Choose two of the following scientists: Anton Lavoisier, John Dalton, JJ Thomson, Robert Millikan, Ernest Rutherford, James Chad
OverLord2011 [107]

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚C inside a freezer for a night. When he took it out, its new volu
ad-work [718]

Initial volume of the balloon = V_{1}= 348 mL

Initial temperature of the balloon T_{1} = 25.0^{0}C + 273 = 298 K

Final volume of the balloon V_{2} = 322 mL

Final temperature of the balloon = T_{2} = ?

According to Charles law, volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } =\frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }

On plugging in the values,

\frac{348mL}{298 K} =\frac{322 mL}{T_{2} }

T_{2} =276 K

Therefore, the temperature of the freezer is 276 K

How many molecules of co2,h2o,c3h8, and o2 will be present if the reaction goes to completion?
Nadya [2.5K]

Let initially there are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of C3H8 present

The reaction will be

C3H8(g)  + 5O2(g)  ----> 3CO2(g)   + 4H2O

so here oxygen molecules are limiting as for 3 molecules of C3H8 we need 15 molecules of O2

now the given 10 molecules of O2 will react with only 2 molecules of C3H8 and they will form six molecules of CO2 and 8 molecules of H2O

Hence answer is

molecules of CO2 formed = 6

Molecules of H2O formed = 8

molecules of C3H8 left = 1

molecules of O2 left = 0

A nuclear waste site. cesium-137 is a particularly dangerous by-product of nuclear reactors. it has a half-life of 30 years. it
hram777 [196]
The mass decay rate is of the form
m(t) = m_{0} e^{-kt}
where
m₀ = 3000 g,the initial mass
k = the decay constant
t = time, years.

Because the half-life is 30 years, therefore
e^{-30k} =  \frac{1}{2} \\\ -30k = ln(0.5) \\ k =  \frac{ln(0.5)}{-30} =0.0231

After 60 years, the mass remaining is
m = 3000 e^{-0.0231*60} = 750 \, g

Answer: 750 g
