Given this experimental data, Rutherford naturally considered a planetary-model atom, the Rutherford model of 1911 â electrons orbiting a solar nucleus â however, said planetary-model atom has a technical difficulty.
1 Goldâs melting point is at about 1,943 degrees Fahrenheit, which means you will need temperatures that hot to melt it. 2  Thus, it's very important that you don't just choose any container. 3  In addition to a crucible, you will need a pair of tongs to move the crucible and hold it.
hence: change in temperature of the gold * specific heat capacity of gold * weight = change in temperature of water * specific heat capacity of water * weight. hence (97 Â°C- 25 Â°C) * 0.02 kg * specific heat of gold = (100 Â°C - 97 Â°C) * 0.015 kg * 4184 J/Kg Â°C specific heat capacity of gold = ((100 Â°C - 97 Â°C) * 0.015 Kg * 4184 J/Kg Â°C) / ((97 Â°C - ...
