8 0

In 1917, Rutherford discovered something new, he bombarded alpha particles on nitrogen gas and noticed that occasionally an oxygen atom is produced. From this he concluded that the alpha particles removes proton from the nucleus (positively charged particle). He named this playing with marbles and he become the first one to split an atom. Thus, by bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles, he observed the production of oxygen, a different element.

Therefore, he said bombarding atoms with particles is similar to playing with marbles.

An unknown liquid has a vapor pressure of 88 mmhg at 45°c and 39 mmhg at 25°c. What is its heat of vaporization?
Elis [28]

The relation between vapour pressure , enthalpy of vapourisation and temperature is

ln(\frac{P1}{P2} ) = \frac{deltaH}{R} (\frac{1}{T2} - \frac{1}{T1})

ln (88/ 39) = DeltaH / 8.314 (1 / 318 - 1 / 298)

0.814 = DeltaH / 8.314 (2.11 X 10^-4 )

DeltaH = -32.07 kJ

Explain how you would calculate the q for warming 100.0 grams of liquid water from 0°C to 100 °C.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

mass = 100 g

T1 = 0°C

T2 = 100 °C

C = 1 cal/g°C

Q = mC(T2 -T1)

Q = 100(1)(100 - 0)

Q = 100(100)

Q = 10000 cal
