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.

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign shown below is $3.50 per square foot. How much, to the nearest dollar, will it co
KiRa [710]

The cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign is given as 3.50 dollar per square feet. The diameter of the traffic sign is 36 inch, then its radius will be \frac{36}{2} = 18 inches.

But as the cost is given in unit of feet, we have to convert the radius from inches to feet.

1 inches = 0.0833 feet

18 inches = 18 × 0.0833 feet

So, the radius of the traffic sign will be approximately equal to 1.5 feet.

The area of the traffic sign will be \pi r^{2} = 3.14 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 = 7.065 square feet.

So, if the cost of painting 1 square feet of traffic sign is 3.50 dollar, then

cost of painting 7.065 square feet of traffic sign =  3.50 × 7.065 = 24.7 dollar.

Thus, the cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

A chemist adds 0.50L of a 0.485 M copper(II) sulfate CuSO4 solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the millimoles of copper(II)
den301095 [7]

Explanation:

It is given that volume is 0.50 L and molarity is 0.485 M. Hence, number of millimoles will be calculated as follows.

               Number of millimoles = Molarity × Volume

As there are 1000 mL in 1 L. So, 0.50 L equals 500 mL.

Therefore, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

             Number of millimoles = Molarity × Volume

                                                 = 0.485 M × 500 mL      

                                                 = 242.5

Thus, we can conclude that 242.5 millimoles of copper(II) sulfate has been added by the chemist to the flask.
