Answer:

The positive particles were deflected due the concentrated positive charge of the atom

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded that the positive particles were deflected through an angle greater than 90 due to electrostatic force of repulsion between the particles and positive part of the atom.

Answer:

The correct answers are statements 1st, 4th and 5th.

Explanation:

The main observations of Ernest Rutherford's experiments are:

a. The majority of the positively charged particles passed straight through, which signifies that there is a vacant space present in the atom.  

b. However, some of the positively charged particles retraced their path.  

The deflection of the positively charged particles takes place as the like charges repel, and this shows that they got deflected by the protons. It was also found that approximately all the positive charges got concentrated in a very small section within the atom, known as nucleus.

Frank has a sample of steel that weighs 80 grams. If the density of his sample of steel is 8 g/cm3, what is the sample’s volume?
IRINA_888 [86]
Density (p) is defined as the mass (m) per unit volume (v) or:

p = m/v 

Using this relationship, the volume is:

v = m/p

Using the given values of mass of 80 grams and density of 8 g/cm3, the sample volume is:

v = 80 grams/8 grams/cm3
v = 10 cm3

The final answer is 10 cm3.

A gas occupies a volume of 2.4 L at 14.1 kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 84.6 kPa?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  • <u>0.40 L</u>

Explanation:

Boyle's law for gases states that, at constant temperature, the volume and pressure of a fixed amount of gas are inversely related.

Mathematically, that is:

  • PV = constant

  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Here, you have:

  • V₁ = 2.4 L
  • P₁ = 14.1 Kpa
  • P₂ = 84.6 KPa
  • V₂ = ?

Then, you can solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

Substitute and compute:

  • V₂ = 14.1 KPa × 2.4L / 84.6 KPa = 0.40 L ← answer

How you can use atoms mass number atomic number and charge to determine how many protons neutrons and electrons
hoa [83]
The first thing you will need to do is find some information about your element. Go to the Periodic Table of Elements and click on your element. If it makes things easier, you can select your element from an alphabetical listing.

Use the Table of Elements to find your element's atomic number and atomic weight. The atomic number is the number located in the upper left corner and the atomic weight is the number located on the bottom, as in this example for krypton:

Krypton's data from the Table of Elements

Step 2 - The Number of Protons is...
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. In our example, krypton's atomic number is 36. This tells us that an atom of krypton has 36 protons in its nucleus.

The interesting thing here is that every atom of krypton contains 36 protons. If an atom doesn't have 36 protons, it can't be an atom of krypton. Adding or removing protons from the nucleus of an atom creates a different element. For example, removing one proton from an atom of krypton creates an atom of bromine.

Step 3 - The Number of Electrons is...
By definition, atoms have no overall electrical charge. That means that there must be a balance between the positively charged protons and the negatively charged electrons. Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. In our example, an atom of krypton must contain 36 electrons since it contains 36 protons.

Electrons are arranged around atoms in a special way. If you need to know how the electrons are arranged around an atom, take a look at the 'How do I read an electron configuration table?' page.

An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. An ion is nothing more than an electrically charged atom. Adding or removing electrons from an atom does not change which element it is, just its net charge.

For example, removing an electron from an atom of krypton forms a krypton ion, which is usually written as Kr+. The plus sign means that this is a positively charged ion. It is positively charged because a negatively charged electron was removed from the atom. The 35 remaining electrons were outnumbered by the 36 positively charged protons, resulting in a charge of +1.

Step 4 - The Number of Neutrons is...
The atomic weight is basically a measurement of the total number of particles in an atom's nucleus. In reality, it isn't that clean cut. The atomic weight is actually a weighted average of all of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element relative to the mass of carbon-12. Didn't understand that? Doesn't matter. All you really need to find is something called the mass number. Unfortunately, the mass number isn't listed on the Table of Elements. Happily, to find the mass number, all you need to do is round the atomic weight to the nearest whole number. In our example, krypton's mass number is 84 since its atomic weight, 83.80, rounds up to 84.

The mass number is a count of the number of particles in an atom's nucleus. Remember that the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. So, if we want, we can write:

Mass Number = (Number of Protons) + (Number of Neutrons)

For krypton, this equation becomes:

84 = (Number of Protons) + (Number of Neutrons)

If we only knew how many protons krypton has, we could figure out how many neutrons it has. Wait a minute... We do know how many protons krypton has! We did that back in Step 2! The atomic number (36) is the number of protons in krypton. Putting this into the equation, we get:

84 = 36 + (Number of Neutrons)

What number added to 36 makes 84? Hopefully, you said 48. That is the number of neutrons in an atom of krypton.

The interesting thing here is that adding or removing neutrons from an atom does not create a different element. Rather, it creates a heavier or lighter version of that element. These different versions are called isotopes and most elements are actually a mixture of different isotopes.

If you could grab atoms of krypton and count the number of neutrons each one had, you would find that most would have 48, others would have 47, some would have 50, some others would have 46, a few would have 44 and a very few would have 42. You would count different numbers of neutrons because krypton is a mixture of six isotopes.

In Summary...
For any element:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number
For krypton:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36
Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 84 - 36 = 48

If you obtained 2.50 moles of CuSO4 from the reaction of CuO and H2SO4, but the theoretical yield was 3.19 moles, what was the p
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

  • 78.4%

Explanation:

Just as context, write the chemical equation and the mole ratios

1) <u>Balanced chemical equation</u>:

  • CuO (s) +  H₂SO₄ (aq) → CuSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

2) <u>Therotetical (stoichiometric) mole ratios</u>:

  • 1 mol CuO : 1 mol  H₂SO₄  : 1 mol CuSO₄  : 1 mol H₂O

You can calculate the percent yield from the amount of CuSO₄ obtained and the theoretical yield

3) <u>Percent yield</u>

  • Definition:

         Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)×100

  • Theoretical yiedl (given): 3.19 moles CuSO₄

  • Actual yield (given): 2.50 moles CuSO₄

  • Calcualtion:

Substitute the values in the formula:

  • Percent yield = (2.50 moles CuSO₄ / 3.19 moles CuSO₄)×100 = 78.4%
