What experimental evidence led Rutherford to conclude the following: (a) The nucleus of the atom contains most of the atomic mas

s. The nucleus of the atom contains most of the mass since only a collision with a very dense, massive object would cause an alpha particle to be the source. (b) The nucleus of the atom is positively charged. The positive alpha particles their initial flight indicating that the nucleus of the atom is also positively charged. (c) The atom consists of mostly empty space. Most alpha particles pass through the gold foil leading to the conclusion that the atom is mostly empty space.

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The experiment of Ernest Rutherford involved the bombardment of a thin gold foil with alpha particles from a radioactive source. A zinc sulphide screen was used to follow the movement of the alpha particles.

It was discovered that most of the alpha particles  followed a  straight path through the gold foil. Some of them were scattered through large angles and few were even scattered in the backward direction.

Since alpha particles were heavier than electrons, they must have been deflected by very strong forces.

These experimental evidences led to the conclusions stated in the question.

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

  • 602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The<em> yield</em> is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of <em>fluorene</em> is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The <em>oxidation</em>, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

        2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

<u>1. Mole ratio</u>

          2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O

<u />

<u>2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles</u>

  • 175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • \text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol

<u>3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction</u>

a) <u>For CO₂</u>

i) number of moles

         2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x

x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) <u>For H₂O</u>

i) number of moles

0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Determine the mass of each sample 1.55 kmol sulfur trioxide
xxMikexx [17]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of the sulfur trioxide = 1.55kmol = 1.55 x 10³mole

Unknown:

Mass of the sulfur trioxide = ?

Solution:

To solve for the mass of the sample of sulfur trioxide:

  •  Find the molar mass of the compound i.e SO₃

          atomic mass of S = 32g

                                    O = 16g

              molar mass = 32 + 3(16) = 80g/mol

  • Use the formula below:

           mass of SO₃ = number of moles x molar mass

           mass of SO₃ =  1.55 x 10³ x 80 = 124000g or 124kg

Answer:

Double replacement

Precipitation reaction

Explanation:

You have the reaction:

         REACTANTS                          PRODUCTS

BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ 2NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄(s)

The general form of a double replacement reaction is the following:

AB + CD ⇒ CD + AB

The reactants basically, exchanged partners. In the case of your problem, Barium(Ba) and Sodium(Na) switched places. So this makes it a double-replacement reaction.

Now how do I know it is a precipitation reaction. A precipitation reaction occurs when two solutions combine and salt is formed. Salt is solid, so how do I know that's what occured? Look at your equation again:

BaCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) ⇒ 2NaCl (aq) + BaSO₄(s)

aq means aqueous (liquid)

s means solid

If you look at the product formed in the reaction, from two solutions, it formed a solid. So this is your clue as to why it is a precipitation reaction.
