What is an atom?

An atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter which forms an element. Every form of matter whether solid,liquid , gas consists of atoms . Each atom has a nucleus which is composed of protons and neutrons and shells in which the electrons revolve.

The protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral and hence the nucleus is positively charged. The electrons which revolve around the nucleus are negatively charged and hence the atom as a whole is neutral and stable due to presence of oppositely charged particles.

Atoms of the same element are similar as they have number of sub- atomic particles which on combination do not alter the chemical properties of the substances.

Balance the chemical equations

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1).  Ca(NO₃)₂ + KI → CaI + K(NO₃)₂

    This equation is incorrect.

    When Ca⁺⁺ reacts with I⁻, final product is CaI₂

    And when K⁺ react with NO₃⁻, final product is KNO₃

    Hence the equation will be,

    Ca(NO₃)₂ + KI → CaI₂ + KNO₃

    Now we have to balance this equation.

     Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2KI → CaI₂ + KNO₃

                          ↓

     Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2KI → CaI₂ + 2KNO₃

2). Ca(NO₃)₂ + KOH → CaOH + K(NO₃)₂

    This equation is incorrect,

    Since the reaction of Ca⁺⁺ with OH⁻ gives the final product     Ca(OH)₂

    And final product of K⁺ and NO₃⁻ is KNO₃

    Therefore, the equation will be,

    Ca(NO₃)₂ + KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + KNO₃

    Now we will balance this equation by changing the coefficients of the      molecules until the number of atoms on both the sides become equal.

    Ca(NO₃)₂ + KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2KNO₃

                                ↓

     Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2KNO₃

3). Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2Na(NO₃)₂

    This equation is incorrect,

    Since the reaction of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ gives the final product    NaNO₃.

    Therefore, the correct equation will be,

    Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2NaNO₃

     This equation is in the balanced form.

heterogeneous non example

Answers

Heterogeneous 'mixtures' (because they don't meet the definition  of mixtures) are mixtures substances that aren't completely uniformly spread out. They haven't reacted with the solvent to become a solution.

Explanation: There are 2 types of heterogeneous solutions, A Colloid and a suspension.

Colloid: You can check if a mixture is heterogeneous by passing a light ray through it. This may cause the Tyndall effect (If the mixture is a colloid) when the Colloidal Heterogeneous mixture's particles are so small that they refract the beam of light and the path of light will be visible, like if you add 3 drops of milk in a glass of Water and shine a laser light through it. This is because the particles are too small to be seen by the unaided eye but big enough to scatter you laser light. However that particles won't settle down or will be separated by a filter paper due to particles' small size.

Suspension: A solution will be a solution when the particles of the Mixture is big enough to be seen by the unaided eye. Like if you mix sand and Water, the sand will eventually settle down due to Gravity. The mixture's solute will be big enough to pass through a filter paper.

A student weighs out a 6.64 g sample of , transfers it to a 500. mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it and then adds water to the 500. mL tick mark. What is the molarity of cobalt(II) fluoride in the resulting solution

Answers

Answer:

the molarity of cobalt(II) fluoride in the resulting solution is = 0.137  M

Explanation:

Given that :

a student dissolves 6.64 g of CoF₂  into 500 mL of water

volume of the solution(water) = 500 mL = 0.50 L

The standard  molar mass of CoF₂ is 96.93 g/mol

number of moles of CoF₂ = mass of CoF₂/molar mass of CoF₂

number of moles of CoF₂ = 6.64 g/96.93 g/mol

number of moles of CoF₂ = 0.0685 mol

The molarity of any given substance is known to be as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution.

Thus ;

Molarity of  cobalt(II) fluoride CoF₂ in the resulting solution is = number of moles / Volume in (L)

Molarity of  cobalt(II) fluoride CoF₂  = 0.0685 mol/ 0.50 L

= 0.137  M

Thus ; the molarity of cobalt(II) fluoride in the resulting solution is = 0.137  M

A 75 lb (34 kg) boy falls out of a tree from a height of 10 ft (3 m). i. What is the kinetic energy of the boy when he hits the ground? Round your answer to the nearest joule. ii. What is the speed of the boy when he hits the ground? Round your answer to two significant figures. iii. Using the conversion factors of 1 m = 1.094 yd and 1 mi = 1760 yd, calculate the speed of the boy in miles per hour when he hits the ground.

Answers

Answer:

Kinetic energy of boy just before hitting the ground is [tex]\approx[/tex]1000 J.

Speed of boy just before hitting the ground is 7.67 m/s

or 17.16 mi/hr.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of boy = 75lb = 34 kg

Height, h = 10ft = 3m

To find:

Kinetic energy of boy when he hits the ground.

As per law of conservation of energy The potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy.

[tex]\therefore[/tex] Kinetic energy at the time boy hits the ground = Initial potential energy of the boy when he was at the Height 'h'

The formula for potential energy is given as:

[tex]PE = mgh[/tex]

Where m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

h is the height of object

Putting all the values:

PE = [tex]34 \times 9.8 \times 3 \approx 1000\ J[/tex]

Hence, Kinetic energy is [tex]\approx[/tex]1000 J.

Formula for Kinetic energy is:

[tex]KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

where m is the mass and

v is the speed

Putting the values and finding v:

[tex]1000 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 34 \times v^2\\\Rightarrow v^2 = 58.82\\\Rightarrow v = 7.67\ m/s[/tex]

Given that:

1 m = 1.094 yd and 1 mi = 1760 yd

[tex]\Rightarrow 1609\ m = 1\ mi[/tex]

Converting 7.67 m/s to miles/hour:

[tex]\dfrac{7.67 \times 3600}{1609}=17.16\ mi/h[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

See Explanaton

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions states that when two same elements form more than a compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

Oxide A

3.50g of sulphur combined with 6.00g of oxygen

Oxygen:Sulphur = 6 : 3.5

Oxide B

2.80g of sulphur combined with 9.55g

Oxygen : Sulphur = 9.55 : 2.8

Therefore:

The ratio of Oxygen to Sulphur in Oxides A and B is:

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Oxygen}}{\text{Sulphur}} \implies \dfrac{6}{3.5}:\dfrac{9.55}{2.8} = \dfrac{1.7}{1}:\dfrac{3.4}{1}=1:2[/tex]

Ratio of Oxygen=1:2

There is exactly twice in Oxide B as in Oxide A.

a heating fan is supplied with 150 j of electricity which is nonverts to 113 j of thermal energy and 37 j of sound energy
How efficient is the heating fan?

Answers

Answer:

Heating Fan is 75.33% efficient.

Explanation:

As it is mentioned that the given fan is a HEATING FAN, it means the it is used for provided heat (thermal energy) to the surrounding. Hence, its efficiency depends upon how much heat/thermal energy is provides.

We can state that.

Total Energy provided = 150 J

Useful Energy = 113 J

Wasted Energy = 37 J

The efficiency of the heating fan can be given by following formula:

Efficiency = ( Useful Energy / Total Energy ) × 100

Efficiency = ( 113 J / 150 J) × 100

Efficiency = (0.7533)× 100

Efficiency = 75.33%

Explanation:

Forced migration is an involuntary, sudden movement of organisms from one geographical location to another. This is often in response to short term environmental changes such as drought, famine, etc

When an ecosystem suddenly comes under stress due to these short term environmental changes, organisms may not be left with any other choice but to move or go to new locations in the quest for survival. The organisms may not have left the ecosystem in the absence of such short term ecological stress. This is what is meant by forced migration.
