Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Sodium chloride obtained from a mine present in United States has the same ratio of sodium chloride obtained from a mine in France has to be explained based on Dalton’s atomic theory.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Dalton’s Atomic theory tells that the relative number of atoms present in a particular compound is always the same. Considering this it can be said that sodium chloride obtained anywhere around the world will have the same ratio of components in it. This is because sodium chloride is a pure substance.
(b)
Interpretation:
Sum of the mass of hydrogen and oxygen gas is equal to the mass of hydrogen peroxide has to be explained based on Dalton’s atomic theory.
(b)
Explanation of Solution
Dalton’s Atomic theory tells that the mass of an atom does not change in a
