<span>Gold is  a stable heavy metal that is easily formed into uniform and thin sheets of measurable property. Alpha particles are relatively massive (compared to electrons) and so deflection is less dramatic and more easily measured. This is the property that prompted Rutherford to use alpha particles and gold. </span>
The particles that are positively charged were fired at the gold foil and when it reached that goldatoms’ nuclei, which are also positively charged, the particles were repelled back

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

1. Convert given mass of reactant to moles.

2. Convert moles of reactant to moles of product using the coefficients in the balanced equation.

3. Convert moles of product back to grams of product

Explanation:

In order to find out the mass of a given product in grams you would have to convert the grams into moles by multiplying 1 mole over the given mass of the reactant. Then, you would convert the moles of the reactant into moles of the product using mole ratio. And lastly, you would multiply by the mass of the product to calculate the mass back to grams.

If 1.00 L of gas at 1.00 atm of pressure is compressed to a volume of 0.473 L, what is the new pressure of the gas?
natima [27]

Answer:

2.114 atm

Explanation:

Since it is just pressure and volume, use Boyle's Law

P1V1 = P2V2

Then plug in numbers

(1 atm)(1 L) = P2(.473 L)

P2 = 2.114 atm
