In 1808 John Dalton published his atomic theory which was quickly adopted. The five tenets of Dalton's theory are
An element is composed of tiny indivisible, indestructible particles called atoms.
All the atoms of an element are identical and have the same properties.
Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
Compounds contain atoms in ratios of small whole numbers.
Atoms can combine in more than one ratio to form different compounds.
Although all of the statements were valid at the time, several have been modified as new discoveries were made. Which of these tenets have been modified? What caused the modification?
Molecules and compounds are made up of many atoms, however, not all molecules are compounds. Which molecules are not considered to be compounds? What evidence do you have to make that conclusion?
A) Chlorophyll molecules are responsible for the green pigmentation of plants. Differing chemically isolated molecular chlorophyll compounds are named as "Chlorophyll X" (where "X" is a variable denoting the actual molecular fragments which are represented by the labels R2, R3, R7, R8, R17).
Suppose one molecule of Chlorophyll X contains 4 nitrogen atoms, and Chlorophyll X is 6.26 % nitrogen by weight. Using only this information and the atomic mass of nitrogen, determine the molecular mass of Chlorophyll X.
B) The Chlorophyll X molecule contains one magnesium atom. What mass of magnesium is found in 5.17 g of Chlorophyll X compound?
