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.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

The boiling point elevation is 3.53 °C

Explanation:

∆Tb = Kb × m

∆Tb is the boiling point elevation of the solution

Kb is the molal boiling point elevation constant of CCl4 = 5.03 °C/m

m is the molality of the solution is given by moles of solute (C9H8O) divided by mass of solvent (CCl4) in kilogram

Moles of solute = mass/MW =

mass = 92.7 mg = 92.7/1000 = 0.0927 g

MW = 132 g/mol

Moles of solute = 0.0927/132 = 7.02×10^-4 mol

Mass of solvent = 1 g = 1/1000 = 0.001 kg

m = 7.02×10^-4 mol ÷ 0.001 kg = 0.702 mol/kg

∆Tb = 5.03 × 0.702 = 3.53 °C (to 2 decimal places)

Consider the following balanced equation:

algol [13]

Moles of PF₃ : 4

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

$\tt P_4(s)+6F_2(g)\rightarrow 4PF_3(g)$

1.25 moles of P₄(s) is reacted with 6 moles of F₂(g)

Limiting reactant : the smallest ratio (mol divide by coefficient)

P₄ : F₂ =

$\tt \dfrac{1.25}{1}\div \dfrac{6}{6}=1.25\div 1\rightarrow F_2~limiting~reactant(smallest~ratio)$

mol PF₃ based on mol of limiting reactant(F₂), so mol PF₃ :

$\tt \dfrac{4}{6}\times 6~moles=4~moles$
