I've actually used the magnet test to determine if a gold necklace of mine was real or not. If the gold item aka the crown is attracted to a magnet, it is definitely not real gold.if it isn't then its real gold.
Explanation:
Deliquescent substances are solids that absorb moisture from the atmosphere until they dissolve in the absorbed water and form solutions. Efflorescent: Efflorescent substances are solids that can undergo spontaneous loss of water from hydrated salts.
Answer:The process of science is iterative.
Science circles back on itself so that useful ideas are built upon and used to learn even more about the natural world. This often means that successive investigations of a topic lead back to the same question, but at deeper and deeper levels. Let's begin with the basic question of how biological inheritance works. In the mid-1800s, Gregor Mendel showed that inheritance is particulate — that information is passed along in discrete packets that cannot be diluted. In the early 1900s, Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri (among others) helped show that those particles of inheritance, today known as genes, were located on chromosomes. Experiments by Frederick Griffith, Oswald Avery, and many others soon elaborated on this understanding by showing that it was the DNA in chromosomes which carries genetic information. And then in 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick, again aided by the work of many others, provided an even more detailed understanding of inheritance by outlining the molecular structure of DNA. Still later in the 1960s, Marshall Nirenberg, Heinrich Matthaei, and others built upon this work to unravel the molecular code that allows DNA to encode proteins. And it doesn't stop there. Biologists have continued to deepen and extend our understanding of genes, how they are controlled, how patterns of control themselves are inherited, and how they produce the physical traits that pass from generation to generation. The process of science is not predetermined.
Any point in the process leads to many possible next steps, and where that next step leads could be a surprise. For example, instead of leading to a conclusion about tectonic movement, testing an idea about plate tectonics could lead to an observation of an unexpected rock layer. And that rock layer could trigger an interest in marine extinctions, which could spark a question about the dinosaur extinction — which might take the investigator off in an entirely new direction. At first this process might seem overwhelming. Even within the scope of a single investigation, science may involve many different people engaged in all sorts of different activities in different orders and at different points in time — it is simply much more dynamic, flexible, unpredictable, and rich than many textbooks represent it as. But don't panic! The scientific process may be complex, but the details are less important than the big picture …
Explanation:
Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:
- Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
- Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
- A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.
He concluded that:
<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>
Answer: 162.8 grams
Explanation:
Magnesium nitrate has a chemical formula of Mg(NO3)2.
Given that:
Number of moles of Mg(NO3)2 = 1.1 moles
Mass in grams of Mg(NO3)2 = ?
For Molar mass of Mg(NO3)2, use atomic mass of magnesium = 24g, nitrogen = 14g, oxygen = 16g
Mg(NO3)2 = 24g + (14g + 16gx3) x 2
= 24g + (14g + 48g) x 2
= 24g + (62g) x 2
= 24g + 124g
= 148g/mol
Now, apply the formula:
Number of moles = Mass in grams / molar mass
1.1 moles = Mass / 148g/mol
Mass = 1.1 moles x 148g/mol
Mass = 162.8 grams
Thus, there are 162.8 grams of magnesium nitrate.
