Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
Radioactive material obeys 1st order decay kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, we have
k =
where, k = rate constant of reaction
Given: Initial conc. 100, Final conc. = 6.25, t = 18.9 hours
∴ k =
= 0.1467 hours^(-1)
Now, for 1st order reactions: half life =
= 4.723 hours.
Brass is an alloy, or a combination of two (or more) metals.
Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes
Explanation:
Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide
2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO
Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.
2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2
The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.
