Answer:The center will be quite smaller in magnesium than in gold thus the alpha particle will scatter to a lesser degree and the experiment may not yield a meaningful result.

Explanation:

Gold has seventy nine protons and magnesium has only twelve protons. Gold atoms are quite much more massive than magnesium atoms. This implies that if magnesium atoms were used in Rutherford's experiment, the number of protons will be too few to give a reasonable result since the atom is quite small. A larger atom, having a larger centre is required in order to have meaningful scattering of alpha particles.

How many molecules are in 5.60 L of oxygen gas
topjm [15]
5.6L of O2 means we have 0.25 moles of O2.
As, 1 mole has 6.023*10^23 molecules,
0.25 moles of O2 will have 0.25*6.023*10^23 molecules=1.50575*10^23 molecules
and as 1 molecule of O2 has 2 atoms, so, 1.50575*10^23 molecules will have 2*1.50575*10^23 atoms=3.0115*10^23 atoms of O.

Metallic copper is formed when aluminum reacts with copper(ii) sulfate. how many grams of metallic copper can be obtained when 5
exis [7]
Answer is: 127 grams <span>rams of metallic copper can be obtained.
</span>Balanced chemical reaction: 2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3Cu.
m(Al) = 54.0 g.
n(Al) = m(Al) ÷ M(Al).
n(Al) = 54 g ÷ 27 g/mol.
n(Al) = 2 mol.
m(CuSO₄) = 319 g.
n(CuSO₄) = 319 g ÷ 159.6 g/mol.
n(CuSO₄) = 2 mol; limiting reactant.
From chemical reaction: n(CuSO₄) : n(Cu) = 3 : 3 (1 : 1).
n(Cu) = 2 mol.
n(Cu) = 2 mol · 63.55 g/mol.
n(Cu) = 127.1 g.

A cylinder of oxygen gas contains 2.80 mol of 02. If the volume of the cylinder is 8.58 L, what is the pressure of the 02 if the
Anni [7]

Answer:

pressure of the oxygen gas is 7.88atm

Explanation:

Moles of oxygen in cylinder  =  2.80 mol

volume=8.58L

temperature=294K

molar gas constant(R)= 0.0821 L atm / (mol K)

The pressure is calculated using ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

making Pressure subject of the formula

P = nRT /V

  = 2.80× 0.0821 ×294  /8.58 L

P = 7.88 atm
