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>

a chemical company claims that they are able to produce a certain product thermodynamically unfavored process. Explain how this
KonstantinChe [14]
Thermodynamically favored process are those processes that do not require any assistance from outside the system e.g water boils at 25 degrees. Thermodynamically unfavored processes require assistance from outside to induce the required change for example water doesn't freeze at 15 degrees and therefore for that to happen several factors in the system have to be modified to achieve this. Therefore, there is a possibility of companies to produce product by using thermodynamically unfavored process by inducing changes in the system to achieve desired change or modification.
