Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Georgia [21]2 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.

How many particles are there in 5.0 moles​
grigory [225]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.

Using the formula: N = n × NA

Where;

N= number of particles or atoms

n = number of moles

NA = Avagadro's constant or number

This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:

5 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.1 × 10^23

= 3.01 × 10^24 particles

Lead(II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, and potassium iodide, KI<br><br><br> net ionic equation:
MissTica

Answer:

Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → PbI₂ (s)

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Solubility Rules
  • Reaction Prediction

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: RxN</u>

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + KI (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + KNO₃ (aq)

<u>Step 2: Balance RxN</u>

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2KI (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + 2KNO₃ (aq)

<u>Step 3: Ionic Equations</u>

Total Ionic Equation:

Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2K⁺ (aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + 2K⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq)

<em>Cancel out spectator ions.</em>

Net Ionic Equation:

Pb²⁺ (aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → PbI₂ (s)

What happens if you overheat copper sulfate
Sergio039 [100]
If  you  overheat  copper  sulfate  higher  of   mass  will  be  lost that  is  copper  sulfate  will  loss  sulfur  and  oxygen which  led to a  higher loss  of  mass than  if  you  would   have heated enough. This  higher  mass lost will  be shown  in  calculation  as  percentage of  water  lost

Determine whether each melting point observation corresponds to a pure sample of a single compound or to an impure sample with m
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Wide melting point range - impure sample with multiple compounds

Experimental melting point is close to literature value - pure sample of a single compound

Experimental melting point is below literature value - impure sample with multiple compounds

Narrow melting point range - pure sample of a single compound

Explanation:

The melting point of substances are easily obtainable from literature such as the CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry.

A single pure substance is always observed to melt within a narrow temperature range. This melting temperature is always very close to the melting point recorded in literature for the pure compound.

However, an impure sample with multiple compounds will melt over a wide temperature range. We also have to recall that impurities lower the melting point of a pure substance. Hence, the experimental melting point of an impure sample with multiple compounds is always below the literature value.
