1.70 × 10³ seconds

<h3>Explanation </h3>

\text{Co}^{2+} + 2 e⁻ → \text{Co}

It takes two moles of electrons to reduce one mole of cobalt (II) ions and deposit one mole of cobalt.

Cobalt has an atomic mass of 58.933 g/mol. 0.500 grams of Co contains 0.500 / 58.933 = 8.484\times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} of Co atoms. It would take 2 \times 8.484 \times 10^{-3} = 0.01697 \; \text{mol} of electrons to reduce cobalt (II) ions and produce the 8.484\times 10^{-3} \; \text{mol} of cobalt atoms.

Refer to the Faraday's constant, each mole of electrons has a charge of around 96 485 columbs. The 0.01697 mol of electrons will have a charge of 1.637 \times 10^{3} \; \text{C}. A current of 0.961 A delivers 0.961 C of charge in one single second. It will take 1.637 \times 10^{3} / 0.961 = 1.70 \times 10^{3} \; \text{s} to transfer all these charge and deposit 0.500 g of Co.

Why did rutherford think that all of the alpha particles would go straight through?
Bad White [126]
The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is evidence for the atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles being deflected at large angles suggested that there is a concentration of positive charge in the atom.
