The nails can puncture the tires of the vehicles making them deflated after a while. The process of tire deflation due to a puncture is due to the process called an effusion. Thus, option c is correct.

<h3>What is effusion?</h3>

Effusion is the process that defines the escape of the fluids or gases from a system through an outlet with a small diameter compared to the mean free path of the molecules.

When a tire is punctured then the gas from the tire starts to move out through the hole through effusion. This leads to deflation of the tire after some time as all the gas present inside had moved out completely.

Therefore, option c. a punctured tire deflates due to effusion.

A container holds 6.4 moles of gas. hydrogen gas makes up 25% of the total moles in the container. if the total pressure is 1.24
klio [65]
The total pressure of the mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressure of each gas as if it is alone in the container. The partial pressure of a component of the mixture is said to be equal to the product of the total pressure and the mole fraction of the component in the mixture.

Partial pressure of hydrogen gas = 1.24 atm x .25 = 0.31 atm
Partial pressure of the remaining = 1.24 atm x (1-.25) = 0.93 atm

The results of the gold foil experiment led to the
kari74 [83]

Answer:

B) mostly empty space and has a small, positively charged nucleus

Explanation:

In the gold foil experiment, positively-charged alpha particles were directed towards a gold foil sheet. During the experiment, most of the particles went through the gold foil. However, a select few alpha particles were met with resistance and bounced off the sheet.

This proves that the gold atoms, which made up the gold foil sheet, were mostly empty space as most of the alpha particles passed through it. Furthermore, the particles which bounced off the sheet must have hit small, positively-charged nuclei. The nuclei must have been positive because similar charges repel each other. In other words, if the nuclei were negatively-charged, the positively-charged alpha particles would not bounce off the sheet, but instead "stick" to it.
