Describe how Rutherford's experiments changed the accepted scientific model of the atom.

1 answer:

4 0

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

Which of the following is not an example of a chemical reaction? Rust, Photosynthesis, Melting Ice, Heat from Fire?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Rust, photosynthesis, and heat from fire are all chemical reactions <span>because </span>new substances are formed and the chemical formula is changed. By doing this, bonds are broken and formed in the making of the new substance. Melting ice is physical change the molecules are still water molecules, it just changed physical form.

What speed should a satellite of mass 4,900 kg moving around

Rudiy27

Based on the calculations, the speed required for this satellite to stay in orbit is equal to 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m/kg²

Mass of Moon = 7.36 × 10²² kg

Distance, r = 4.2 × 10⁶ m.

<h3>How to determine the speed of this satellite?</h3>

In order to determine the speed of this satellite to stay in orbit, the centripetal force acting on it must be sufficient to change its direction.

This ultimately implies that, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force as shown below:

Fc = Fg

mv²/r = GmM/r²

<u>Where:</u>

m is the mass of the satellite.

M is mass of the Moon.

Making v the subject of formula, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

v = √(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 7.36 × 10²²/4.2 × 10⁶)

v = √(1,168,838.095)

v = 1,081.13 m/s.

Speed, v = 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

A teacher told a learner to react benzene (CH) with chlorine (Cl₂) to

kolezko [41]

The minimum quantity of benzene, C₆H₆ needed for the reaction is 106.67 g

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield of chlorobenzene, C₆H₅Cl</h3>

From the question given, the following data were obtained

Actual yield = 100 g
Percentage yield = 65%
Theoretical yield =?

Percentage yield = (Actual / Theoretical) × 100

65% = 100 / Theoretical

0.65 = Actual / Theoretical

Cross multiply

0.65 × Theoretical = 100

Divide both sides by 0.65

Theoretical = 100 / 0.65

Theoretical yield = 153.85 g

<h3>How to determine the mass of benzene, C₆H₆ needed</h3>

Balanced equation

C₆H₆ + Cl₂ → C₆H₅Cl + HCl

Molar mass of C₆H₆ = 78 g/mol

Mass of C₆H₆ from the balanced equation = 1 × 78 = 78 g

Molar mass of C₆H₅Cl = 112.5 g

Mass of C₆H₅Cl from the balanced equation = 1 × 112.5 = 112.5 g

SUMMARY

From the balanced equation above,

112.5 g of C₆H₅Cl were obtained from 78 g of C₆H₆

Therefore,

153.85 g of C₆H₅Cl will be produced from = (153.85 × 78) / 112.5 = 106.67 g of C₆H₆

Thus, the minimum amount of benzene, C₆H₆ needed for the reaction is 106.67 g

Does the galvanometer deflect to the left or the right when:________

igomit [66]

Complete question is;

Does the galvanometer deflect to the left or the right when

a) the magnet is being pushed in

b) the magnet is being pulled out

c) the magnet is being held steady?

Answer:

Option A - when the magnet is being pulled out

Explanation:

Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that: “Voltage is induced in a circuit whenever relative motion exists between the conductor and the magnetic field, and the magnitude of the voltage will be proportional to the rate of change of the flux”.

Now, applying it to the question, When the magnet is moved towards the sensitive center of the galvanometer and then pulled out, the needle of the galvanometer will deflect away from its center position in one direction only but when it is held steady, the needle of the galvanometer will return back to zero.
