Rutherford performed gold foil experiment to understand that how negative and positive particles could Co exist in an atom. He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004 cm thick gold foil.
He proposed a planetary model of the atom and concluded following results and demonstrated that,
1. An atom produces a line spectrum.
2. An Electron revolves around the nucleus without any orbits.
3. Since most of the particles passed through the foil undeflected it means that most of the volume occupied by an atom is empty.
4. An Atom as a whole is neutral.
5. The deflection of few particles on the foil suggested that there is center of positive particles in an atom called the nucleus of the atom.
6. The complete rebounce of few particles on the gold foil suggested that the nucleus is very dense and hard.
Answer:
The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L
The concentration sodium sulfate = 2.104 M
Step 2: The equation
Na2SO4 → 2Na+ + SO4^2-
For 1 mol Na2SO4 we have 2 moles sodium ion (Na+) and 1 mol sulfate ion (SO4^2-)
Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the ions
[Na+] = 2*2.104 M = 4.208 M
[SO4^2-] = 1*2.104 M = 2.104 M
The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)
