Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.

Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.

A car is traveling 83.3 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.

Leya [2.2K]

Hi. 2fouls! :)

First convert the number from kilometer to miles:
$83.3*0.62$
$=51.646 miles$

Now to find the miles per minutes,divide the miles per hours by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour.)

$51.646/60$
$=0.860766667$

The car is travelling at a speed of 0.860766667 miles/minute.

Hope this helps.

Potassium chlorate (used in fireworks, flares, and safety matches) forms oxygen and potassium chloride when heated. KClO3(s) → K

Zina [86]

Answer:

10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated

Explanation:

This is the balanced equation:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3

Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m

Let's find out the moles of salt

Mass / Molar mass

26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles

So, this is the final rule of three:

If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen

0.215 moles of KClO₃ make (0.215 .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced

Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m

Moles . molar mass = mass

0.323 m . 32g/m = 10.3 g

15.0 g of Fe and 25.0 g of sand are added to 250.0 g of water. a. Determine the percent mass of Fe, sand, and water in the mixtu

lana [24]

Answer:

A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 86.205%

B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand

Explanation:

A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:

Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g

percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%

B. Flow chart of separation procedure

(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.
