After Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles, he concluded that the volume of an atom is mostly empty space. Which

observation led Rutherford to this conclusion?
1) some of the alpha particles deflected 180 degrees
2) the paths of deflected alpha particles were hyperbolic
3) many alpha particles were absorbed by gold nuclei
4) most of the alpha particles were not deflected

<span>Option 4 is the correct answer. Rutherford concluded that the atom's volume was mostly empty space because the stream of alpha particles he directed at the gold foil arived at his detection aparatus mostly intact, indicating that relatively few of the alpha particles had been deflected. This follows because if the atom had not been empty space then the alpha particles would have encountered resistance and gone off course.</span>

A location along stream where most erosions occur
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

At a stream's headwaters, often high in the mountains, gradients are steep. The stream moves fast and does lots of work eroding the stream bed.As a stream moves into lower areas, the gradient is not as steep. Now the stream does more work eroding the edges of its banks.

The molar mass of an unknown gas was measured by an effusion experiment. It was found that it took 60 s for the gas to effuse, w
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this problem using Graham's law that says: Rates of effusion are inversely dependent on the square of the mass of each gas. That is:

\frac{r_1}{r_2} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{M_1} }

If rate of effusion of nitrogen is Xdistance / 48s and for the unknown gas is X distance / 60s and mass of nitrogen gas is 28g/mol (N₂):

\frac{X/48s}{X/60s} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{28g/mol} }

6,61 = √M₂

44g/mol = M₂

<em>The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Is matter and mass always the same
Anna11 [10]
Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.

An excess of mg(s) is added to 100.ml of 0.400 m hcl. at 0c and 1 atm pressure, what volume of h 2 (g) can be obtained?
ra1l [238]
The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl is as follows
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to H₂ is 2:1

number of HCl moles reacted - 0.400 mol/L x 0.100 L = 0.04 mol of HCl
since Mg is in excess HCl is the limiting reactant 
number of H₂ moles formed - 0.04/2 = 0.02 mol of H₂

we can use ideal gas law equation to find the volume of H₂
PV = nRT 
where 
P - pressure - 1 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 101 325 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.02 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K
substituting these values in the equation 

101 325 Pa x V = 0.02 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K
V = 448 x 10⁻⁶ m³
V = 448 mL 
therefore answer is 
c. 448 mL

Find the final product for: Li + Br and show work.
miskamm [114]

Lithium is atomic number 3, so it has valency 1

While, Bromine is atomic number 35, and has valency 1

Lithium has an extra electron while Bromine need an electron, since they both need and have one electron, the form

LiBr (Lithium Bromide) where Li is +ve charged and Br is -ve charged

Happy to help :)
