The results of Rutherford's experiment were surprising as most of the alpha particles went straight without any deflection

<h3>Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment:</h3>

During the experiment, Rutherford directed beams of alpha particles at the thin gold foil and observed the following things:

  • Most of the alpha particles passed straight without any deflection
  • Few alpha particles got deflected from their paths on small angles
  • Very few alpha particles got deflected from their paths on very large angles

<h3>Results of the experiment:</h3>
  • Most of the space inside an atom is empty
  • The center of the atom is occupied by a tiny positively charged dense body called a nucleus. Most of the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus
  • The electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits and are called planetary electrons

Thus, the results of the experiment were surprising due to the above-stated facts.

Consider the following reaction at 298 K: 2H2S(g)+SO2(g)→3S(s, rhombic)+2H2O(g),ΔG∘rxn=−102 kJ Is the reaction more or less spon
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The reaction is  more spontaneous than under standard conditions.

Explanation:

  • For ΔG°rxn, when it is:

negative: the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.

zero: the reaction is at equilibrium.

positive: the reaction is non-spontaneous in the forward direction and spontaneous in the reverse direction.

  • Since (ΔG°rxn = − 102 kJ) negative value:

<em>So, the reaction is  more spontaneous than under standard conditions. </em>

Substance which allows energy to pass through it
Airida [17]
A substance which allows energy (heat or electricity) to pass through it is known as a conductor.

These substances usually have free electrons which allows the charges to flow easily in the substance, thus, transferring energy.

Other substances which do not have free electrons and do not allow energy to pass through them are known as insulators.

PLEAS HELP I HAVE LIMITED TIME!!
Burka [1]

Answer:

H2 is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

From the diagram above:

H2 => White ball

O2 => Red ball

Before the reaction

H2 => White ball => 10

O2 => Red ball => 7

After the reaction

H2O => White and red ball => 10

O2 => 2

From the simple illustration above, we can see that all the H2 were used up in the reaction but there are left over of O2.

This simply means that H2 is the limiting reactant as all of it is used up in the reaction while O2 is the excess reactant as there are leftover.

What is the concentration (in ppm) of Mn7+ in a 0.00300 M KMnO4 solution?  Note:  for dilute aqueous solutions, 1 ppm = 1 mg/L.
aleksklad [387]

We know that there is 1 mole of Mn for every 1 mole of KMnO4, therefore the molarity of Mn is similar with KMnO4:

Mn = 0.00300 M

Molar mass of Mn is 54.94 g / mol. Molarity (M) is moles / L, therefore:

Mn = (0.00300 moles / L) * (54.94 g / mol) * (1000 mg / g)

<span>Mn = 164.82 mg / L = 164.82 ppm</span>

Number 14 please help.. chemistry

Taking into account the definition of density, the mass of a substance with a volume of 150 cm³ and a density of 1.5 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }  is 225 grams.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Mass of the substance in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 1.5 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }
  • Volume= 150 cm³

Replacing in the definition of density:

1.5 \frac{g}{cm^{3} } =\frac{mass}{150 cm^{3} }

Solving:

mass= 1.5 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }  ×150 cm³

<u><em>mass= 225 g</em></u>

In summary, the mass of a substance with a volume of 150 cm³ and a density of 1.5 \frac{g}{cm^{3} }  is 225 grams.
