The British scientist Ernest Rutherford postulated the nuclear model of the atom in the early 1900s. He described his model as the atom being mostly empty space with electrons having a fixed orbit around the positively charged nucleus of the atom. The experiment he conducted to arrive at the model is known as the thin-foil experiment. He passed a narrow beam of particles through a thin film of metal foil and observed that the particles were only slightly scattered. It was with this observation that he concluded that most of the mass of a particle is concentrated only in a minute fraction of the total volume of the atom.

Four springs are stretched to the same distance from the equilibrium position. The spring constants are listed in the table. A 2
svp [43]

Answer:

The correct option is;

X, W, Y, Z

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Spring (S),         Spring Constant (N/m)

      W,                   24

      X,                    35

      Y,                    22

      Z,                    15

The equation for elastic potential energy, E_e, is E_e = 0.5 \times k \times x^2

The above equation can also be written as E_e =\dfrac{1}{2}  \times k \times x^2

Where:

k = The spring constant in (N/m)

x = The spring extension

Therefore, since the elastic potential energy, E_e, of the spring is directly proportional to the spring constant, k, we have the springs with higher spring constant will have higher elastic potential energy, E_e, therefore the correct order is as follows;

X > W > Y > Z

Calculate the molar concentration of the Cl⁻ ions in 0.65 M CaCl2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet
alexandr1967 [171]
The question here is solved using basic chemistry. CaCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of CaCl2 that dissolves.
CaCl2(s) --> Ca+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
            [Cl⁻] = 0.65 mol CaCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol CaCl2 = 1.3 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.3 M

Answer:

  C  The experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

Explanation:

Apparently, adding heat caused the red substance to decompose into a gas and a metallic liquid. If it were simply a phase change, the original red substance could be expected to return when the temperature cooled. Because the substance apparently decomposed, it is clearly not an element. At no point in the experiment is there any evidence of a plasma being formed.

The observed decomposition is a chemical change.

A storage tank contains n, o, and co2. The partial pressure of n and o gas are 600 torr and 150 torr. The total pressure is 825
earnstyle [38]

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 75 torr.

<h3>What is Dalton's theory?</h3>

Dalton's theory of gas states that total pressure of the mixture of gas sample is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of all the gases present in that sample.

Given that,

  • Total pressure of mixture = 825 torr
  • Partial pressure of Nitrogen = 600 torr
  • Partial pressure of oxygen = 150 torr
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = ?

On putting values, we get

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 825 - (600 + 150) = 75 torr

Hence Partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 75 torr.
