Claim The student hopes the samples are gold, which has a density of 19.3 g/cm3 . A local geologist suggested that samples might

Answer:

Pyrite.

Explanation:

In this case, for the given samples, we compute the densities considering that the volume of each sample is computed by the difference between the volume of the water + sample and the volume of water:

\rho_1=\frac{50.25g}{(60.3-50.1)mL}=4.92g/mL\\ \\\rho_2=\frac{63.56g}{(62.5-49.8)mL}=5.01g/mL\\\\\rho_3=\frac{g}{(61.5-50.2)mL}=5.10g/mL\\\\\rho_4=\frac{55.35g}{(56.7-45.6)mL}=4.99g/mL\\\\\rho_5=\frac{74.92g}{(65.3-50.3)mL}=4.99g/mL\\\\\rho_6=\frac{67.78g}{(60.8-47.5)mL}=5.10g/mL

Therefore, since the density of the samples are closer to the density of pyrite (5.01 g/cm³) we conclude that the samples are more like to be pyrite.

Best regards.

3. What is the mass of an object with a volume of 4 L and a density of 1.25 g/mL?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

5000g

Explanation:

mass= density × volume

Since the unit of density here is g/mL, we need to convert the volume to mL.

1L= 1000mL

4L= 4 ×1000 = 4000 mL

Mass of object

= 1.25 ×4000

= 5000g

Based on the article "Will the real atomic model please stand up?,” describe one major change that occurred in the development o
nydimaria [60]
I don't know this article, but I do know some major changes: first, the change from the plum pudding model (no nucleus, just electrons) to the gold foil experiment, which had Rutherford shoot alpha particles at a sheet of gold only to find them rebounding, proving the existence of a positively charged mass, i.e a nucleus, in the atom. However, this changed again when Bohr realized that the negatively charged electrons should be attracted to the positively charged center, so that there must be something else inside the nucleus.

The emission spectrum of hydrogen shows discrete, bright, colored lines. Which characteristic of the Bohr model is best supporte
natali 33 [55]
The characteristic of the Bohr model that would best support his observation is this assumption: "The energy of the electron in an orbit is proportional to its distance from the nucleus. The further the electron is from the nucleus, the more energy it has." The discrete, bright, colored lines might represent the electrons and its distance from the nucleus. The lights are caused by the energy it has.
