How was Rutherford’s gold foil experiment inconsistent with the plum pudding model of the atom?

According to the plum pudding model of the atom proposed by J.J. Thomson, the atom was considered to be a positive charge sphere in which electrons (negatively charged) are embedded in order to balance the positive charge.

According to Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, when he bombarded \alpha particles to the gold foil he observed that most of the particles went through, some of them got scattered in various directions, and few are deflected back to the source. Hence, this experiment shows that the plum pudding model was incorrect as; if there was the symmetrical distribution of the charges then all the \alpha particles will pass through without any deflection.

The gene for tallness (T) in a pea plant is dominant over the gene for shortness (t).
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

C. 75%

Explanation:

From a heterozygous cross (Tt x Tt) the produced offspring would consist of:

  • 25% TT -it would be tall-.
  • 50% Tt -it would be tall as the gene T is dominant-.
  • 25% tt -it would not be tall-.

Thus the produced offspring that would be tall is (50% + 25%) 75%. The answer is option C.

Calculate the osmotic pressure of 20 m solution of <br> LiCl at 25C
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

979 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the osmotic pressure, you need to use the following equation:

π = <em>i </em>MRT

In this equation,

-----> π = osmotic pressure (atm)

-----><em> i</em> = van't Hoff's factor (number of dissolved ions)

-----> M = Molarity (M)

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (0.08206 L*atm/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

When LiCl dissolves, it dissociates into two ions (Li⁺ and Cl⁻). Therefore, van't Hoff's factor is 2. Before plugging the given values into the equation, you need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

<em>i </em>= 2                             R = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

M = 20 M                    T = 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K

π = <em>i </em>MRT

π = (2)(20 M)(0.08206 L*atm/mol*K)(298.15 K)

π = 979 atm

Why are weight and mass used synonymously on Earth?
RUDIKE [14]
Actually mass and weight are two different things but most people did not understand the difference between them. And they are used synonymously on the earth. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter and weight is the measure of how the force of gravity acts on the mass that is Weight = mass x force of gravity. And they are also directly proportional to each other that is also the reason both terms are used synonymously.
