Even though electrons are attract by the +ve nucleus, yet they dont fall in it. Explain.

Answer» this is due to the stability of the atom. U ACTUALLY are telling a drawback of rutherford's atomic model. u should remember one thing that electron always revolves in orbits meaning it always has particular energy level. the consequences u are stating will take place only when the electron is losing energy with its every turn. due to the loss of energy it will get closer & to nucleus & will end up falling into it so, the nucleus will become unstable & will get destructed. neil bohr removed this drawback by PROPOSING his theory which stated that electrons revolve in particular orbits of different energy levels. further, these revolve only in those orbits whose angular momentum is the integral multiple of the factor h/2pie. he also stated that electrons don't lose energy by the expiry of time he called this condition as ground STATE. also, if protons & electrons collide they won't make a SINGLE neutral body but would get unstable & will be destroyed instead. u should remember that the entire things which i stated is due to the stability of the atomic structure because i understand that its very difficult for u to understand the entire thing but just remember the stability factor & u will get the entire thing. so, u should remeber that the electron doesn't lose its energy due to its revolution in various energy orbitals

explain me in detail about dalton's law of partial pressure for making a project....with easy examples

Answer» According to Dalton‟s atomic theory, all matter, whether an ELEMENT, a compound or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms. The postulates of this theory may be stated as follows:
(i) All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms.
(ii) Atoms are indivisible particles, which cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
(iii) Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties.
(iv) Atoms of different elements have different MASSES and chemical properties.
(v) Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
(vi) The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
Drawbacks of Dalton’s Atomic Theory:
 The atom is further subdivided into protons, neutrons and electrons.
 The atoms of same elements are not similar in all respect. They may vary in mass and density. These are known as isotopes. For example: chlorine has two isotopes having mass numbers 35 a.m.u and 37 a.m.u.
 Atoms of different elements are not different in all respects. Atoms of different elements that have the same atomic mass are called isobar.
 According to Dalton atoms of different elements combine in simple whole number ratio to form compounds. This is not seen in complex organic compounds like sugar C12H22O11.
 The theory fails to explain the existence of allotropes like Diamond and Graphite which having different properties even these are made up of same kind ot atom NAMELY Carbon.
The introduction of matter wave concept by de Broglie, the principle of UNCERTAINTY by Heisenberg etc., paved the way for modern atomic theory [Modification in Dalton‟s atomic theory]
Modifications in Dalton’s atomic theory - Modern atomic theory are as follows. 
 Atom is considered to be a divisible particle
. Atoms of the same element may not be similar in all respects. eg: Isotopes (17Cl35,17Cl37 ) 
 Atoms of different elements may be similar in some respects eg. Isobars (18Ar 40 , 20Ca 40 )
  Atom is the smallest particle which takes part in chemical reactions. 
The ratio of atoms in a molecule may be fixed and integral but may not be simple e.g., C12H22O11 is not a simple ratio (Sucrose)
 Atoms of one element can be changed into atoms of other element by transmutation.
 The mass of an atom can be converted into energy. This is in accordance with Einstein‟s equation E = mc2

How much oxygen i will get from 2.5 cm3 hydrogen peroxide decomposition??

Answer»

Decomposition of Hydrogen PEROXIDE:
2H₂O₂ -------> 2H₂O + O₂
2 moles of hydrogen peroxide PRODUCES 1 MOLE of OXYGEN.
So, at STP,
44800 cm³ of hydrogen peroxide produces 22400 cm³ of oxygen. 
Then ,
2.5 cm³ of hydrogen peroxide produces 

(2.5 × 22400)/44800 
= 1.25 cm³ of oxygen

So, you will get 1.25 cm³of oxygen from 2.5 cm³ of hydrogen peroxide.

