The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.
Answer: hydrogen is the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
We have the equation 
.
This means that for every mole of nitrogen consumed, 3 moles of hydrogen are consumed.
- Considering the nitrogen, the reaction can occur 0.50 times.
- Considering the hydrogen, the reaction can occur 1.8/3 = 0.6 times.
Therefore, <u>hydrogen</u> is the limiting reactant.
Answer: XF8
Explanation:
Empirical Formular shows the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.
Xe = 46.3% F = 53.7%
Divide the percentage composition of each element by the atomic mass.
Xe = 46.3/ 131.3 F= 53.7/ 19
= 0.353( approx) = 2.826 (approx)
Divide through with the smallest of the answers gotten in previous step.
Xe = 0.353 / 0.353 F = 2.826/ 0.353
= 1 = 8.0
Empirical formular = XF8
The empirical formula is XeO₃.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Assume 100 g of the compound is present. This changes the percents to grams:
Given mass in g:
Xenon = 73.23 g
Oxygen = 26.77 g
We have to convert it to moles.
Xe = 73.23/
131.293 = 0.56 moles
O = 26.77/ 16 = 1.67 moles
Divide by the lowest value, seeking the smallest whole-number ratio:
Xe = 0.56/ 0.56 = 1
O = 1.67/ 0.56 = 2.9 ≈3
So the empirical formula is XeO₃.
