Rutherford and his colleagues fired a beam of small, positively charged alpha particles at thin gold foil. Some of these alpha p

articles were deflected at angles as they passed through the foil.
What conclusion did Rutherford and his colleagues draw from their results?
A) The atom must contain some neutral charge spread throughout the atom. He called these particles neutrons.
B) The atom must contain some centrally located negative charge. He called this core of negative charge the nucleus.
C) The atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. He called this core of positive charge the nucleus.
D) Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was correct. The atom contains positive charge spread throughout its structure.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The questions states that some particles were deflected meaning both the nucleus and the particles were the same charge because they repelled. Using common knowledge, we know that the nucleus is positively charged. Using this information, you can immediately eliminate choices A and B. Choice D says that the positive charge was spread throughout its structure. This is false because protons and neutrons are only found in the nucleus. Electrons are the subatomic particles found outside the nucleus, thus you can get rid of choice D, only leaving you with choice C.

Which is the following is a decomposition reaction
lora16 [44]

The equation that is a decomposition reaction is

PbCO3(s) ---> PbO(s) + CO2(g)

That is option D.

<h3>Properties of a decomposition reaction</h3>

A chemical reaction is defined as the combination of substances called reactants to form a product. The various types of chemical reaction include:

  • synthesis reaction

  • combustion reaction

  • decomposition reaction

  • single or double replacement reaction

Decomposition reaction is that type of chemical reaction in which the reactant breaks down to form two or more products.

Therefore the heating of lead (II) carbonate is a decomposition reaction.

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ?H during the following reaction: Fe (s) + 2HCl (g) ? FeCl2 (s) + H2 (g) =?H?157.kJ Use t
erik [133]

Correct Question:

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol

Answer:

-314 kJ

+628 kJ

+157 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.

If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.

1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)

This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so

ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ

2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)

This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so

ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ

3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl

This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so

ΔH = +157 kJ
