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.

A horizontal cylinder equipped with a frictionless piston contains 785 cm3 of steam at 400 K and 125 kPa pressure. A total of 83
guapka [62]

Answer:

a. 478.69 K

b. 939.43 cm^{3}

c. 19.30 J

d. 64.5J

Explanation:

From the question, we can identify the following;

V_{o} = 785cm^{3} = 0.000785 m^{3}

T_{o} = 400K

P_{o} = 125 Kpa =  125 000 Pa

Using the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where R is the molar gas constant = 8.314 m^{3}⋅Pa⋅K^{-1}⋅mol^{-1}

Thus, n = PV/RT = (125000 × 0.000785)/(8.314 × 400) = 0.03 mol

a. Steam temperature in K

To calculate this, we use the constant pressure process;

q = nΔH

Where q is 83.8J according to the question

Thus;

83.8 = 0.03 × [34980 + 35.5T_{1} - (34980 + 35.5T_{o})]

83.8 = (0.03 × 35.5) (T_{1} - 400K)

83.8 = 1.065 (T_{1}  - 400)

78.69 = (T_{1}  - 400)

T_{1} = 400 + 78.69

T_{1}  = 478.69 K

b. Final cylinder volume

To calculate this, we make use of the Charles' law(Temperature and pressure are directly proportional)

V_{1}/T_{1} = V_{o}/T_{o}

V_{1}  =  V_{o}T_{1}/T_{o}

V_{1}   = (785 × 478.69)/400

V_{1}   = 939.43 cm^{3}

c. Work done by the system

Mathematically, the work done by the system is calculated as follows;

w = P(V_{1}- V_{o}) = 125 KPa ( 939.43 - 785) = 19.30 J

d. Change in internal energy of the steam in J

ΔU = q - w = 83.8 - 19.3 = 64.5J

A) Find the gas speed of sulfur dioxide at 100.0 degrees Celsius? ______________
gtnhenbr [62]

a. 381.27 m/s

b. the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triiodide

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

T = 100 + 273 = 373 K

Required

a. the gas speedi

b. The rate of effusion comparison

Solution

a.

Average velocities of gases can be expressed as root-mean-square averages. (V rms)  

\large {\boxed {\bold {v_ {rms} = \sqrt {\dfrac {3RT} {Mm}}}}

R = gas constant, T = temperature, Mm = molar mass of the gas particles  

From the question  

R = 8,314 J / mol K  

T = temperature  

Mm = molar mass, kg / mol  

Molar mass of Sulfur dioxide = 64 g/mol = 0.064 kg/mol

\tt v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 373}{0.064} }\\\\v=381.27~m/s

b. the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:  

\rm \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }

M₁ = molar mass sulfur dioxide = 64

M₂ =  molar mass nitrogen triodide = 395

\tt \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{395}{64} }=\dfrac{20}{8}=2.5

the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide = 2.5 faster than nitrogen triodide

What determines how the atoms are organized on the periodic table of elements?
tresset_1 [31]
The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.
