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

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>

Now they feel it is best to have you identify an unknown gas based on its properties. Suppose 0.508 g of a gas occupies a volume
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             mass = 0.508 g,               Volume = 0.175 L

             Temperature = (25 + 273) K = 298 K,       P = 1 atm

As per the ideal gas law, PV = nRT.

where,  n = no. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

Hence, putting all the given values into the ideal gas equation as follows.

               PV = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}} \times RT            

           1 atm \times 0.175 L = \frac{0.508 g}{\text{molar mass}} \times 0.0821 L atm/ K mol \times 298 K  

                            = 71.02 g

As the molar mass of a chlorine atom is 35.4 g/mol and it exists as a gas. So, molar mass of Cl_{2} is 70.8 g/mol or 71 g/mol (approx).

Thus, we can conclude that the gas is most likely chlorine.

When hno2 dissociates in water, which atom is dontaing electrons, allowing water to act as a lewis base?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer to this is O-atom.

Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.

A^+ + B^- \rightarrow A-B

where A^+ is the Lewis Acid and B^- is the Lewis Base and A-B is the Covalent Bond.

Reaction of dissociation of HNO2 in H_2O is given as:

HNO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_2^-

In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from HNO_2 forming a Lewis Base.
