Answer: Atoms aren't entirely empty space

Explanation:

Rutherford did his scatter experiment to disprove Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. Rutherford shot helium nuclei at a sheet of gold and expected the particles to all go straight through to a sensor. The reason he expected this was because Thomson said that atoms are mostly made of empty space. Not all the particles went through the gold sheet, a lot of them actually reflected back to him. This meant that atoms aren't entirely empty space and something had to deflect the helium nuclei

. How many grams of Na2SO4 are required to make 2700 mL of a 2.0 M solution?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the net ionic equation

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) ==> BaSO4(s) we see that 1 mole Ba2+ reacts with 1 mole SO42- to -> 1 mol BaSO4

Find moles of Ba2+ used: 0.250 moles/L x 0.0323 L = 0.008075 moles Ba2+

Find moles SO42- present: 0.008075 moles Ba2+ x 1 mol SO42-/1 mol Ba2+ = 0.008075 mol SO42-

Find mass of Na2SO4 present: 0.008075 mol SO42- x 1 mol Na2SO4/1 mol SO42- x 142.04 Na2SO4/mole = 1.14698 g = 1.15 g Na2SO4 (to 3 significant figures)

Consider 100.0 g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. One compound contains 27.2 g of carbon

Pani-rosa [81]

<u>Answer:</u> The ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds in more than one proportion. The mass of one element that combine with a given mass of the other element are present in the ratios of small whole number. For Example: $Cu_2O\text{ and }CuO$

<u>For Sample 1:</u>

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 27.2 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 27.7) = 72.8 g

To formulate the formula of the compound, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{27.2g}{12g/mole}=2.26moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{72.8g}{16g/mole}=4.55moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 2.26 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{2.26}{2.26}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.55}{2.26}=2.01\approx 2$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 2

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is $CO_2$

<u>For Sample 2:</u>

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 42.9 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 42.9) = 57.1 g

To formulate the formula of the compound, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{57.1g}{16g/mole}=3.57moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.57 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 1

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is $CO$

In the given samples, we need to fix the ratio of oxygen atoms.

So, in sample one, the atom ratio of oxygen and carbon is 2 : 1.

Thus, for 1 atom of oxygen, the atoms of carbon required will be = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, taking the ratio of carbon atoms in both the samples, we get:

$C_1:C_2=\frac{1}{2}:1=1:2$

Hence, the ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

NaBr + CaF2 → NaF + CaBr2 What coefficients are needed to balance the chemical equation? A) 1,1,1,1 B) 1,2,1,2 C) 1,2,2,1 D) 2,1

elena-s [515]

D.
2NaBr + CaF2 --> 2NaF + CaBr2 gives you:

2Na 2Na
2Br 2F
1Ca 1Ca
2F 2Br

This is balanced.
