How did Ernest Rutherford’s experiment relate to J.J. Thomson’s work?

horsena [70]

Thomson realized that the accepted model of an atom did not account for negatively or positively charged particles. Therefore, he proposed a model of the atom which he likened to plum pudding. ... Rutherford with the assistance of Ernest Marsden and Hans Geiger performed a series of experiments using alpha particles.

aev [14]

Answer: The given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where two small chemical species combine in their elemental state to form a single large chemical species.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which heat is released by the reaction. The heat is written on the product side of the reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)+\text{heat}$

The above chemical reaction is a type of synthesis and exothermic as two substances in their elemental state are combining. Also, heat is getting released in the reaction.

Hence, the given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

STatiana [176]

Alkenes must undergo addition because they have easily broken tt bonds.

Markonikov's rule states in the addition of HX to an unsymmetrical alkene, the H atom bonds to the less substituted carbon atom.

alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons because they have fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms per carbon.

Alkyl halides have good leaving groups and therefore readily undergo substitution and elimination reactions.

In hydroboration, the boron atom bonds to the substituted carbon.

Hydroxides, amines and alcoxides undergo substitution and elimination, but can do so only when the heteroatom is made into a good leaving group.

What volume (in liters) of a solution contains 0.14 mol of KCl?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.078 \ L }}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of a solution given the moles of solute and molarity.

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. It is calculated using the following formula:

$molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}$

We know there are 0.14 moles of potassium chloride (KCl), which is the solute. The molarity of the solution is 1.8 molar or 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter.

moles of solute = 0.14 mol KCl
molarity= 1.8 mol KCl/ L
liters of solution=x

Substitute these values/variables into the formula.

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L = \frac { 0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}$

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. First, cross multiply. Multiply the first numerator and second denominator, then the first denominator and second numerator.

$\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}{1} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}$

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 1*0.14 \ mol \ KCl$

$1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 0.14 \ mol \ KCl$

Now x is being multiplied by 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 1.8 mol KCl/L.

$\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}$

$x= \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}$

The units of moles of potassium chloride cancel.

$x= \frac{0.14 }{1.8 L}$

$x=0.07777777778 \ L$

The original measurements of moles and molarity have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the thousandth place. The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 7 up to a 8.

$x \approx 0.078 \ L$

There are approximately 0.078 liters of solution.
