Answer:

  • <em>1. The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus.</em>

<em />

  • <em>3. Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.</em>

<em />

  • <em>4. The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space.</em>

<em />

  • <em>6. The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.</em>

Explanation:

When J.J Thmpson discovered the electron, he depicted the atom by the plum pudding model: a solid dough of homogeneously distributed positive charge (the pudding) containing negatively charged electrons (the plums).

Later, the scientist <em>Ernest Rutherford</em>, with its experiment of the gold foil experiment showed that the subatomic particles where not all concentrated in a solid part.

When a thin gold foil was bombarded with alpha particles (positively charged nuclei of helium atoms), most of the particles went through the gold sheet, with little deviation, but some particles bounded with a high deviation.

Such few high deviations were explained by the fact that there was a heavy region in the atom (the core or nucleus) with the positive charge that repelled the positively charged alpha particles.

Thus, <em>the mass of the atom was conentrated at the nucleus</em> (choice 1), where the positive charge is distributed in one location, which is the nucleus (not over the entire atom, just on the nucleus) discarding the choice number 2 (that a positive charge is spread equally over the atom) and proving choices 3 (<em>the positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom</em>) and 6 (<em>the atom contains a positively charged nucleus</em>).

Since most of the particles indeed went through the nucleus, this nucleus has to  occupy little space, and most of the atom was empty space, proving choice 4 (<em>the majority of the space inside the atom is empty space</em>).

Why is it important for science to keep testing a hypothesis even after they’ve found it to be true?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Repeated tests help determine whether the hypothesis is always true in different circumstances. Repeatedly testing a hypothesis qualifies it to be accepted as a theory.

The titration of Na2CO3 with HCl has the following qualitative profile: a. Identify the major species in solution at points A-F.
exis [7]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks very important data to solve this question. But I have found the similar question which shows the profiles about which question discusses. Using the data from that question, I have solved the question.

a) We need to find the major species from A to F.

Major Species at A:

1. Na_{2} CO_{3}

Major Species at B:

1. Na_{2} CO_{3}

2. NaHCO_{3}

Major Species at C:

1. NaHCO_{3}

Major Species at D:

1. NaHCO_{3}

2. H_{2}CO_{3}

Major Species at E:

1. H_{2}CO_{3}

Major Species at F:

1. H_{2}CO_{3}

b) pH calculation:

At Halfway point B:

pH = pKa_{1} + log[CO_{3}.^{-2}]/[HCO_{3}.^{-1}]

pH = pKa_{1} = 6.35

Similarly, at halfway point D.  

At point D,

pH = pKa_{2} + log [HCO_{3}.^{-1}]/[H2CO_{3}]

pH = pKa_{2} = 10.33
