Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?
Georgia [21]
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.

In the decomposition potassium nitride, 10.65 g of nitrogen form. How much potassium nitride was present initially ?
leonid [27]

Answer:

Mass =  99.8 g  

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of potassium nitride = ?

Mass of nitrogen produced = 10.65 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2K₃N→ 6K + N₂

Moles of nitrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles =  10.65 g / 28 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.38 mol

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with potassium nitride.

                        N₂              ;         K₃N

                         1               :            2

                         0.38          :          2×0.38 =0.76

Mass of potassium nitride:

Mass = molar mass × number of moles

Mass =    131.3 g/mol ×   0.76 mol

Mass =  99.8 g

Which relationship can be used to aid in the determination of the heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter? 
NARA [144]

Answer:

ΔH = q_{p}

Explanation:

In a calorimeter, when there is a complete combustion within the calorimeter, the heat given off in the combustion is used to raise the thermal energy of the water and the calorimeter.

The heat transfer is represented by

q_{com} = q_{p}

where

q_{p} = the internal heat gained by the whole calorimeter mass system, which is the water, as well as the calorimeter itself.

q_{com}  = the heat of combustion

Also, we know that the total heat change of the any system is

ΔH = ΔQ + ΔW

where

ΔH = the total heat absorbed by the system

ΔQ = the internal heat absorbed by the system which in this case is q_{p}

ΔW = work done on the system due to a change in volume. Since the volume of the calorimeter system does not change, then ΔW = 0

substituting into the heat change equation

ΔH = q_{p} + 0

==> ΔH = q_{p}

Why is carbon dioxide used in fire extinguisher?
rjkz [21]
As Fire needs oxygen to burn, Carbon Dioxide Covers the fire like an blanket and cuts the contact of fire to the oxygen present in the air, So Fire stops burning.That is why Carbon Dioxide is Considere as the best Fire Extinguisher.
