What questions and/or thoughts prompted Rutherford’s famous alpha particle scattering experiment?

Before Rutherford, JJ Thompson came up with the "plum pudding" model, in which the atom is composed of electrons surrounded by positive charge to balance the electrons’ negative charges. Rutherford's experiment disproved this model, by showing there's a small, high-energy nucleus in the center of an atom.

Compare the patterns of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on earth?

IgorC [24]

At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occurs as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes form between the plates, as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle. Second, two plates may come together, at a converging plate boundary. Two situations are possible at converging plate boundaries.

Toluene (C6H5CH3 ), an organic compound often used as a solvent in paints, is mixed with a similar organic compound, benzene (C6

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Weight of solute = 75.8 g, Molecular weight of solute (toulene) = 92.13 g/mol, volume = 200 ml

Therefore, molarity of toulene is calculated as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{weight of solute}}{\text{molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume of solution in ml}}$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{200 ml}$

= 4.11 M

Hence, molarity of toulene is 4.11 M.

As molality is the number of moles of solute present in kg of solvent.

So, we will calculate the molality of toulene as follows.

Molality = $\frac{\text{given weight of solute}}{\text{given molecular weight of solute}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{weight of solvent in grams}}$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol} \times \frac{1000}{95.6 g}$

= 8.6 m

Hence, molality of given toulene solution is 8.6 m.

Now, calculate the number of moles of toulene as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{92.13 g/mol}$

= 0.8227 mol

Now, no. of moles of benzene will be as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{95.6 g}{78.11 g/mol}$

= 1.2239 mol

Hence, the mole fraction of toulene is as follows.

Mole fraction = $\frac{\text{moles of toulene}}{\text{total moles}}$

= $\frac{0.8227 mol}{(0.8227 + 1.2239) mol}$

= 0.402

Hence, mole fraction of toulene is 0.402.

As density of given solution is 0.857 $g/cm^{3}$ so, we will calculate the mass of solution as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

0.857 $g/cm^{3}$ = $\frac{mass}{200 ml}$ (As 1 $cm^{3}$ = 1 g)

mass = 171.4 g

Therefore, calculate the mass percent of toulene as follows.

Mass % = $\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100$

= $\frac{75.8 g}{171.4 g} \times 100$

= 44.22%

Therefore, mass percent of toulene is 44.22%.
