Answer: The results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment in which he passed alpha particles through a thin gold foil sheet. Through this sheet some of the particles passed on to the other side but some of them were reflected back.
This experiment was done by Rutherford to prove than an atom contains a tiny and heavy nucleus. He concluded that an atom has more than empty space and electrons were present in scattered form.
Also, he concluded that an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
Thus, we can conclude that the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
Answer:
Valence electrons or outer electrons are most important as they participate in bonding. The octet rule states that atoms gain, lose, or share valence electrons to have filled energy levels.. this gives atoms a stable configuration like that of the nearest noble gas.
Answer:
The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.
Explanation:
Mg produces less amount of MgO than O2; therefore Mg is the limiting reagent. O2 produces more amount of MgO than Mg; therefore O2 is the excess reagent.
Answer:
116.5 g of SO₂ are formed
Explanation:
The reaction is:
S₈(g) + 8O₂(g) → 8SO₂ (g)
Let's identify the moles of sulfur vapor, by the Ideal Gases Law
We convert the 921.4°C to Absolute T° → 921.4°C + 273 = 1194.4 K
5.87 atm . 3.8L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K
(5.87 atm . 3.8L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K) = n → 0.228 moles of S₈
Ratio is 1:8, 1 mol of sulfur vapor can produce 8 moles of dioxide
Then, 0.228 moles of S₈ must produce (0.228 . 8) /1 = 1.82 moles
We convert the moles to g → 1.82 moles . 64.06 g /1mol = 116.5 g
