b. Every element is made of atoms.
c. Atoms of different elements combine to form compounds.
d. In a
To determine:
Whether the given statements are true or false, according to the Dalton’s atomic theory.
Answer to Problem 51UTC
Solution:
- False
- True
- True
- False
Given:
Atoms of an element are identical to atoms of other elements.
Every element is made of atoms.
Atoms of different elements combine to form compound.
In a chemical reaction, some atoms disappear and new atoms appear
Explanation of Solution
- Dalton theory says that atoms of same element are identical in all respects, that is, size, shape and mass. So, the statement is inconsistent with Dalton theory.
- According to Dalton theory, all the matters are made up of atoms (which are indivisible). So, the statement is true.
- A compound is form by combination of atoms of different elements. So, the statement is consistent with Dalton theory
- According to Dalton theory, in a chemical reaction, combination, separation and rearrangement of atoms occur. So, the statement is inconsistent with Dalton theory.
Hence, all parts have been described.
- False
- True
- True
- False

- The relative ratio, or percent, of each isotope found in nature is the abundance number used to calculate the average mass. Here's the general equation for average atomic mass: (Abundance A)(Mass A) + (Abundance B)(Mass B) = Atomic Mass For example, here's how the average mass of of boron was calculated. Percent Boron-10 Percent Boron-11 10 + 11 =10.81 amu 100 100 (.20)10 + (.80)11 = 10.8 amu %D 3. Let's try out the atomic mass equation. Suppose you have a mixture of two nitrogen isotopes. For every 1 Nitrogen-15 isotopes, there are 3 Nitrogen-14 isotopes. Determine the abundance of each isotope in this mixture. Predict the average atomic mass of this mixture. Hint: This is NOT the mixture of nitrogen found in nature. You can check your answer by clicking "My Mixture" under isotope mixture. Next, create the mixture described in the problem. 14.50 amu 14.00 amu 14.25 amu 14.75 amuarrow_forward2.3arrow_forwardFillarrow_forward
