What experimental evidence did Thomson have for each statement?

Answer : In the experiment of Cathode Ray, Scientist J.J. Thomson found that a stream of electricity was attracted to the positive portion of an electrical plate, which helped him to conclude that there must be a negative aspect to matter. He called this discovery as the electron.

He was the one who suggested that these small, negatively charged particles were actually subatomic particles. Which are now called as "electrons".

Since atoms are found to be neutral, when it contain negatively charged electrons it must also contain some positively charged material.

Thomson studied electric discharge in a vacuum and found that the deflection of rays was evidence of atoms containing much smaller particles. He calculated that these particles would have a large charge in relation to their mass. While he did not name electrons, he knew they existed.

Explain the significance of this quote, “Heisenberg may have slept here.”

ch4aika [34]

Umm...Well...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that we can never know both the position and rate of change of a particle at any time. We can only know one or the other. This leads to rather silly jokes that deal with uncertainty, probability, and superposition. So, saying that "Heisenberg may have slept here" is essentially saying that it is uncertain if Heisenberg slept there or not, making for a rather silly, but slightly unfunny physics joke.

. How many moles are there in 8.5 x 1024 molecules of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4?

NeTakaya

Answer: To solve this question, we need to use the Avogadro's Number, which is a constant first discovered by Amadeo Avogadro, an Italian scientist. He discovered that in a mole of a substance, there are 6,02*10²³ molecules. Using this relationship, we apply the following conversion factor:

So, 8,50 * 10²⁴ molecules of Na₂SO₃ represent 14,12 moles of Na₂SO₃

When lithium nitride, Li3N(s) , is treated with water, H2O(l) , ammonia, NH3(g) , is produced. Predict the formula of the gas pr

Answer: The gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.

Explanation:

When sodium phosphide reacts with water molecule, it leads to the production of flammable, poisonous gas known as phosphine along with the production of sodium hydroxide.

The chemical reaction for the reaction of sodium phosphide with water follows the equation:

$Na_3P(aq.)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow PH_3(g)+3NaOH(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium phosphide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 1 mole of phosphine gas and 3 moles of sodium hydroxide.

Hence, the gas produced when sodium phosphide reacts with water is phosphine.

Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.80 times the effusion rate of carbon dioxide. answer in units of g/mol.

Effectus [21]

From Grahams Law the rates of effusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses at the same temperature and pressure.
Therefore; R1/R2 = √mm2/√mm1
The molecular mass of Carbon dioxide is 44 g
Hence; 1.8 = √(44/x
3.24 = 44/x
x = 44/3.24
= 13.58
Therefore, the molar mass of the other gas is 13.58 g/mol
