For Iron:
For Oxygen:
These are the two chemical symbols for the two elements found in Iron Oxide.
The first thing you do before performing anything in the laboratory is to read the procedure and prepare the materials needed. Next, if you already have the solution where you are supposed to take your 20 mL sample, then have it near you. Then, prepare a volumetric flask (750 mL) and a 20-mL pipette. Wash the pipette 3 times with the sample solution. If your diluent is water, wash the flask 3 times with water. Now, get 20 mL of sample from your parent solution, then add it to the flask (previously washed with water). Finally, add water until the mark in the flask and make sure that the water added is up to the mark based on the lower meniscus reading to be accurate in the amount inside the flask. <span />
When diluting solutions from concentrated solutions the following formula can be used
c1v1 = c2v2
where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution
and c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared
substituting these values
0.0813 M x 16.5 mL = 0.0200 M x V
V = 67.1 mL
the volume of the diluted solution prepared is 67.1 mL.
the volume of water that should be added to get a final volume of 67.1 mL is (67.1 - 16.5 ) = 50.6 mL
a volume fo 50.6 mL should be added
Answer: To test the properties of the particles, Thomson placed two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles.
Thomson also placed two magnets on either side of the tube, and observed that this magnetic field also deflected the cathode ray. The results of these experiments helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode ray particles, which led to a fascinating discovery−-−minusthe mass of each particle was much, much smaller than that of any known atom. Thomson repeated his experiments using different metals as electrode materials, and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material they originated from. From this evidence, Thomson made the following conclusions:
The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.
The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ~1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom.
These subatomic particles can be found within atoms of all elements.
While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of the electron disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible. In order to account for the existence of the electrons, an entirely new atomic model was needed.
