What did Ernest Rutherford s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]4 years ago
6 0
Rutherford performed gold foil experiment to understand that how negative and positive particles could Co exist in an atom. He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004 cm thick gold foil.

He proposed a planetary model of the atom and concluded following results and demonstrated that,
1. An atom produces a line spectrum.
2. An Electron revolves around the nucleus without any orbits.
3. Since most of the particles passed through the foil undeflected it means that most of the volume occupied by an atom is empty.
4. An Atom as a whole is neutral.
5. The deflection of few particles on the foil suggested that there is center of positive particles in an atom called the nucleus of the atom.
6. The complete rebounce of few particles on the gold foil suggested that the nucleus is very dense and hard.

If 5.85 grams of cobalt metal react with 15.8 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal can be formed and how many
vladimir2022 [97]
Answers:
<span>Answer 1: 10.03 g of siver metal can be formed.</span>
Answer 2: 3.11 g of Co are left over.

Work:

1) Unbalanced chemical equation (given):

<span>Co + AgNO3 → Co(NO3)2 + Ag

2) Balanced chemical equation
</span>
<span>Co + 2AgNO3 → Co(NO3)2 + 2Ag

3) mole ratios

1 mol Co : 2 mole AgNO3 : 1 mol Co(NO3)2 : 2 mol Ag

4) Convert the masses in grams of the reactants into number of moles

4.1) 5.85 grams of Co

# moles = mass in grams / atomic mass

atomic mass of Co = 58.933 g/mol

# moles Co = 5.85 g / 58.933 g/mol = 0.0993 mol

4.2) 15.8 grams of Ag(NO3)

# moles Ag(NO3) = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol

# moles Ag(NO3) = 15.8 g / 169.87 g/mol = 0.0930 mol

5) Limiting reactant

Given the mole ratio 1 mol Co : 2 mol Ag(NO3) you can conclude that there is not enough Ag(NO3) to make all the Co react.

That means that Ag(NO3) is the limiting reactant, which means that it will be consumed completely, whilce Co is the excess reactant.

6) Product formed.

Use this proportion:

2 mol Ag(NO3)           0.0930mol Ag(NO3)    
--------------------- =      ---------------------------
    2 mol Ag                              x

=> x = 0.0930 mol

Convert 0.0930 mol Ag to grams:

mass Ag = # moles * atomic mass = 0.0930 mol * 107.868 g/mol = 10.03 g

Answer 1: 10.03 g of siver metal can be formed.

6) Excess reactant left over

    1 mol Co                             x
----------------------- =  ----------------------------
2 mole Ag(NO3)       0.0930 mol Ag(NO3)

=> x = 0.0930 / 2 mol Co = 0.0465 mol Co reacted

Excess = 0.0993 mol - 0.0465 mol = 0.0528 mol

Convert to grams:

0.0528 mol * 58.933 g/mol = 3.11 g

Answer 2: 3.11 g of Co are left over.

Consider the reaction: A (aq) ⇌ B (aq) at 253 K where the initial concentration of A = 1.00 M and the initial concentration of B
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The maximum amount of work that can be done by this system is -2.71 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Maximum amount of work denoted change in gibbs free energy (\Delta G) during the reaction.

Equilibrium concentration of B = 0.357 M

So equilibrium concentration of A = (1-0.357) M = 0.643 M

So equilibrium constant at 253 K, K_{eq}= \frac{[B]}{[A]}

[A] and [B] represent equilibrium concentrations

K_{eq}=\frac{0.357}{0.643}=0.555

When concentration of A = 0.867 M then B = (1-0.867) M = 0.133 M

So reaction quotient at this situation, Q=\frac{0.133}{0.867}=0.153

We know,  \Delta G=RTln(\frac{Q}{K_{eq}})

where R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin

Here R is 8.314 J/(mol.K), T is 253 K, Q is 0.153 and K_{eq} is 0.555

So, \Delta G=8.314\times 253\times ln(\frac{0.153}{0.555})mol/K

                           = -2710 J/mol

                            = -2.71 kJ/mol

¿Quién estableció el concepto moderno de elemento?
Zina [86]

Answer:

Robert Boyle

Explanation:

En muchos textos se suele considerar a Robert Boyle como el científico que introdujo en la Química un concepto de elemento diferente al empleado por los aristotélicos o por los alquimistas y que sirvió de antecedente al que formulara Lavoisier en 1789.

PH CHEM, PLEASE HELP QUICK! NO LINKS/VIRUSES PLEASE!
Contact [7]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 11.48.

Explanation:

The reaction between NaOH and HCl is:

NaOH  +  HCl  →  H₂O  +  NaCl

From the reaction of 3.60x10⁻³ moles of NaOH and 5.95x10⁻⁴ moles of HCl we have that all the HCl will react and some of NaOH will be leftover:

n_{NaOH}} = n_{i_{NaOH}} - n_{HCl} = 3.60 \cdot 10^{-3} moles - 5.95 \cdot 10^{-4} moles = 3.01 \cdot 10^{-3} moles

Now, we need to find the concentration of the OH⁻ ions.

[OH^{-}] = \frac{n_{NaOH}}{V}

Where V is the volume of the solution = 1.00 L                

[OH^{-}] = \frac{n_{NaOH}}{V} = \frac{3.01 \cdot 10^{-3} moles}{1.00 L} = 3.01 \cdot 10^{-3} mol/L

Finally, we can calculate the pH of the solution as follows:

pOH = -log([OH^{-}]) = -log(3.01 \cdot 10^{-3}) = 2.52

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.52 = 11.48

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 11.48.

I hope it helps you!
