Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

Answer:

H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

Option D is correct.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂   →    H₂O

There are two H and two O atoms present on left side while on right side only one O and two H atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This option is incorrect.

B) Mg + HCl   →   H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side of equation while on right side two H, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃      →     KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D)  H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. This option is correct.

How many total atoms are in 0.330 g of P2O5?
hichkok12 [17]
A) covert 0.330g to moles by dividing by molar mass of P2O5 .. Let's call this Y moles
B) 1 mole of anything contains the Avogradro Number of molecules
So here it is 6.02 x 10^23 x Y molecules
C) work out how many atoms in each molecule 2P + 5O total 7
So multiply answer to B by 7 to get final answer

A block of ice has a weight of 35
Alex17521 [72]
It would be 35g because you can break the ice chunk into as many pieces as you want when you combine them back together you'll always get the same weight

What could you change or add to your models based on what you have learned about molecules and phases so far?
timurjin [86]

Answer:Phase changes require either the addition of heat energy (melting, evaporation, and sublimation) or subtraction of heat energy (condensation and freezing). ... Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperature change.
