First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:
Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg
Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:
4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C
We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.
35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h
Answer:
The first is the empirical formula which shows you the number of different atoms in the compound. After you convert the grams of each element into moles, you calculate the ratio of the moles, which gives you the ratio of the elements in the compound. More number-crunching gives you the molecular formula.
It showed that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.
It showed that all atoms contain electrons.
Explanation:
The experiment carried out by J.J Thomson on the gas discharge tube by passing electric current through a tube filled with many different gases provided a good insight into the structure of an atom.
This experiment led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.
- Cathode rays and it properties were discovered in this set up.
- It furnished the scientific community with evidences that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.
- Since atoms now contain some subatomic particles, they can be broken down in like manner into further bits.
- The cathode rays which were later termed electrons became a fundamental particles known for every atom.
