In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, some of those particles were deflected back towards him and off to the side. This told him that the protons and electrons were not evenly dispersed. However, the particles that did pass through did so because the protons are located in a concentrated area in the center of the atom, and the electrons are dispersed in the empty space around it. At least, that is what Rutherford determined

<u>Answer:</u> The empty space in the nucleus let the particles pass through without any deflection.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rutherford gave an experiment which is known as gold foil experiment.

In this experiment, he took a gold foil and bombarded it with the alpha particles that carries positive charge of 2 units. He expected that the particles will pass straight through the foil, but to his surprise, some of them deflected their path and a few of them bounced back.

From this he gave a result that an atom consist of empty space and also has a small positive charge which is present at the center. Due to this positive charge, the alpha particles deflected their path and some of them bounced straight back from their path.

As, the atom consist of alot of empty space. Thus, the alpha particles passed straight through without any deflection.

Based on the balanced chemical equation shown below, determine the mass percent of Fe3+ in a 0.6450 g sample of iron ore, if 22.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

38.9%

Explanation:

below, determine the mass percent of Fe3+ in a 0.6450 g sample of iron ore, if 22.40 mL of a 0.1000 M stannous chloride, SnCl2(aq), solution is required to completely react with the Fe3+ present in the ore sample. The chemical equation for the reaction is

2 Fe3+ (aq) + Sn2+ (aq) →2Fe2+ (aq) + Snº+(aq).

O 19.40%

O 6.196%

O 38.79%

O 9.697%

 2 Fe3+ (aq) + Sn2+ (aq) →2Fe2+ (aq) + Snº+(aq).ole of Sn2+

for every mole of Sn2+, tere are 2 moles of Fe3+

  1. 22.4/1000L of 0.1000 M Sn2+ = 22.4 X 0.10/1000 = 0.00224 mole

so there are 0.00224 X 2= 0.00448 moles Fe3+

iron atomic mass is 56

56 X 0.00448 = 0.251 gm Fe3+

so the mass % of the Fe3+ in the 0.645 gm iron ore sample is

(0.251/0.645) X 100 = 38.9%

One cubic millimeter (mm3) of blood contains 7.0 x 106 red blood cells. How many red blood cells are in 1.0 L of blood?
just olya [345]
The question gives us a conversion factor---> 1 mm3= 7.0 x 10^6 RBC. so, to find how many red blood cells we have, we first need to convert the Liters to cm3 using this conversion factor--> 1 mL= 1 cm3

i have attached how to solve this problem.
