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

Chemistry

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>

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm

A mixture of noble gases [helium (MW 4), argon (MW 40), krypton (MW 83.8), and xenon (MW 131.3)] is at a total pressure of 150 k
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a) 1,6%

b) 64,775 g/mol

c) 3,6×10⁻² M

d) 2,3×10⁻³ g/mL

Explanation:

a) The mass fractium of helium is obtained converting the moles of the four gases to grams with molar weight and then caculating of the total of grams how many are of helium, thus:

  • Helium: 0,25 moles ×\frac{4 g}{1 mol} = 1 g of Helium
  • Argon: 0,25 moles ×\frac{40 g}{1 mol} = 10 g of Argon
  • Krypton: 0,25 moles ×\frac{83,8 g}{1 mol} = 20,95 g of krypton
  • Xenon: 0,25 moles ×\frac{131,3 g}{1 mol} = 32,825 g of Xenon

Total grams: 1g+10g+20,85g+30,825g= 62,675 g

Mass fraction of helium: \frac{1 gHelium}{62,675 g} × 100 = <em>1,6%</em>

<em />

<em>The mass fraction of Helium is 1,6%</em>

<em />

<em>b)</em><em>  </em>Because the mole fraction of all gases is the same the average molecular weight of the mixture is:

\frac{4+40+83,8+131,3}{4} = 64,775 g/mol

c) The molar concentration is possible to know ussing ideal gas law, thus:

\frac{P}{R.T} = M

Where:

P is pressure: 150 kPa

R is gas constant: 8,3145\frac{L.kPa}{K.mol}

T is temperature: 500 K

And M is molar concentration. Replacing:

M = 3,6×10⁻² M

d) The mass density is possible to know converting the moles of molarity to grams with average molecular weight and liters to mililiters, thus:

3,6×10⁻² \frac{mol}{L} × \frac{64,775 g}{mol} × \frac{1L}{1000 mL} =

2,3×10⁻³ g/mL

I hope it helps!
