Although Rutherford is credited with the famous gold foil scattering experiment, he didn’t actually conduct this experiment hims

elf. It was done by two of his assistants, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. Do you think it was fair to name the experiment after Rutherford while ignoring the other two scientists? Why or why not? Give credible arguments for your answer

Although he did not do the experiment himself, he had come up with the idea of what to do and how to do it. I think that only Rutherford receiving credit is okay as the assistants did not do anything to contribute to the actual idea of the experiment.
For example, we credit the invention of the iPhone to Steve Jobs, the engineers of Apple, the designers, etc. - those with actual contributions to the invention and the ideas and not the Chinese factory workers - those who construct the iPhone itself.

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 51.0 g of Cl2 (and excess P4)?
slava [35]

Answer:

0.287 mole of PCl5.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 51g of Cl2. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71g/mol

Mass of Cl2 = 51g

Number of mole of Cl2 =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of Cl2 = 51/71 = 0.718 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

P4 + 10Cl2 → 4PCl5

Finally, we determine the number of mole of PCl5 produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

10 moles of Cl2 reacted to produce 4 moles of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.718 mole of Cl2 will react to produce = (0.718 x 4)/10 = 0.287 mole of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.287 mole of PCl5 is produced from the reaction.

Which of the reactions are exothermic?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Reaction A, B, E and F are exothermic reactions.

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of reactants is more than the energy of the products. In these reactions, energy is released by the system.

The total enthalpy of the reaction (\Delta H) comes out to be negative.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of products is more than the energy of the reactants. In these reactions, energy is absorbed by the system.

The total enthalpy of the reaction (\Delta H) comes out to be positive.

So, from the given option reaction which are exothermic are with negative value (\Delta H) that enthalpy of reaction and those are:

1) 2Mg(s) + O_2( g )\rightarrow 2MgO (s),ΔH = -1203 kJ/mol

2)NH_3 (g) + HCl (g)\rightarrow NH_4Cl (s),ΔH =-176 kJ/mol

3) C(graphite) + O_2 (g)\rightarrow CO_2 (g),ΔH = -393.5 kJ/mol

4) CH_4 (g) + 2O2 (g)\rightarrow CO_2 (g) + 2H_2O (l),ΔH =-891 kJ/mol

Make the equation equal<br> Fe(NO3)3+KSCN —&gt; Fe(SCN)3 + K(NO3)3
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Fe(NO₃)₃ + 3KSCN  →   Fe(SCN)₃ + 3KNO₃

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Fe(NO₃)₃ + KSCN  →   Fe(SCN)₃ + KNO₃

Balanced Chemical equation:

Fe(NO₃)₃ + 3KSCN  →   Fe(SCN)₃ + 3KNO₃

Type of reaction:

It is double displacement reaction.

In this reaction the anion or cation of both reactants exchange with each other. In given reaction the cation Fe⁺³ exchange with cation K⁺.

The given reaction equation is balanced so there are equal number of atoms of each elements are present on both side of equation and completely hold the law of conservation of mass.

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD

Consider the reaction and its equilibrium constant at 25.0 ∘C :
olga55 [171]

Since Qp>Kp , the reaction is not at equilibrium.

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

The equilibrium constant shows the extent to which reactants are converted into products.

Now we have to obtain the Qp as follows;

Qp =[CH3OH]/[CO] [H2]^2

Qp = 0.265/(0.265) (0.265)^2

Qp = 14.2

Now we know that Kp = 6.09×10−3, Since Qp>Kp , the reaction is not at equilibrium.
