<span>Divide each % value by respective atomic mass  
Mn = 63.0/54.94 = 1.1467 
O = 37/16 =2.3125 
Divide by smaller value 
Mn = 1  
O = 2.3125/1.1467 = 2 Empirical formula = MnO2</span>

What is the molar mass of a gas if 0.281 g of the gas occupies a volume of 125 ml at a temperature 126 °c and a pressure of 777
AleksAgata [21]
<em>Answer :</em> 72.05 g/mol
<span>
<em>Explanation : </em>

Let's </span>assume that the given gas is an ideal gas. Then we can use ideal gas equation,<span>
PV = nRT<span>
</span>
Where, 
P = Pressure of the gas (Pa)
V = volume of the gas (m³)
n = number of moles (mol)
R = Universal gas constant (8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹)<span>
T = temperature in Kelvin (K)
<span>
The given data for the gas </span></span>is,<span>
P = 777 torr = 103591 Pa
V = </span>125 mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³<span>
T = (</span>126 + 273<span>) = 399 K
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
n = ?

By applying the formula,
103591 Pa x  </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 399 K<span>
                                          n = 3.90 x 10</span>⁻³<span> mol

</span>Moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)<span>

Mass of the gas = </span><span>0.281 g
</span>Moles of the gas = 3.90 x 10⁻³ mol
<span>Hence,
   molar mass of the gas = mass / moles
                                          = 0.281 g / </span>3.90 x 10⁻³ mol
<span>                                          = 72.05 g/mol

</span>

The “fatal flaw” in Rutherford’s model of the atom was the idea that if the electrons were ________.
Wittaler [7]
The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.
