The mean free path of the O₂ molecule is 5.97*10^{-5} m.

The mean free path of the O₂ molecule is calculated by the formula -

λ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}*\pi *d^{2}*n}

In this formula, λ represents mean free path of gas, d represents diameter and n is number of molecules.

As per the known fact, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 liter at STP.

So. 1 liter of O₂ gas will have number of moles = \frac{1*1}{22.4}

Number of moles = 0.045

Also, we are aware that 1 mole contains 6.02*10^{23} molecules.

So, 0.045 moles will contain number of molecules = 6.02*10^{23}*0.045

Number of molecules = 2.7*10^{22} molecules

Now, keeping the values in formula to find mean free path of gas -

λ =  \frac{1}{1.4*3.14*(3.75*10^{-10})^{2} *2.7*10^{22} }

λ = \frac{1}{16746.7}

λ = 5.97*10^{-5} m

Hence, the mean free path of the O₂ molecule is 5.97*10^{-5} m.

Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula of lead (IV) carbonate is Pb(CO_3)_2

To calculate the mass percentage of lead in lead (IV) carbonate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{\text{Mass of lead}}{\text{Mass of lead (IV) carbonate}}\times 100

Mass of lead = (1 × 207.2) = 207.2 g

Mass of lead (IV) carbonate = [(1 × 207.2) + (2 × 12) + (6 × 16)] = 327.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{207.2g}{327.2g}\times 0100=63.32\%

Hence, the mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

OverLord2011 [107]

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

Archy [21]
The concept used here is the Le Chatelier's principle. When a disturbance is introduced to the system, it favors the direction of reaction that minimizes the disturbance to regain equilibrium.

In endothermic reactions, the forward reaction is favored when the temperature is low. Otherwise, the reverse reaction is favored. When you add the amounts of substances on the reactant side, more products would formed favoring the forward reaction. If you increase concentration on the product side, you form more reactants so it would favor the reverse reaction. Lastly, since 10 moles of gases are needed in the reactant side, it would be favored during high pressure reaction.
