What did ruthorford discover that thomson did not understand

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

Mariana [72]

Answer:

0.25 mol

Explanation:

Use the formula n=N/NA

n= number of mols

N =  number of particles

Nᵃ = Avogadros constant = 6.02 x \\10^{23

So, n= \frac{1.505 X 10^{23} }{6.02 X 10^{23}}

The 10 to the power of 23 cancels out and you are left with 1.505/6.02, which is approximately 1/4. This is the same as 0.25 mol.

Hope this helped :)

Calculate the mass of 6.9 moles of nitrous acid (HNO2). Explain the process or show your work by including all values used to de
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:- 324.3 grams.

Solution:-  We have been given with 6.0 moles of nitrous acid and asked to calculate it's grams. Moles to grams is a unit conversion and for doing this conversion we multiply the given moles by the molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass is the formula mass and to calculate this the atomic masses of each atom are multiplied by their respective subscripts that is the number of the atom in the compound .

For example, NO_2 has one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom. So, the molar mass of this is = atomic mass of N + 2(atomic mass of O)

= 14 + 2(16)

= 14 + 32  

= 46 gram per mol

gram per mol is the unit of molar mass. So, the molar mass of NO_2 is 46 grams per mol.

Let's calculate the molar mass of nitrous acid using the same concept.

molar mass of [HNO_2 = 1 + 14 + 2(16)

= 1 + 14 + 32

= 47 grams per mol

Now, 6.9 moles of nitrous acid could easily be converted to grams as:

6.9molHNO_2(\frac{47g}{1mol})

= 324.3 g

Hence, the mass of 6.9 moles of nitrous acid is 324.3 grams.

Given the following thermochemical equation 2N2O(g) → 2N2(g) + O2(g) ∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol find the amount of heat that will be pr
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)

molecular weight of N₂O = 44

∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol

44 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 kJ of heat

2.25 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 x 2.25 / 44 kJ of heat

= 8.51 kJ of heat .

Ber [7]

Answer:

Localized flooding may be caused or exacerbated by drainage obstructions such as landslides, ice, debris, or beaver dams. Slow-rising floods most commonly occur in large rivers with large catchment areas. The increase in flow may be the result of sustained rainfall, rapid snow melt, monsoons, or tropical cyclones.
