The atom resembles plum pudding

Explanation:

The discovery of the electron in 1897 by J. J Thomson and the proton in 1917 by Rutherford most directly refuted or replace the idea that the atom resembles plum pudding.

Which characteristics are common to the three isotopes of hydrogen?

allsm [11]

D should be the correct answer. isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic masses (number of protons and neutrons). isotopes also have the same number of electrons since atoms need to have equal numbers of protons and electrons to not be considered ions. Since the number of protons determines the chemical properties of the atom, we can say that all isotopes have the same chemical properties due to the fact that all isotopes have the same atomic number.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Which scientist performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

The scientist that performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons is J.J. Thomson.

<h3>What is a cathode ray?</h3>

A cathode ray is a tube that contains negatively charged electrode( that is the cathode) which emits electrons when heated at a low pressure.

The cathode ray was used by the scientist, J.J. Thomson to find the ratio of charge to mass (e/m) of the electrons.

Therefore, the scientist that performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons is J.J. Thomson.

Having done the experiment, explain briefly how the mass of zinc not equal the mass of lead gained (hint: the periodic table)

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Due to the difference in the relative atomic masses and therefore, the molecular masses of Zn and Pb, one mole of Zn is about 3.2 times lighter than one mole of Pb

Explanation:

From the periodic table, we have;

The atomic number of zinc, Zn = 30

The atomic mass of zinc, Zn = 65.38 amu

The molar mass of zinc, Zn = 65.38 g/mol

The atomic number of lead, Pb = 82

The atomic mass of lead, Pb = 207.2 amu

The molar mass of lead, Pb = 207.2 g/mol

Therefore, whereby equal number of moles of Zn is lost and Pb is gained, we have;

Mass of 1 mole of Zn = 65.38 grams

Therefore, 1 gram of Zn = 1/65.38 moles = 0.0153 moles

0.12 grams of Zn = 0.12×0.0153 = 0.00184 moles of Zn

Given that equal number of moles of Zn and Pb are involved in the reaction, the number of moles of Pb gained = 0.00184 moles

The mass of Pb gained = Number of moles of Pb gained × Molar mass of Pb

The mass of Pb gained = 0.00184 × 207.2 = 0.38 g ≈ 0.4 g.

Amount of Pb gained = 0.43 g ≈ 0.4 g

In the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH ->Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, if 6 moles of FeCl2 are added to 6 moles of Na0H, how many moles of NaOH

pogonyaev

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole

Explanation :

Given moles of $FeCl_2$ = 6 moles

Given moles of $NaOH$ = 6 moles

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$FeCl_2+2NaOH\rightarrow Fe(OH)_2+2NaCl$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with 2 moles of $NaOH$

So, 6 moles of $FeCl_2$ react with $\frac{2}{1}\times 6=12$ moles of $NaOH$

From this we conclude that, $FeCl_2$ is an excess reagent and $NaOH$ is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH

The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles
