Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Georgia [21]3 years ago
5 0
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Hence the correct option is an option (b) Sr4, Cl,Br−,Na+.

Explanation:    

Bromine and chlorine belong to an equivalent group. As we go down the group the dimensions increases which too there's a charge on the bromine atom. therefore the size of the Br- is going to be larger in comparison to the chlorine atom.

Sr atom is within the second group, and also it's below the above-mentioned atoms.so Sr is going to be the larger one among all the atoms.

Sodium and chlorine belong to an equivalent period .size decrease from left to right. but due to the charge on sodium its size decreases and there's an opportunity that Na+ size could be adequate for Cl.      

Here we finally assume that two atoms are of an equivalent size (Na+ and Cl) which are less in size compared to the opposite two(Sr and Br-) during which one is greater (Sr)and the opposite is smaller(Br-).

Calculate the moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2) needed to react in order to produce 85.00 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). us
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

0.85 mole

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction of CaCl2 to produce CaCO3. This is illustrated below:

When CaCl2 react with Na2CO3, CaCO3 is produced according to the balanced equation:

CaCl2 + Na2CO3 -> CaCO3 + 2NaCl

Step 2:

Conversion of 85g of CaCO3 to mole. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol

Mass of CaCO3 = 85g

Moles of CaCO3 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mole of CaCO3 = 85/100

Mole of caco= 0.85 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of CaCl2 needed to produce 85g (i.e 0. 85 mole) of CaCO3.

This is illustrated below :

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCl2 reacted to produced 1 mole of CaCO3.

Therefore, 0.85 mole of CaCl2 will also react to produce 0.85 mole of CaCO3.

From the calculations made above, 0.85 mole of CaCl2 is needed to produce 85g of CaCO3

Identify ways to reduce the risk of liquid bumping while heating.
postnew [5]

The most common way of preventing bumping is by adding one or two boiling chips to the reaction vessel. However, these alone may not prevent bumping and for this reason it is advisable to boil liquids in a boiling tube, a boiling flask, or an Erlenmeyer flask.
