Explain why a model of the atom is crucial to understanding chemistry and in explaining the behavior of matter. use 3 - 4 sentences in your explanation.

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

The following reaction shows the products when sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide react. al(oh)3 + h2so4 → al2(so4)3 + h2o the table shows the calculated amounts of reactants and products when the reaction was conducted in a laboratory. sulfuric acid aluminum hydroxide initial amount of reactant 40 g 15 g theoretical yield of water from reactant 14.69 g 10.38 g what is the approximate amount of the leftover reactant? 11.73 g of sulfuric acid 10.33 g of sulfuric acid 11.12 g of aluminum hydroxide 13.67 g of aluminum hydroxide

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? what reaction takes place at the cathode?
