Manganese forms several oxides when combined with oxygen. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn and another oxide (Ox

ide 2) contains 77.5% Mn. You will show that these compounds obey the law of multiple proportions. In the first sample, what is the mass of Manganese per 1 gram of oxygen (O)? Mass Mn/1go

Explanation:

Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.

A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.

Mass of the oxide = 100g

Mass of Mn = 63.2 g

Mass of O = 100 - 63.2

= 36.8 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8

= 1.72

Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.

Mass of oxide = 100 g

Mass of Mn = 77.5 g

Mass of O = 100 - 77.5

= 22.5 g

Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5

= 3.44

Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.

B.

Oxide 1

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

Oxide 2

Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O

= 77.5/22.5

= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.

Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.
iragen [17]
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.
