Hey there!:
1 mole of C6H12O6 ------------------ 6 moles of C
3.0 moles of C6H12O6 ------------- ??
3.0 *6 / 1 =>
18.0 moles of C
Hope that helps!
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A reaction that is exothermic and causes a decrease in the entropy of the system cannot be a spontaneous reaction. This is not totally true because naturally For a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (system plus surroundings) must increase. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The system entropy can decrease as long as the entropy of the surroundings increases enough to make the sum of the system and surroundings positive.
And we know that a spontaneous reaction is a reaction that occurs in a given set of conditions without intervention. Spontaneous reactions are accompanied by an increase in overall entropy or disorder. If the Gibbs Free Energy is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous, and if it is positive, then it is nonspontaneous.
Answer:
B) mostly empty space and has a small, positively charged nucleus
Explanation:
In the gold foil experiment, positively-charged alpha particles were directed towards a gold foil sheet. During the experiment, most of the particles went through the gold foil. However, a select few alpha particles were met with resistance and bounced off the sheet.
This proves that the gold atoms, which made up the gold foil sheet, were mostly empty space as most of the alpha particles passed through it. Furthermore, the particles which bounced off the sheet must have hit small, positively-charged nuclei. The nuclei must have been positive because similar charges repel each other. In other words, if the nuclei were negatively-charged, the positively-charged alpha particles would not bounce off the sheet, but instead "stick" to it.
