Calculate the mass (in grams) of 250mL of ether at 25 oC. The density of

leonid [27]

Volume=250mL
Density=0.71g/ml

$\boxed{\sf Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}}$

$\\ \sf{:}\implies Mass=Density(Volume)$

$\\ \sf{:}\implies Mass=0.71(250)$

$\\ \sf{:}\implies Mass=177.5g$

What did rutherford learn about the atom from his gold-foil experiment?

cluponka [151]

Hi there!

Rutherford's experiment showed that the atom's nucleus <em>did </em>have a positive charge. The α particles' trajectory was altered when it went through the gold foil, which, in turn resulted in the discovery of the atom's positive charge.

I hope this helps!
