Chemistry
1 answer:
Dafna1 [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. He shot tiny alpha particles through a piece of gold foil.

Explanation:

In the year 1911, Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment which gave a deeper perspective to the structure of an atom.

He simply collided a thin gold foil with an alpha particle which he generated from a radioactive source. He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil but a few were deflected back. His discovery led to the proposition of the nuclear model of the atom.

How would you measure the pH of a coloured substance such as red ink.why?
earnstyle [38]
There are 3 possible ways of determining pH.
1. A pH meter, 2. Litmus paper/ pH test strips or 3. Titrations. 

1. A pH meter works by sending a small electric current through the solution. An electrical current can only be created if there are free-moving particles such as H+ ions from an acid or OH- ions from a base. The pH meter can determine the pH by how high the conductivity is. 

2. Litmus Paper or pH test strips are strips that turn a specific colour under a specific pH. This colour can then be compared to a colour chart which will tell you the pH. The downfall of this method is that the red ink will stain the strip and you will be unable to get an accurate reading. 

3. A titration is the best method, if done properly, for determining pH.

A compound's molecular formula must always be different than the compound's empirical formula. TRUE FALSE
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Example: CH_4 has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.

C_2H_2 has molecular formula of C_2H_2 but CH as the empirical formula.

A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 69.0 moles of hydrogen in a sample of methyl tert-butyl ether.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>5.75 moles The formula for methyl tert-butyl ether is (CH3)3COCH3, so a single molecule has 5 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 1 oxygen atoms. So for every 12 moles of hydrogen, there's 1 mole of oxygen. So simply divide the number of moles of hydrogen by 12 to get the number of moles of oxygen. 69.0 / 12 = 5.75 Therefore there's 5.75 moles of oxygen in the sample.</span>
