Answer: The results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford performed an experiment in which he passed alpha particles through a thin gold foil sheet. Through this sheet some of the particles passed on to the other side but some of them were reflected back.
This experiment was done by Rutherford to prove than an atom contains a tiny and heavy nucleus. He concluded that an atom has more than empty space and electrons were present in scattered form.
Also, he concluded that an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
Thus, we can conclude that the results of Rutherford's gold foil experiment gave him the evidence to arrive at two conclusions: (1) an atom was much more than just empty space and scattered electrons and (2) an atom consists of a positive charge at the center where most of its mass is placed.
Answer:
70.0°C
Explanation:
We are given;
- Amount of heat generated by propane as 104.6 kJ or 104600 Joules
- Mass of water is 500 g
- Initial temperature as 20.0 ° C
We are required to determine the final temperature of water;
Taking the initial temperature is x°C
We know that the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C
Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat × change in temperature
In this case;
Change in temp =(x-20)° C
Therefore;
104600 J = 500 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (x-20)
104600 J = 2090x -41800
146400 = 2090 x
x = 70.0479
=70.0 °C
Thus, the final temperature of water is 70.0°C
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
42960 years
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Remaining mass of C-14 in a bone is 0.3125 g
- Original mass of C-14 on the bone is 80.0 g
- Half life of C-14 is 5370 years
We are required to determine the age of the bone;
- Remaining mass = Original mass × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore;
0.3125 g = 80.0 g × 0.5^n
3.90625 × 10^-3 = 0.5^n
- Introducing logarithm on both sides;
log 3.90625 × 10^-3 = n log 0.5
Solving for n
n = log 3.90625 × 10^-3 ÷ log 0.5
= 8
- Therefore, the number of half lives is 8
- But, 1 half life is 5370 years
- Therefore;
Age of the rock = 5370 years × 8
= 42960 years
Thus, the bone is 42960 years old
