Answer:

D.)Most of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus.

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted his famous gold foil experiment which refined our understanding of the structure of an atom. Through the experiment he observed that when positively charged alpha particles were bombarded against a thin gold foil, majority of them passed through the foil undisturbed whereas a small percentage retraced their path.

There were two main conclusions:

-Since most alpha particles simply passed through undeviated this suggested that majority of the space inside the atom is empty

- Also, since some of them completely bounced back this suggested that there is a positively charged core in which the mass of the nucleus is concentrated.

Water was added to 175mL of a KOH solution until the volume was 250 mL and the molarity was 0.315 M. What was the molarity of th
timama [110]

Answer:

0.45 M

Explanation:

Now we need to make use of the dilution formula

C1V1= C2V2

C1= initial molarity of the solution which is the unknown

V1 = initial volume of the solution which is 175 ml

C2 =final molarity of the solution= 0.315 M

V2= final volume of solution= 250 ml

From C1V1= C2V2 we have;

C1= C2V2/V1

C1= 0.315 × 250/ 175

C1= 0.45 M
