Democritus proposed the idea that matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. His ideas were not accepted because he could not account for what held the atomic particles together in matter. Later, the discovery of the laws of definite composition and constant composition made chemists reexamine his ideas. (Either law is an acceptable answer.) 211. The noble gases received that name because they were thought to remain aloof, or apart, from reaction with all other materials. However, this supposed inertness was discovered not to be the case for several of the gases, which can react with elements, such as fluorine, to form compounds. 212. The formula of glucose is written as C6H12O6 and not as CH2O because a molecule of glucose contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. 213. Lithium fluoride is a solid because the electronegativity difference between two elements is so 214. 215. 216. 217. 218. 219. 220. great that the bonding is ionic. Nitric oxide has a small enough electronegativity difference for covalent bonding and thus will be a molecular substance with low molecular mass. LiF will exist as an ionic solid, and NO will be a gas at room temperature. The coefficients of the gaseous substances represent either the volume ratios or the mole ratios because equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of particles. The burning of wood is the chemical combination of substances in the wood with oxygen from the air. By limiting the amount of air available, the reaction can either be stopped or slowed down. The ideal gas was invented to fit the ideal gas law and allows the behavior of real gases to be approximated. Adjustments can be made to take into account the size of gas particles and the presence of forces of attraction between the particles. The particles that leave the body are the particles with the greatest kinetic energy. The resulting average kinetic energy of the remaining particles is lowered, and this decrease is observed as a decrease in temperature. A solution is a homogenous mixture. Small amounts of a solid solute can be present in a solid solvent. Sterling silver, gold jewelry, and other alloys are examples of solid solutions. A red blood cell has a lower concentration of salt than the salt water and therefore osmotic pressure will cause water to go from the red blood cell out to the salt water. As the red blood cell loses water, it will shrivel and eventually rupture. A reaction quotient, Q, is calculated by measuring the actual quantities of reactants and products present in a system that may or may not be at equilibrium. The value of Q is then compared with a known value of Keq for the system. If Q is less than Keq, the system has not yet reached equilibrium, and more products will be formed. If Q is greater than Keq, the system contains too much product to be at equilibrium, and a shift to the left will take place. If Q equals Keq, the system is at equilibrium.
