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.

Answer: Theoretical mass of sodium sulphate ( Na_2SO_4 ) is 514.118 grams.

Explanation: For a given reaction,

2NaOH(aq.)+H_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(s)+2H_2O(l)

As NaOH is used in excess, therefore it is an excess reagent and H_2SO_4 is a limiting reagent as the quantity of the product will depend on it.

We are given 355 grams of H_2SO_4.

Molar mass of H_2SO_4 = 98.079 g/mol

Molar mass of Na_2SO_4 = 142.04 g/mol

1 mole of H_2SO_4 is producing 1 mole of Na_2SO_4, so

98.079 g/mol of  H_2SO_4 will produce 142.04 g/mol of Na_2SO_4

355 grams of H_2SO_4 will produce = 142.04g/mol \times \frac{355g}{98.079g/mol} of Na_2SO_4

Mass of Na_2SO_4 = 514.118 grams

What term expresses the ratio of moles of reactants and products according to the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A) mole ratio

Explanation:            

<em>A mole ratio</em>, also known as a mole-to-mole ratio, <em>is ​the ratio between the amounts in moles of one reactant/product to the moles of the other reactant/product. </em>This ratio is determined considering the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. This ratio is used in chemical problems as a conversion factor between the compounds involved in the reaction.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The mass number for an atom is numerically equal to which quantity
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in an atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

Explanation:

protons

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.
