Answer:

a. 82.68 g b. 9.8 min

Explanation:

a. The amount of gold deposited by 5 A current in 2 hrs 15 mins

Since charge Q = It where I = current = 5 A and time = 2 hrs 15 mins = 2 × 60 min + 15 min = 120 + 15 min = 135 min = 135 × 60 s = 8100 s

Q = 5 A × 8100 s

= 40500 C

Also, Q = nF where n = number of moles of gold deposited and F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

n = Q/F = 40500 C/96500 C = 0.4195 moles ≅ 0.42 mole

Now n = m/M where m = mass of gold and M = molar mass of gold = 197

m = nM

= 0.42 × 197 g

= 82.68 g

b. The time taken for 6g of gold to be deposited.

We first find the number of moles of gold in 6g of gold

Since n = m/M and m = 6 g

n = 6/197 = 0.0305 mole

Q = It = nF

t = nF/I

= 0.0305 mol × 96500 C/5 A

= 2939.09 mol C

= 587.82 s

Changing t to minutes

587.82/60 s = 9.8 min

Watch the animation depicting Rutherford’s experiment and choose which of the following conclusions are correct.a. The atom cont
Lilit [14]

Answer:

a, b, c, d

Explanation:

Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:

Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.

Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.

Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.

He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.  

Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:

The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.

The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space

The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus

Therefore, the correct options are:

a, b, c, d

Fantom [35]
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness": for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water.

Calculate the concentration of each species in a 0.240 m c6h5nh3cl solution.
amm1812
The solution for this problem is:
C6H5NH3Cl is a strong salt: C6H5NH3+ + Cl- C6H5NH3+ + H2O <-----> C6H5NH2 + H3O+ 
K = Kw/ Kb= 1.0 x 10^-14 / 3.8 x 10^-10= 2.6 x 10^-5 

=2.6 x 10^-5 = x^2 / 0.240-x 
x = [H3O+] = 0.00251 M 
pH = 2.60 is the concentration
