The conclusion about the structure of the atom as the result of the gold foil experiment is that a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by mostly empty space. The answer is number 2. Also, he concluded that an atom was not an empty space but rather, the electrons are scattered.

Answer is: 2) A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by mostly empty space.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

Air is about 78.0% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules. Several other gases make up the remaining 1% of air molecules.
sleet_krkn [62]
The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture follow the equation: P_i = x_i\cdot P_T

In case of air, at a total pressure of 1 atm, the partial fraction of nitrogen is 0,78, because x_i = \frac{78}{100} = 0,78

The partial pressure of nitrogen will be:

P_{N_2} = 0,78\cdot 1\ atm = \bf 0,78\ atm

What is the approximate percentage of corn syrup that would make an isotonic solution for the egg?
My name is Ann [436]
This can be answered when you execute the egg osmosis sample. All you have to do is submerge the egg in the corn syrup. Since the corn syrup is more concentrated than the egg, the solute would pass through the egg's cellular membrane. In exchange, the water from the egg would go to the syrup. It will achieve equilibrium when both the egg and the corn syrup would have equal osmotic pressures. <em>The solution would be isotonic at approximately 42% corn syrup.</em>
