Why did rutherford think that all of the alpha particles would go straight through?

Bad White [126]2 years ago

The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is evidence for the atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles being deflected at large angles suggested that there is a concentration of positive charge in the atom.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.5 atm

[Solve] mmHg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

1 atm = 760 mmHg

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     \displaystyle 1.5 \ atm(\frac{760 \ mmHg}{1 \ atm})
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                        \displaystyle 1140 \ mmHg

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

1140 mmHg ≈ 1100 mmHg

When the reaction shown is correctly balanced, the coefficients are: kclo3 → kcl + o2?
notka56 [123]
From the balanced equation 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, the coefficients are the following:
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3
coefficient 2 in front of potassium chloride KCl 
coefficient 3 in front of oxygen molecule O2

We got this balanced equation by identifying the number of atoms of each element that we have in the given equation KClO3 → KCl + O2.
Looking at the subscripts of each atom on the reactant side and on the product side, we have
     KClO3 → KCl + O2
       K=1          K=1
       Cl=1         Cl=1
       O=3          O=2

We can see that the oxygens are not balanced. We add a coefficient 2 to the 3 oxygen atoms on the left side and another coefficient 3 to the 2 oxygen 
atoms on the right side to balance the oxygens:
     2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
The coefficient 2 in front of potassium chlorate KClO3 multiplied by the subscript 3 of the oxygen atoms on the left side indicates 6 oxygen atoms just as the coefficient 3 multiplied by the subscript 2 on the right side indicates 6 oxygen atoms.

The number of potassium K atoms and chloride Cl atoms have changed as well:
     2KClO3 → KCl + 3O2
       K=2            K=1
       Cl=2          Cl=1
       O=6           O=6

We now have two potassium K atoms and two chloride Cl atoms on the reactant side, so we add a coefficient 2 to the potassium chloride KCl on the product side: 
     2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2, which is our final balanced equation.
        K=2           K=2
        Cl=2          Cl=2
        O=6           O=6
The potassium, chlorine, and oxygen atoms are now balanced.
