Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

For the reaction A +B+ C D E, the initial reaction rate was measured for various initial concentrations of reactants. The follow

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Rate constant of the reaction is $3.3\times 10^{-3} M^{-2} s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

A + B + C → D + E

Let the balanced reaction be ;

aA + bB + cC → dD + eE

Expression of rate law of the reaction will be written as:

$R=k[A]^a[B]^b[C]^c$

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 1 ,when :

$[A]=0.30 M,[B]=0.30 M,[C]=0.30 M$

$R=9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s$

$9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s=k[0.30 M]^a[0.30 M]^b[0.30 M]^c$ ...[1]

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 2 ,when :

$[A]=0.30 M,[B]=0.30 M,[C]=0.90 M$

$R=2.7\times 10^{-4} M/s$

$2.7\times 10^{-4} M/s=k[0.30 M]^a[0.30 M]^b[0.90 M]^c$ ...[2]

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 3 ,when :

$[A]=0.60 M,[B]=0.30 M,[C]=0.30 M$

$R=3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s$

$3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s=k[0.60 M]^a[0.30 M]^b[0.30 M]^c$ ...[3]

Rate(R) of the reaction in trail 4 ,when :

$[A]=0.60 M,[B]=0.60 M,[C]=0.30 M$

$R=3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s$

$3.6\times 10^{-4} M/s=k[0.60 M]^a[0.60 M]^b[0.30 M]^c$ ...[4]

By [1] ÷ [2], we get value of c ;

c = 1

By [3] ÷ [4], we get value of b ;

b = 0

By [2] ÷ [3], we get value of a ;

a = 2

Rate law of reaction is :

$R=k[A]^2[B]^0[C]^1$

Rate constant of the reaction = k

$9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s=k[0.30 M]^2[0.30 M]^0[0.30 M]^1$

$k=\frac{9.0\times 10^{-5} M/s}{[0.30 M]^2[0.30 M]^0[0.30 M]^1}$

$k=3.3\times 10^{-3} M^{-2} s^{-1}$

Compare and contrast how observations and results can be used to

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

by statistical analyses, especially by determining the p-value

Explanation:

In general, observations and results obtained from experimental procedures are subjected to a statistical test to check the robustness of the working hypothesis. The p-value is the most widely used statistical index in order to test such observations and results. The p-value is the statistical probability of obtaining extreme observed results when the null hypothesis is considered correct. A p-value lesser than 0.05 generally is considered statistically significant and then the null hypothesis can be rejected. In consequence, a very low p-value (which is obtained by statistical analysis of the observations and results), indicates that there is strong evidence in support of the alternative hypothesis.
