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

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>

Consider the reaction Mg(s) + I2 (s) → MgI2 (s) Identify the limiting reagent in each of the reaction mixtures below:
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

a) Nor Mg, neither I2 is the limiting reactant.

b) I2 is the limiting reactant

c) <u>Mg is the limiting reactant</u>

<u>d) Mg is the limiting reactant</u>

<u>e) Nor Mg, neither I2 is the limiting reactant.</u>

<u>f) I2 is the limiting reactant</u>

<u>g) Nor Mg, neither I2 is the limiting reactant.</u>

<u>h) I2 is the limiting reactant</u>

<u>i) Mg is the limiting reactant</u>

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

For 1 mol of Mg we need 1 mol of I2 to produce 1 mol of MgI2

a. 100 atoms of Mg and 100 molecules of I2

We'll have the following equation:

100 Mg(s) + 100 I2(s) → 100MgI2(s)

This is a stoichiometric mixture. <u>Nor Mg, neither I2 is the limiting reactant.</u>

b. 150 atoms of Mg and 100 molecules of I2

We'll have the following equation:

150 Mg(s) + 100 I2(s) → 100 MgI2(s)

<u>I2 is the limiting reactant</u>, and will be completely consumed. There will be consumed 100 Mg atoms. There will remain 50 Mg atoms.

There will be produced 100 MgI2 molecules.

c. 200 atoms of Mg and 300 molecules of I2

We'll have the following equation:

200 Mg(s) + 300 I2(s) →200 MgI2(s)

<u>Mg is the limiting reactant</u>, and will be completely consumed. There will be consumed 200 I2 molecules. There will remain 100 I2 molecules.

There will be produced 200 MgI2 molecules.

d. 0.16 mol Mg and 0.25 mol I2

We'll have the following equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

<u>Mg is the limiting reactant</u>, and will be completely consumed. There will be consumed 0.16 mol of I2. There will remain 0.09 mol of I2.

There will be produced 0.16 mol of MgI2.

e. 0.14 mol Mg and 0.14 mol I2

We'll have the following equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

This is a stoichiometric mixture. <u>Nor Mg, neither I2 is the limiting reactant.</u>

There will be consumed 0.14 mol of Mg and 0.14 mol of I2. there will be produced 0.14 mol of MgI2

f. 0.12 mol Mg and 0.08 mol I2

We'll have the following equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

<u>I2 is the limiting reactant</u>, and will be completely consumed. There will be consumed 0.08 moles of Mg. There will remain 0.04 moles of Mg.

There will be produced 0.08 moles of MgI2.

g. 6.078 g Mg and 63.455 g I2

We'll have the following equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

Number of moles of Mg = 6.078 grams / 24.31 g/mol = 0.250 moles

Number of moles I2 = 63.455 grams/ 253.8 g/mol = 0.250 moles

This is a stoichiometric mixture. <u>Nor Mg, neither I2 is the limiting reactant.</u>

There will be consumed 0.250 mol of Mg and 0.250 mol of I2. there will be produced 0.250 mol of MgI2

h. 1.00 g Mg and 2.00 g I2

We'll have the following equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

Number of moles of Mg = 1.00 grams / 24.31 g/mol = 0.0411 moles

Number of moles I2 = 2.00 grams/ 253.8 g/mol = 0.00788 moles

<u>I2 is the limiting reactant</u>, and will be completely consumed. There will be consumed 0.00788 moles of Mg. There will remain 0.03322 moles of Mg.

There will be produced 0.00788 moles of MgI2.

i. 1.00 g Mg and 2.00 g I2

We'll have the following equation:

Mg(s) + I2(s) → MgI2(s)

Number of moles of Mg = 1.00 grams / 24.31 g/mol = 0.0411 moles

Number of moles I2 = 20.00 grams/ 253.8 g/mol = 0.0788 moles

<u>Mg is the limiting reactant</u>, and will be completely consumed. There will be consumed 0.0411 moles of Mg. There will remain 0.0377 moles of I2.

There will be produced 0.0411 moles of MgI2.

Determine which set of properties correctly describes copper (Cu)?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

D. Malleable, conducts electricity, high melting point, giant structure, metallic lattice

Explanation:

Copper is a metal with an atomic number of 29. This metal is soft and reddish in color which explains why it is very malleable(beaten to form various shapes without breaking).

All metals are good conductors of electricity including copper which is also a metal. Metals generally are insoluble in water. Copper also has a high melting point which is a characteristic of metals due to their giant structure and metallic lattice which makes it difficult to be broken down.
