The balanced equation will be:
Ca(IO₃)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 IO₃⁻(aq)
The Ksp equation will be:
Ksp = [Ca²⁺][IO₃⁻]²
A.) half - life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time during which concentration of the substance becomes half the initial value.
Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.
The equation to calculate Density is Mass / Volume. You are given that the density is 5.45 and the mass is 65; 5.45 = 65 / v. So v = 65 / 5.45; v = 11.93 mL (or if you want your answer to consider significant figures, v = 12 mL).
Density= mass/volume
volume=mass/density
volume= 40.0g/1.114g per mL
volume= 35.90664273 mL
volume = 35.9 mL
