Which activity best demonstrates Ernest Rutherford’s creativity?

Chemistry

Ber [7]3 years ago

Answer is: B. designing an experiment to test the plum pudding model.

Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate, but before testing, he thought that plum pudding model is correct.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

How many grams of sodium chloride must dissolve in 750.0 g of water to make a 0.50 molal solution?
AleksandrR [38]
Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent.
molality of solution to be prepared is 0.50 molal
this means that in 1000 g of water there should be 0.50 mol of NaCl
if 1000 g of water should contain - 0.50 mol 
then 750.0 g of water requires - 0.50 mol/kg x 0.750 kg = 0.375 mol
mass of NaCl in 0.375 mol - 58.5 g/mol x 0.375 mol = 21.9 g
therefore a mass of 21.9 g of NaCl is required

For the titration of 50. mL of 0.10 M ammonia with 0.10 M HCl, calculate the pH. For ammonia, NH3, Kb
Korolek [52]

Answer:

11.12 → pH

Explanation:

This is a titration of a weak base and a strong acid.

In the first step we did not add any acid, so our solution is totally ammonia.

Equation of neutralization is:

NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl

Equilibrium for ammonia is:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄  NH₄⁺  +  OH⁻      Kb = 1.8×10⁻⁵

Initially we have 50 mL . 0.10M = 5 mmoles of ammonia

Our molar concentration is 0.1 M

X amount has reacted.

In the equilibrium we have (0.1 - x) moles of ammonia and we produced x amount of ammonium and hydroxides.

Expression for Kb is : x² / (0.1 - x)  = 1.8×10⁻⁵

As Kb is so small, we can avoid the x to solve a quadratic equation.

1.8×10⁻⁵ = x² / 0.1

1.8×10⁻⁵  .  0.1 = x²

1.8×10⁻⁶ = x²

√1.8×10⁻⁶ = x → 1.34×10⁻³

That's the value for [OH⁻] so:

1×10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] . [H⁺]

1×10⁻¹⁴ / 1.34×10⁻³ = [H⁺] → 7.45×10⁻¹²

- log [H⁺] = pH

- log 7.45×10⁻¹² = 11.12 → pH
