ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT = 0

ΔU = 0

From earlier;

Q = ΔU + W

Thus;

-120 = 0+ W

W = -120 KJ

Tapeworm and Roundworn​

Explanation:

Answer:

A physical change is a change to the physical—as opposed to chemical—properties of a substance. They are usually reversible. The physical properties of a substance include such characteristics as shape, color, texture, flexibility, density, and mass.

A chemical change happens when one chemical substance is transformed into one or more different substances, such as when iron becomes rust.

Determine what product will be produced at the negative electrode for the following reaction:

A. H2
B. Cl2
с. КОН
D. K

Answers

Answer:

Choice A. [tex]\rm H_{2}[/tex] would be produced at the negative electrode.

Explanation:

Ionic equation for this reaction:

[tex]2\, {\rm K^{+}} + 2\, {\rm Cl^{-}} + {2\, \rm H_{2} O} \to {\rm H_{2}} + {\rm Cl_{2}} + 2\, {\rm K^{+}} + {\rm 2\, OH^{-}}[/tex].

Net ionic equation:

[tex]2\, {\rm Cl^{-}} + 2\, \rm H_{2} O} \to {\rm H_{2}} + {\rm Cl_{2}} + 2\, {\rm OH^{-}}[/tex].

Half-equations:

[tex]2\, {\rm Cl^{-}} \to {\rm Cl_{2}} + 2\, {e^{-}}[/tex].

(Electrons travel from the solution to an electrode.)

[tex]2\, {\rm \overset{+1}{H}_{2} O} + 2\, {e^{-}} \to \overset{0}{\rm H}_{2} + 2\, {\rm O\overset{+1}{H}\!^{-}}[/tex].

(An electrode supply electrons to the solution to reduce some of the [tex]\rm H[/tex] atoms from [tex]\rm H_{2}O[/tex].)

In a DC circuit, electrons always enter the circuit from the negative terminal of the power supply and return to the power supply at the positive terminal.

The negative electrode is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. Electrons from the power supply would flow into the solution through this electrode.  

This continuous supply of electrons at the negative electrode would drive a reduction half-reaction. In this question, that corresponds to the reduction of water: [tex]2\, {\rm \overset{+1}{H}_{2} O} + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to \overset{0}{\rm H}_{2} + 2\, {\rm O\overset{+1}{H}\!^{-}}[/tex]. Hence, [tex]\rm H_{2}[/tex] would be produced at the negative electrode.

Explanation:

Given that;

Co^2+(aq) + 2e ---->Co(s) -0.28 V

Pb^2+(aq) + 2e ---->Pb(s). -0.13 V

Hence Co is the anode and Pb is the cathode

E°cell = E°cathode - E°anode

So;

E°cell = -0.13 V - (-0.28 V)

E°cell = 0.15 V

The cell reaction is spontaneous since E°cell is positive.

Is a 4p S 4s transition allowed in sodium? If so, what is its wavelength? If not, why not? b. Is a 3d S 4s transition allowed in sodium? If so, what is its wavelength? If not, why not? g

Answers

Answer:

a) 4p ⇒ 4s  transition is Allowed

b) 3d ⇒ 4s transition not allowed

Explanation:

a) 4p ⇒ 4s  transition

This transition is allowed because for a 4p state; l = 1 and for a 4s state I = 0

hence Δl = 1 - 0 = 1

Energy of 4p ( Ei ) = 3.75eV

Energy of 4s ( E2 ) = 3.19 eV

where : λ = 1240 eV nm / ( E₂ - E₁ )

                = 2214 nm ≈ 2.214 μm

b) 3d ⇒ 4s transition

This transition is not allowed  

a 3d state , l = 2 while for 4s state l = 0

hence Δl = 2 - 0 = 2

therefore the transition is not allowed

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We have to bear in mind that the acid is a weak acid. A weak acid does not dissociate completely in solution. We will have more concentration of undissociated acid than A^- and H3O^+ and OH^- in the system at equilibrium.

Being a weak acid, there is maximum concentration of water molecules followed by that of undissiociated acid.

Hence, for this solution, the concentration of ions in solution follows the order;

[H2O] > [HA] > [A-] ~ [H3O ] > [OH-]

What are cations and pH?

Cations are the positive charge containing molecules and atoms that have more protons in their nucleus than the number of electrons in their shells. They are formed when they lose one or more electrons to another atom.

The addition or release of the electrons of the cations and anions affects the pH system as absorption of the cation decreases the pH and absorption of the anions increases the pH.

Hence, [tex]\rm Al^{3+}[/tex], [tex]\rm Mg^{2+}[/tex] and [tex]\rm NH^{2+}[/tex] are the cation that should be investigated. The addition of the cations will reduce the pH of the reaction.

Therefore, absorption of the cation reduces the pH.

Kc = [CH4]×[H2O] / [CO]×[H2]^3

Kc = 1.078×0.878 / (0.989×0.933^3)

Kc = 0.977

The numerical value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the given reaction is found to be 0.977.

What is Equilibrium constant?

The Equilibrium constant may be defined as the numerical value that significantly indicated the correlation between the amounts of products and reactants present at equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction at a definite temperature.

According to the question, the reaction is as follows:

[tex]CO +3H_2[/tex] ↔ [tex]CH_4+ H_2O[/tex].

The equilibrium concentrations are 0.989 M, 0.993 M, 1.078 M and 0.878 M, respectively.

Now, the equilibrium constant is calculated by the following formula:

Kc =  [CH4]×[H2O] / [CO]×[tex][H_2]^3[/tex]

             =  1.078×0.878 / (0.989×0.93[tex]3^3[/tex]).

             = 0.9464/(0.989 × 0.8121)

             =  0.977.

Therefore, the numerical value of the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the given reaction is found to be 0.977.

COO(s) + H2() Co(s) + H2O(g) K = 67

COO(s) + CO(8) = Co(s) + CO2(8) K = 490

Based on these equilibria, calculate the equilibrium con-
stant for
H2(g) + CO2(g) = CO(g) + H2O(g) at 823 K.

Answers

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is K = 0.137

We obtain the equilibrium constant considering the following equilibria and their constants:

COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g)    K₁ = 67

COO(s) + CO(g) → Co(s) + CO₂(g)   K₂ = 490

We write the first reaction in the forward direction because we need H₂(g) in the reactants side:

(1)     COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g)    K₁ = 67

Then, we write the second reaction in the reverse direction because we need CO₂(g) in the reactants side. Thus, the equilibrium constant for the reaction in the reverse direction is the reciprocal of the constant for the reaction in the forward direction (K₂):

(2)   Co(s) + CO₂(g) → COO(s) + CO(g)   K₂ = 1/490

From the addition of (1) and (2), we obtain:

COO(s) + H₂(g) → Co(s) + H₂O(g)    K₁ = 67

+

Co(s) + CO₂(g) → COO(s) + CO(g)   K₂ = 1/490

-------------------------------------------------

H₂(g) +  CO₂(g) → CO(g) + H₂O(g)

Notice that Co(s) and COO(s) are removed that appear in the same amount at both sides of the chemical equation.

Now, the equilibrium constant K for the reaction that is the sum of other two reactions is calculated as the product of the equilibrium constants, as follows:

K = K₁ x K₂ = 67 x 1/490 = 67/490 = 0.137
