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

1 answer:

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>

In a percentage composition investigation a compound was decomposed into its elements: 20.0 g of calcium, 6.0 g of carbon, and 2

inysia [295]

The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

Ca-calcium

$\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%$

C-carbon

$\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%$

O-oxygen

$\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%$

slava [35]

Answer:

105 grams PbI₂

Explanation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2KI => 2KNO₃ + PbI₂(s)

moles Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.265L(1.2M) = 0.318 mole

moles KI = 0.293(1.55M) = 0.454 mole => Limiting Reactant

moles PbI₂ from mole KI in excess Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1/2(0.454 mole) = 0.227 mol PbI₂

grams PbI₂ = 0.227 mol PbI₂ x 461 g/mole = 104.68 g ≈ 105 g PbI₂(s)
