How was Rutherford’s gold foil experiment inconsistent with the plum pudding model of the atom?

Chemistry

According to the plum pudding model of the atom proposed by J.J. Thomson, the atom was considered to be a positive charge sphere in which electrons (negatively charged) are embedded in order to balance the positive charge.

According to Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, when he bombarded \alpha particles to the gold foil he observed that most of the particles went through, some of them got scattered in various directions, and few are deflected back to the source. Hence, this experiment shows that the plum pudding model was incorrect as; if there was the symmetrical distribution of the charges then all the \alpha particles will pass through without any deflection.

Using the standard enthalpies of formation found in the textbook, determine the enthalpy change for the combustion of ethanol c2
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)

Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol

Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol

<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>

Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.6 V.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:

<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.

V₂ = ??? V, ​P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>

If 507 g FeCl2 were used up in the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, how many grams of NaCl would be made?
Ket [755]
Number of moles of FeCl2 used = mass/ molar mass 
Number of moles = 507/126.751 = 4.
If one mole of Fe reacts with two moles of sodium 
Then 4 moles of Fe produces 8 moles of sodium.
Number of moles of sodium = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of sodium chloride = 23 +35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Hence mass = 8 * 58.5 = 468 g. Hence Option A.
