The nucleus of an atom is dense and positively charged. What was observed when positively charged particles were radiated onto a

gold atom during Rutherford's experiment because of this?
Negative charges were concentrated at the center of the atom.
Particles that struck the center of the atom were repelled.
Particles that struck the edges of the atom were repelled.
Positive charges were distributed all over the atom.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is particles that struck the center of the atom were repelled.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

In his experiment, he took a gold foil and bombarded it with the alpha particles (carrying positive charge). These alpha particles are also known as  helium nucleus. It is represented as _2^4\alpha.

He thought that these 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 concluded that in an atom, a small positive charge in the center is present. Due to this positive charge, the alpha particles deflected their path and some of them bounced straight back from their path.

Hence, the correct answer is particles that struck the center of the atom were repelled.

What is the easiest way to explain molecular compounds and covalent bonds also adding information about valance electrons?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Molecular compounds consist of two or more nonmetals. The nonmetals that make up a molecular compound are held together by covalent/molecular bonds. Covalent bonds is known as the "sharing" of valence electrons between two or more chemical species. Valence electrons are shared so that the atoms of the compound can become stable, much like how ionic bonds transfer valence electrons between atoms to achieve stability.

A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

What is the ratio of [a–]/[ha] at ph 3.75? the pka of formic acid (methanoic acid, h–cooh) is 3.75?
Vikentia [17]

The formula for pH given the pKa and the concentrations are:

pH = pKa + log [a–]/[ha]

<span>
Therefore calculating:</span>

3.75 = 3.75 + log [a–]/[ha]

log [a–]/[ha] = 0

[a–]/[ha] = 10^0

<span>[a–]/[ha] = 1</span>

How many liters of water vapor are in 36.21 g?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

45.02 L.

Explanation:  

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of water vapor.
  • n = mass / molar mass = (36.21 g) / (18.0 g/mol) = 2.01 mol.
  • We can calculate the volume of knowing that 1.0 mole of a gas at STP occupies 22.4 L.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

1.0 mole of CO occupies → 22.4 L.

2.01 mole of CO occupies → ??? L.

∴ The volume of water vapor in 36.21 g = (22.4 L)(2.01 mole) / (1.0 mole) = 45.02 L.
