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.

Calculate the theoretical yield of ammonia produced by the reaction of 100g of H2 gas and 200g of N2 gas
ipn [44]
To get the theoretical yield of ammonia NH3:
first, we should have the balanced equation of the reaction:
3H2(g) + N2(g) → 2NH3(g)
Second, we start to convert mass to moles
moles of N2 = N2 mass / N2 molar mass
                     = 200 / 28 = 7.14 moles
third, we start to compare the molar ratio from the balanced equation between N2 & NH3 we will find that N2: NH3 = 1:2 so when we use every mole of N2 we will get 2 times of that mole of NH3 so,
moles of NH3 = 7.14 * 2 = 14.28 moles 
finally, we convert the moles of NH3 to mass again to get the mass of ammonia:
mass of NH3 = no.moles * molar mass of ammonia
                      = 14.28 * 17 = 242.76 g
