The given statement is true .

<h3>What is Rutherford’s gold foil  experiment?</h3>
  • A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a favorable charge. Most alpha particles went right around. This showed that the gold particles were mostly space.
  • The Rutherford gold leaf investigation supposed that most (99%) of all the mass of an atom is in the middle of the atom, that the nucleus is very small (105 times small than the length of the atom) and that is positively captured.
  • For the distribution experiment, Rutherford enjoyed a metal sheet that could be as thin as practicable. Gold is the most malleable of all known metals. It can easily be converted into very thin sheets. Hence, Rutherford established a gold foil for his alpha-ray scattering experimentation.

Discussion Questions 1. Given the equilibrium equation for a general reaction, A + B  C + D, explain what happens to the reacta
ANTONII [103]

Answer:The equilibrium constant for a given reaction is [concentration of products]/[concentration of reactants].

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant=[concentration of products]/[concentration of reactants]

The concentration of reactant  molecules is maximum at time 0 and it  decreases as the reaction proceeds, The concentration of product molecules increases.At equilibrium the concentration of reactants and products are equal.

All the changes would occur in accordance with the LeChateliers principle.

For the given reaction the following changes would occur:

a When CO is removed from the reaction mixture so the reaction would shift towards right that is in forward direction as we are decreasing the concentration of CO so the system would try to increase the concentration of CO and that can happen by more production of CO.

b Since the above reaction is an endothermic reaction so when we would be adding heat to the system that is when we would increase the temperature  the reaction would shift forwards as  more heat energy is absorbed by reactants  to form more products.

c When more CO₂ is added so more amount of reactants are added to the system so the system would try to decrease the amount of reactants that is CO₂ and hence more amount of products would be formed.The reaction would shift in forward direction.

d Since  this reaction is endothermic in nature so when we remove the heat from reaction hence even less amount of heat is present in the system and so the reaction shift in backward direction as the reaction cannot proceed without enough amount of heat.

What is the total number of moles (n) of electrons exchanged between the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the overall r
Sergeu [11.5K]
Answer:
             5 moles of electrons

Explanation:

The balance equation is as follow,

<span>                   5 Ag</span>⁺ + Mn⁺²<span> + 4 H</span>₂O    →<span>    5 Ag + MnO</span>₄⁻<span> + 8 H</span>⁺

Reduction of Ag:

                         Ag⁺ + 1 e⁻    →    Ag
Or,
                         5 Ag⁺  +  5 e⁻    →    5 Ag

Oxidation of Mn:

                          Mn⁺²   →    MnO₄⁻  +  5 e⁻

Result:
          Hence 5 moles of Ag⁺ accepts 5 electrons from 1 mole of Mn⁺².
