Rutherford performed gold foil experiment to understand that how negative and positive particles could Co exist in an atom. He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004 cm thick gold foil.
He proposed a planetary model of the atom and concluded following results and demonstrated that,
1. An atom produces a line spectrum.
2. An Electron revolves around the nucleus without any orbits.
3. Since most of the particles passed through the foil undeflected it means that most of the volume occupied by an atom is empty.
4. An Atom as a whole is neutral.
5. The deflection of few particles on the foil suggested that there is center of positive particles in an atom called the nucleus of the atom.
6. The complete rebounce of few particles on the gold foil suggested that the nucleus is very dense and hard.
1) The forward reaction is N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO
(that reaction requires special contitions because at normal pressures and temperatures N2 and O2 do not react to form another compound.
2) The equiblibrium equation is
N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇄ 2NO
3) Then, the reverse reaction is
2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)
Answer: 2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)
SI unites are based on multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 (and so on...) depending on the unit you're solving for.
The statement "Although sulfuric acid is a strong electrolyte, an aqueous solution of H₂SO₄ contains more HSO₄⁻ ions than SO₄²⁻ ions is <u>True.</u> This is best explained by the fact that H₂SO₄ <u>is a diprotic acid where only the first hydrogen completely ionizes.</u>
Why?
H₂SO₄ is a diprotic acid. That means that it has <u>two hydrogen ions</u> to give to the solution. The two dissociation reactions are shown below:
H₂SO₄ + H₂O → HSO₄⁻ + H₃O⁺
HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄²⁻ + H₃O⁺
As the arrows show, the first dissociation is complete, meaning that all the sulfuric acid that is present initially is dissociated into HSO₄⁻ and H₃O⁺. However, the second dissociation is incomplete, and it's actually an equilibrium with an acid constant (Ka)of 1.2×10⁻².
That means that if the initial concentration of H₂SO₄ was 1M, the concentration of HSO₄⁻ is going to be 1M as well, but <u>the concentration of SO₄²⁻ is going to be much less than 1M</u>, according to the dissociation constant.
Have a nice day!
