Rutherford and his colleagues fired a beam of small, positively charged alpha particles at thin gold foil. Some of these alpha p

articles were deflected at angles as they passed through the foil.
What conclusion did Rutherford and his colleagues draw from their results?
A) The atom must contain some neutral charge spread throughout the atom. He called these particles neutrons.
B) The atom must contain some centrally located negative charge. He called this core of negative charge the nucleus.
C) The atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. He called this core of positive charge the nucleus.
D) Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was correct. The atom contains positive charge spread throughout its structure.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The questions states that some particles were deflected meaning both the nucleus and the particles were the same charge because they repelled. Using common knowledge, we know that the nucleus is positively charged. Using this information, you can immediately eliminate choices A and B. Choice D says that the positive charge was spread throughout its structure. This is false because protons and neutrons are only found in the nucleus. Electrons are the subatomic particles found outside the nucleus, thus you can get rid of choice D, only leaving you with choice C.

A blood sample with a known glucose concentration of 102.0 mg/dL is used to test a new at home glucose monitor. The device is us
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

A. 96.3 mg/dL

Absolute error: 5.7 mg/dL

Relative error: 5.6%

B. 97.2 mg/dL

Absolute error: 4.8 mg/dL

Relative error: 4.7%

C. 104.8 mg/dL

Absolute error: 2.8 mg/dL

Relative error: 2.7%

D. 111.5 mg/dL

Absolute error: 9.5 mg/dL

Relative error: 9.3%

E. 110.5 mg/dL

Absolute error: 8.5 mg/dL

Relative error: 8.3%

Explanation:

The formula for the absolute error is:

Absolute error = |Actual Value - Measured Value|

The formula for the relative error is:

Relative error = |Absolute error/Actual value|

In your exercise, we have that

Actual Value = 102.0 mg/dL

A. 96.3 mg/dL:

E_{ABS} = |102.0 - 96.3| = 5.7mg/dL

E_{R} = \frac{5.7}{102} = 0.056 = 5.6%

B. 97.2 mg/dL

E_{ABS} = |102.0 - 97.2| = 4.8mg/dL

E_{R} = \frac{4.8}{102} = 0.047 = 4.7%

C. 104.8 mg/dL

E_{ABS} = |102.0 - 104.8| = 2.8mg/dL

E_{R} = \frac{2.8}{102} = 0.027 = 2.7%

D. 111.5 mg/dL

E_{ABS} = |102.0 - 111.5| = 9.5mg/dL

E_{R} = \frac{9.5}{102} = 0.093 = 9.3%

E. 110.5 mg/dL

E_{ABS} = |102.0 - 111.5| = 8.5mg/dL

E_{R} = \frac{8.5}{102} = 0.083 = 8.3%

If i add water to 100 mL of a 0.15M NaOH solution until the final volume 150mL , what will the molarity of the diluted solution
labwork [276]
0,15 moles of NaOH-------in------------1000ml
x moles of NaOH------------in--------100ml
x = 0,015 moles of NaOH

final volume = 150ml

0,015 moles of NaOH---in-------150ml
x moles of NaOH--------------in-----1000ml
x = 0,1 moles of NaOH

answer:  0,1mol/dm³  (molarity)

What is the mass, in grams, of 50.0L of N2 at STP?
vodka [1.7K]

Hey there!:

Molar mass N₂ = 28.0134 g/mol

28.0134 g ------------------- 22.4 L (at STP )

mass  N₂ -------------------- 50.0 L

mass N₂ = 50.0 x 28.0134 / 22.4

mass N₂ = 1400.67 / 22.4

mass N₂ = 62.529 g

Hope this helps!

Laura has 3 beakers. Each contain 200cm3 of colourless liquid. Describe how Laura could determine which beakers contain pure wat
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Laura can look for a transparent and  translucent liquid and hence determine which beaker has water and which has solution

Explanation:

Pure water is a compound that is transparent in color. However, a solution is a liquid mixture comprising of a solvent or a solute. The atoms of solute occupy space between the atoms of solvent and hence are said to dissolve in it. Water can be a solvent.  

Thus, if the beaker has a transparent liquid in it, then it would be pure water while a beaker having a translucent liquid, then it would be a solution
