in rutherford's gold foil experiment a very small number of alpha particles were deflected. what about the structure of the atom

s that could have caused this?

zvonat [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:The atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles were deflected by large angles (> 4°) as they passed through the foil. There is a concentration of positive charge in the atom. Like charges repel, so the positive alpha particles were being repelled by positive charge

The balanced equation below represents the decomposition of potassium chlorate.
dezoksy [38]
The oxidation number of chlorine in the reactant can be determined by K ion and O ion. K ion is +1 and O ion is -2. And the Cl is +5. The gas has the greatest entropy and the solid has the least. In the production, there are solid and gas. So it has more entropy than the reactants with solid only.

Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each definit
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.

There are three main definitions of acids/bases

- Arrhenius definition

-Brownstead-Lowry definition

-Lewis definition

Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.

However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.

Arrhenius - sodium carbonate

Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF

Lewis acid - AlCl3

4.50 g of NaCl reacts with 10.00 g of AgNO3 to produce 7.93 g of AgCl. If the theoretical amount of AgCl that can be formed is 8
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 94.07%

Explanation:

Percentage yield can be calculated by the formula

%yield = Experimental yield/Theoretical yield x100

Experimental yield = 7.93g

Theoretical yield = 8.43

%yield = Experimental yield/Theoretical yield x100

%yield = 7.93/8.43 x 100 = 94.07%

Which of the following is the correct equation for the reaction below?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Option C.

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium solid react with one mol of oxygen gas to

form two moles of magnesium-oxide solid

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

That's the reaction for the magnessium oxide's formation.

Be careful cause we do not say molecules, they are moles.

The stoichiometry indicates the number of moles that react and the moles which are produced.

It is a redox reaction, because the magnessium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. Both elements, changed the oxidation states.
