The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Why was it necessary to make sure that some solid was present in the main solution before taking the samples to measure Ksp? Select the option that best explains why. Choose... A. To make sure no more sodium borate would dissolve in solution. B. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium. C. To make sure the solution was saturated with sodium and borate ions. D. All of the above

Answer:

B. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The solubility product is a term used in chemistry to describe the equilibrium between the dissolved, dissociated and undissolved solute of a relatively low solubility ionic solid.

For an ionic solid MX, the solubility product is given as ;

MX(s) ----> M^n+(aq) + X^n-(aq)

If Ksp indeed scribes an equilibrium process for dissolution, it then implies that some undissolved solute must be present before samples are taken to measure the Ksp of a sample. This ensures equilibrium between dissolved and undissolved solute.

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.
