Although Rutherford is credited with the famous gold foil scattering experiment, he didn’t actually conduct this experiment hims

elf. It was done by two of his assistants, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. Do you think it was fair to name the experiment after Rutherford while ignoring the other two scientists? Why or why not?

If he was the primary scientist doing it as he did alot of the heavy lifting then yes its ok, but i also think how the others should also me at least mentioned. Or they could just not name the experiment by a person just so its not too biased

ELEN [110]

Answer: Democritus atomic theory is the ancient theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms whereas Dalton atomic theory is a modern scientific theory that describes the nature of matter in terms of atoms. According to Dalton's theory, atoms are identically same, but Democritus had no idea about it. Atoms are never created nor destroyed, they just rearrange.

Determine the AMOUNT OF NO2, LIMITING REACTANT, AND THE AMOUNT AND NAME OF EXCESS REACTANT.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

balanced equation mole ratio 5 2 mol NO/1 mol O2

10.00 g O2 3 1 mol O2/32.00 g O2 5 0.3125 mol O2

20.00 g NO 3 1 mol NO/30.01 g NO 5 0.6664 mol NO

actual mole ratio 5 0.6664 mol NO/0.3125 mol O2 5 2.132 mol NO/1.000 mol O2

Because the actual mole ratio of NO:O2 is larger than the balanced equation mole

ratio of NO:O2, there is an excess of NO; O2 is the limiting reactant.

Mass of NO used 5 0.3125 mol O2 3 2 mol NO/1 mol O2 5 0.6250 mol NO

0.6250 mol NO 3 30.01 g NO/1 mol NO 5 18.76 g NO

Mass of NO2 produced 5 0.6250 mol NO2 3 46.01 g NO2/1 mol NO2 5 28.76 g NO2

Excess NO 5 20.00 g NO 2 18.76 g NO 5 1.24 g N

The potential energy diagram shows the gain and loss of potential energy as water molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen.
Dovator [93]

Answer:

  • The<em> diagram</em> with the five<em> labels</em> of the parts is in the image attached. Please, see the image.

Explanation:

<u>1) General explanation:</u> a <em>potential chemical energy diagram</em> is used to show how the <em>reactants</em> gain energy until they reach the <em>activation energy</em>, form the <em>activated complex</em>, and release part of the energy to form the <em>products</em>.

The difference between the chemical potential energy of the products and the reactants is the <em>enthalpy of the reaction</em>:

  • ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.

The labels that correspond to each part of the diagram are explained next.

<em><u>2) Reactants:</u></em>

This is the substances at the start, so they appear on the left bottom side of the diagram.

<em><u>3) Activation energy:</u></em>

It is the energy that the reactants must reach (the highest point) in order to the reaction occurs.

<u><em>4) Activated complex:</em></u>

This is the intermediate state and of highest energy. The reactants have formed a complex at mid way between the reactants and the products.

<u><em>5) Products:</em></u>

These are the substances formed when the reaction is completed. They are lower in energy than the activated complex. They can be either higher or lower in energy than the reactants. The products are shown to the right of the diagram.

<em><u>6) Enthalpy of the reaction:</u></em>

The enthalpy of the reaction is the difference in energy of the products and the reactants. In this case, since, the products are higher in energy, it means that the reaction absorbed energy and it is an endothermic reaction.
