a. 34 mL; b. 110 mL
a. A tablet containing 150 Mg(OH)₂
Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + 2H₂O
<em>Moles of Mg(OH)₂</em> = 150 mg Mg(OH)₂ × [1 mmol Mg(OH)₂/58.32 mg Mg(OH)₂
= 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂
<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol Mg(OH)₂]
= 5.144 mmol HCl
Volume of HCl = 5.144 mmol HCl × (1 mmol HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 34 mL HCl
b. A tablet containing 850 mg CaCO₃
CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⟶ CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
<em>Moles of CaCO₃</em> = 850 mg CaCO₃ × [1 mmol CaCO₃/100.09 mg CaCO₃
= 8.492 mmol CaCO₃
<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 8.492 mmol CaCO₃ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol CaCO₃]
= 16.98 mmol HCl
Volume of HCl = 16.98 mmol HCl × (1 mL HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 110 mL HCl
Explanation:
Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.
Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;
- He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
- To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
- In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
- Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.
