Answer:
The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is because the atom is mostly empty space.
Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.
Explanation:
One mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10∧23 particles. Thus we first convert 89.2 g to moles. 1 mole of sodium contains 23 g
Hence 89.2 g = 89.2 / 23 g = 3.878 moles
Therefore, 3.878 × 6.02×10∧23 particles= 23.346 × 10∧23 particles
Hence 89.2 g of sodium contains 2.335 ×10∧24 particles
Answer:
Molecular formula is C₂₆H₃₆O₄
Explanation:
The compound is 75.69 % C, 8.80 % H and 15.51 % O. This data means, that in 100 g of compound we have 75.69 g, 15.51 g and 8.80 g of, C, O and H, respectively. We know the molar mass of the compound, so we can work to solve the moles of each element.
In 100 g of compound we have 75.69 g C, 15.51 g O and 8.80 g H
In 412 g of compound we would have:
(412 . 75.69) / 100 = 311.8 of C
(412 . 15.51) / 100 = 63.9 g of O
(412 . 8.80) / 100 = 36.2 g of H
Now, we can determine the moles of each, that are contained in 1 mol of compound.
312 g / 12 g/mol 26 C
64 g / 16 g/mol = 4 O
36 g / 1 g/mol = 36 H
Molecular formula is C₂₆H₃₆O₄
