Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

One of the reactions that occurs in a blast furnace, in which iron ore is converted to cast iron, is Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2 Su
Tpy6a [65]

Answer : The percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample is 87.94 %

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

Fe_2O3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

First we have to calculate the mass of Fe.

\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe}{\text{Molar mass of }Fe}

Molar mass of Fe = 55.8 g/mole

\text{Moles of }Fe=\frac{1.79\times 10^3kg}{55.8g/mole}=\frac{1.79\times 10^3\times 1000g}{55.8g/mole}=3.15\times 10^4mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of Fe_2O_3

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of Fe produced from 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 3.15\times 10^4mole of Fe produced from \frac{3.15\times 10^4}{2}=15750 mole of Fe_2O_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of Fe_2O_3

\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=\text{ Moles of }Fe_2O_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }Fe_2O_3

Molar mass of Fe_2O_3 = 159.69 g/mole

\text{ Mass of }Fe_2O_3=(15750moles)\times (159.69g/mole)=2.515\times 10^6g=2.515\times 10^3kg

Now we have to calculate the percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample.

Mass of original sample = 2.86\times 10^3kg

\text{Percent purity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }Fe_2O_3}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100

\text{Percent purity}=\frac{2.515\times 10^3kg}{2.86\times 10^3kg}\times 100=87.94\%

Therefore, the percent purity of Fe_2O_3 in the original sample is 87.94 %
