Suppose we were to attempt to use a similar machine to measure the charge-to-mass ratio of protons, instead. Suppose, for simplicity, that we can get a "source" for a beam of protons as we do here for electrons (with a similar setup). What complications (if any) do you expect?

In summary, the biggest difference in the experiment is that the proton mass is much more than the electron mass, so the voltages used are high and very dangerous.

Explanation:

The machine to measure the ratio of charge / mass of the electron, has two parts: a part where it accelerates the electrons in an electric field and a second section to charter the beam and measure its radius of curvature calculated from here the q / m ratio

In the case of having protons, the charge has the same value as that of the electrons, but with a positive charge, so the polarities of the fields should be changed.

The mass of the protons is much greater than the mass of the electrons, which introduced a significant difference in the excrement, since similar electric fields the speed of the protons is much less than the speed of the electrons, so the magnetic field through which the voters pass to have equivalent deflations in many cases this small values of the magnetic field are not desirable due to the interference of the Earth's magnetic field.

Another solution could be to increase the electric field to have the protons with speeds similar to the electors, this possibility is not easy either, because the field of trunking of more than 5000 V would be needed, which are very dangerous.

In summary, the biggest difference in the experiment is that the proton mass is much more than the electron mass, so the voltages used are high and very dangerous.

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz
