Why did Rutherford conclude that the atom was mostly empty space?

Chemistry

olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
6 0
Rutherford came to this conclusion after his Gold-Foil experiment. He found that most of the alpha particales(when released) went straight through the gold foil, of which consisted of atoms. In the middle of the atom theres a small nucleus that has mass and positive charge. Because the nucleus is so small the alpha <span>particles were able to go straight through leading to the conclusion that atoms are mostly empty space. </span>

Which aqueous solution has the highest boiling point?a. 0.20 M NaClb. 0.10 M CaCl2c. 0.1 M Ga2(SO4)3d. 0.2 M C6H12O6
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃

Explanation:

The boiling point increasing of a solvent due the addition of a solute follows the formula:

ΔT = K*m*i

<em>Where K is boiling point increasing constant (Depends of the solute), m is molality = molarity when solvent is water, and i is Van't Hoff factor.</em>

<em />

That means the option with the higher m*i will be the solution with the highest boiling point:

a. NaCl has i = 2 (NaCl dissociates in Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions).

m* i = 0.20*2 = 0.4

b. CaCl₂; i = 3. 3 ions.

m*i= 0.10M * 3 = 0.3

c. Ga₂(SO₄)₃ dissolves in 5 ions. i = 5

m*i = 0.10M*55 = 0.5

d. C₆H₁₂O₆ has i = 1:

m*i = 0.2M*1 = 0.2

The solution with highest boiling point is:

<h3>c. 0.1 M Ga₂(SO₄)₃</h3>

Is there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There is a difference between the homogeneous mixture of the hydrogen and the oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and the sample of the water vapor.

In the homogeneous mixture of the hydrogen and the oxygen which are present in the ratio, 2:1 , the elements are not chemically combined. They are explosive also as both shows their specific properties. They can be separated by physical means (Condensation, diffusion).

On the other hand, in water vapor, the two elements are chemically bonded in a specific mixture which cannot be separated via physical means. Water has its unique properties and they can be separated by chemical means only.

What is the ph of a 0.15 m solution of ammonium chloride?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
 Best Answer:  <span>(a) 
8.9 x 10^-7 = x^2 / 0.15-x 
x = [OH-] = 0.00037 M 
pOH = 3.4 
pH = 14 - 3.4 = 10.6 

(b) 
Ka = Kw/Kb = 5.6 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x 
x = [H+] = 0.000011 M 
pH = 5.0</span>
