Rutherford investigated atoms by firing small, positively charged particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. What results would he

expect to see if he believed Thomson’s model of the atom to be correct?

If Thomson’s model of the atom were correct, Rutherford should have seen a complete reflection of those particles when fired at the foil. Those particles would have hit a solid object (Thomson model) and would have been reflected back at the emitter. However, Rutherford discovered that most of those particles passed through the sheet, either continuing straight through or having the angle change a small amount (bouncing off the nucleus). Only a small number of the particles were reflected back, having hit the nucleus straight on. This led him to believe that there was a small, dense portion of the atom that resided within a larger, emptier space.

Explain how you can obtain hydrated sodium sulphate crystals from an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate​
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

If you left your aqueous sodium sulfite solution open on the side, atmospheric oxygen would cause the chemical change, the water would hydrate the new compound and the slow evaporation of water would give you lovely large crystals of Na2SO4 without you having to do anything!

Calculate the solubility of silver oxalate, ag2c2o4, in pure water. ksp = 1.0 × 10-11
aksik [14]
Answer is: the solubility of silver oxalate is <span>a. 1.4 × 10-4 m.
</span>

<span>Chemical reaction (dissociation) of silver oxalate in water: 
Ag</span>₂C₂O₄(s) → 2Ag⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻<span>(aq).
Ksp(Ag</span>₂C₂O₄) = [Ag⁺]²·[C₂O₄²⁻<span>].
[C</span>₂O₄²⁻] = x; solubility of oxalate ion.

[Ag⁺] = 2[C₂O₄²⁻<span>] = 2x
1.0·10</span>⁻¹¹ = (2x)² · x = 4x³.

x = ∛1.0·10⁻¹¹ ÷ 4.

x = 1.4·10⁻⁴ M.

A 4.236 g sample of a hydrocarbon is combusted to give 3.810 g of h2o and 13.96 g of co2. what is the empirical formula of the c
miss Akunina [59]
<span>Given mass: 3.810 g of h2o and 13.96 g of co2. Mass of CO2 : 13.96 g moles of CO2 : 0.317 moles / 44.0098 moles of C : 0.317 moles Mass of water = 3.81 g moles of water = 0.212 moles / 18.015 moles of H = 0.423 moles X2 Hence the molar ratio C : H is 0.317 : 0.423 = 1.000 : 1.334 Multiplying by 3 on both ratios we get: 3.000 : 4.003 Therefore the empirical formula is C3H4</span>
