<span>It's our bodies way of telling us it is dangerous

The peripheral nervous system recognizes that we are touching something that could burn our skin and sends a rush of pain to our hand and fingers so we will pull away quickly before any damage is done to our skin.

Hope this helped. Have a great day!</span>

This is because of your sense of touch that originates from the bottom layer of skin called the dermis. The dermis tells your nerves information about what you are touching. Your nerves then send a message to your brain through your nervous system telling you the temperature (or if it is painful or has pressure) of the object. Your hands (mainly your fingertips) have more nerve endings than the rest of you, that is why they are more sensitive to touch.

An aqueous solution containing 17.5 g of an unknown molecular compound in 100.g water was found to have a freezing point of-1.8°
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 178.6 g

Explanation:

Data

ΔT = 1.8 °C

mass = 17.5 g

mass of water = 100 g

Kc = 1.86

Process

1.- Calculate the molality using the following formula

    ΔTc = mKc

solve for m

    m = ΔTc/Kc

substitution

     m = 1.8/1.86

result

     m = 0.968

2.- Calculate the number of moles

    m = # of moles/kg of solvent

kg of solvent = 0.1 kg

     # of moles = m x kg of solvent

     # of moles = 0.968 x 0.1

     # of moles = 0.0968

3.- Calculate the molar mass

        x g molar mass --------------------- 1 mol

       17.5 g                  --------------------- 0.0968 moles

       x = (1 x 17.5)/0.0968

      x = 178.6 g

Which activity best demonstrates Ernest Rutherford’s creativity?
Ber [7]

Answer is: B. designing an experiment to test the plum pudding model.

Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate, but before testing, he thought that plum pudding model is correct.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.
