Why did most of the alpha particles go straight through the gold foil in Rutherford's experiment?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andre [41]2 years ago

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.

-You wish to make a 0.203 M hydrochloric acid solution from a stock solution of 6.00 M hydrochloric acid. How much concentrated
lubasha [3.4K]

For all three questions, we will use the fact that

  • molarity = (moles of solute)/(liters of solution)

1) For 175 mL of solution at 0.203 M, this means that:

  • 0.203 = (moles of solute)/0.175
  • moles of solute = 0.035523 mol

Considering the hydrochloric acid solution, if we have 0.035523 mol, then:

  • 6.00 = 0.035523/(liters of solution)
  • liters of solution = 0.035523/6.00 = 0.0059205 = <u>5.92 mL (to 3 sf)</u>

<u />

2) If there is 20.3 mL = 0.0203 L, then:

  • 8.20 = (moles of solute)/0.0203
  • moles of solute = 0.16646 mol

This means that the molarity of the diluted solution is:

  • 0.16646/(0.200) = <u>0.832 M (to 3 sf)</u>

<u />

3) If we need 1.50 L of 0.700 M solution, then:

  • 0.700 = (moles of solute)/1.50
  • moles of solute = 1.05 mol

Considering the 9.36 M acid solution, from which we need 1.05 mol of perchloric acid from,

  • 9.36 = 1.05/(liters of solution)
  • liters of solution = 1.05/9.36, which is 0.11217948717949 L, or <u>112 mL (to 3 sf)</u>

Write the chemical equation for the formation of HI from the single, isolated H and I atoms.
mart [117]

Answer:

H2 + I2 → 2 HI.

Explanation:

Hydrogen iodide is a diatomic gas which can be readily formed from the direct combination of the elements involved which is hydrogen and iodine. Both elements can be combined by irradiating the mixture with an electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength which is equal to that needed to break the iodine molecule bond between the two iodine atoms

Suppose you will fill a glass with ice cubes. When the ice cubes melt, is the glass still full
goblinko [34]
No. It will not still be full. The reason being is because when it melts, it's almost the same thing as compacting things down into another object (container). Therefore, you will have some room left i the glass. Like, if your trashcan was over-flowing, and you push it down to compact it so you can add more trash. So when the ice melts, it will not be full.

Please help me with chem, it would be very appreciated!
Lelu [443]

To determine the shapes of molecules, we must become acquainted with the Lewis electron dot structure. Although the Lewis theory does not determine the shapes of molecules, it is the first step in predicting shapes of molecules. The Lewis structure helps us identify the bond pairs and the lone pairs.