A) Calculate the molecular masses of the following compounds :i) Acetic acid (CH3COOH) ii) Ethanol (C2H5OH) iii) Carbon dioxide b) Calculate the mass of the following : i) 0.5 mole of N2 gas(mass from mole of molecule) ii) 0.5 mole of N atoms ( mass from mole of atom) iii) 3.011 × 1023 number of N atoms(mass from number) iv) 6.022 × 1023 number of N2 molecules (mass from number ) c) Calculate the number of particles in each of the following : i) 46 g of Na atoms (number from mass) ii) 8 g of O2 molecules ( number of molecules from mass) iii) 0. 1 mole of carbon atoms ( number from given moles)

Answer»

These are very simple questions provided you know the formulae.
You must memorize the atomic mass of common elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, helium, sodium, calcium, IRON and aluminium. Or you might be provided with the values in the exam.

a) For calculation of molar mass, add (individual atomic weights of the elements*number of atoms of elements in the compound).
For example, for acetic acid, Molar mass = (mass of carbon*2) + (mass of hydrogen * 4) + (atomic mass of oxygen*2) = (12*2) + (1*4) + (16*2) = 60 U

b) Mass of 1 mole of a substance in grams = Mass of one atom in u (unified mass, a UNIT for measuring mass of very small particles).
i) Thus mass of 1 mole of N2 gas = 2*14 = 28 grams
Mass of 0.5 mole of N2 gas = 28/2 = 14 grams

ii) Mass of 1 mole of N atoms = 14 grams
Mass of 0.5 mole of N atoms = 14/2 = 7 grams

iii) 1 mole of a substance contains 6.022 * 10^23 particles of it.
Thus 3.011 * 10^23 particles of a substance would be present in 0.5 moles of it.
Mass of 0.5 mole of N atoms is 7 grams.

iv) Mass of 6.022 number of N2 molecules = Mass of 1 mole N2 molecules = 28 grams.

c) Convert mass to moles and then to number of atoms/molecules.

i) Mass of 1 mole sodium atoms is 23 grams.
46 grams of sodium would be present in 2 moles of sodium.
2 moles of sodium contain 12.044 * 10^23 number of sodium (Na) atoms.

iii) 1 mole of carbon atoms contains 6.022 * 10^23 atoms
0.1 mole of carbon atoms contains 6.022 * 10^22 atoms.

Try to UNDERSTAND the steps carefully and solve the remaining questions yourself. Please ask if you have any doubts.

33.

What kind of uses of ISOBARS are there?

Answer»

They can be USED to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area (like the U.S.), and they can tell us how intense the system may be. On weather MAPS, you may have NOTICED areas that have a large “L” or “H” over a REGION with lines circling around them. The “L” stands for low pressure.
The lines circling them are isobars.  Generally the lowest pressure is where precipitation is most likely to fall, and high pressures are usually associated with clear and sunny conditions..
Isobars are lines of CONSTANT or equal pressure on a weather map..

In electrolysis of water, why is the volume of gas collected over one electrode double the volume of gas collected over the other electrode?

Answer»

Balance reaction for electrolysis of water is:

H2O  ------------------------------>  H2  +  1/2O2
the electrolysis of one mole water produce one mole of H2 and HALF mole O2. at the same condition (temperature, pressure) from ideal GAS equation
PV = nRT                        where R is gas constant
apply for Hydrogen:
   PV1 = RT        ----------------------(1)
apply for OXYGEN:
PV2 = RT/2      --------------------------(2)
(1)÷(2)
V1/V2 = 2
hence in the electrolysis of water volume of gas over one electrode is double the volume of gas collected over other electrode.

Difference between: nucleus and nucleons,valence shell and penultimate shell?

Answer»

A nucleus is at the center of an atom, and it is that collection of particles, protons and neutrons, that make up the nucleus of that atom. Because ATOMIC nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons, we have come up with the term nucleon to describe any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That MEANS EITHER a proton or a neutron, when we talk about them as part of the nucleus of an atom, can be properly called a nucleon. The nucleus of an atom is said to be MADE up of NUCLEONS

Difference Between Collide,Suspension And True Solution

Answer»

Collidal Solution is SOMEWHAT HAZY and light if made to fall in this solution gets scattered
Suspension is a solution through which if light is made to fall it STRAIGHT away passes from it,if the light FALLS on upper part of solution,but if made to fall in lower part it doesn't passes becoz heavy nonsoluble particles are settled down.
A true solution is CLEAR solution.....through which light passes without any disturbance.
