How did Thomson discover the electron?

1 answer:

4 0

J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is cathode to the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.

If you have 10cm of snow with a volume of 40mL and a density of 0.5 g/mL how many inches of rain is this?

Lelu [443]

Density is the mass of compound divided by its volume can be shown as follows:

$d = 0.5 g /mL = m /V = m /40 = 0.5$

$m = 20 g$

40 mL of snow having 20 g of mass calculated from density.

Now, 10 cm of snow = 3.93 inches = 20 g

As, 10 inches of rain will produce 11 inches of ice as the volume of ice is bigger than rain water.

10 inches rain = 11 inches snow

3.93 inches of snow produced by

$= (3.93 * 10) /11 = 3.57 inches rain.$

Thus, 3.57 incehs of rain produces by 10 cm snow.

The density of no2 in a 4.50 l tank at 760.0 torr and 25.0 Â°c is ________ g/l.

kap26 [50]

From ideal gas equation that is PV=nRT
n(number of moles)=PV/RT
P=760 torr
V=4.50L
R(gas constant =62.363667torr/l/mol
T=273 +273=298k
n is therefore (760torr x4.50L) /62.36367 torr/L/mol x298k =0.184moles
the molar mass of NO2 is 46 therefore density= 0.184 x 46=8.464g/l
