How did Ernest Ruth ford's discovery affect the model of the atom?

Chemistry

<span>By 1911 the components of the atom had been discovered. The atom consisted of subatomic particles called protons and electrons. However, it was not clear how these protons and electrons were arranged within the atom. J.J. Thomson suggested the"plum pudding" model. In this model the electrons and protons are uniformly mixed throughout the atom:  Rutherford tested Thomson's hypothesis by devising his "gold foil" experiment. Rutherford reasoned that if Thomson's model was correct then the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Then, if he shot high velocity alpha particles (helium nuclei) at an atom then there would be very little to deflect the alpha particles. He decided to test this with a thin film of gold atoms. As expected, most alpha particles went right through the gold foil but to his amazement a few alpha particles rebounded almost directly backwards.  These deflections were not consistent with Thomson's model. Rutherford was forced to discard the Plum Pudding model and reasoned that the only way the alpha particles could be deflected backwards was if most of the mass in an atom was concentrated in a nucleus. He thus developed the planetary model of the atom which put all the protons in the nucleus and the electrons orbited around the nucleus like planets around the sun.   </span>

A student who is performing this experiment pours an 8.50 mL sample of the saturated borax solution into a 10 mL graduated cylin
belka [17]

Answer:

Ksp = 0.1762

Explanation:

Applying

a) moles of HCl added, n= CV=0.5×0.012 = 6×10-3mol

b) since 0.006mol is present in 0.012dm3 of HCl

It implies moles of borax

C) Concentration = 0.706M

Ksp = [0.5]^2[0.706]= 0.176

Crank
17) 8.4 / 20 x 100

18) 20 . 0.5150

19) 6,50% because (as you said) the law of definite proportions states that regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass
