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.

Using the solubility graph place the substances in order from most soluble (#1) to least soluble at 40°C. KNO3, NaClO3,KBr, NaCl
mestny [16]

Answer:

  • NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.

Explanation:

The attached file contains the graph with the solubility curves for the four substances, KNO₃, NaClO₃, KBr, NaCl.

To determine the solubility of each salt at a certain temperature, you read the temperature on the horizontal axis, labeled Temperature (ºC), and move upward up to intersecting the curve of the corresponding salt. Then, move horizontally up to insersceting the vertical axis, labeled Solubility (g/100g of H₂O), to read the solubility.

The higher the reading on the vertical axis, the higher the solubility.

The red vertical line that I added is at a temperature of 40ºC.

The number in blue indicate the order in which the solubility curves are intersected at that temperature:

  • 4: NaCl: this is the lowest solubility
  • 3: KNO₃: this is the second lowest solubility
  • 2: KBr: this is the third lowest solubility
  • 1: NaClO₃: this is the highest solubility.

Thus, the rank, from most soluble to least soluble is:

  • NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.
