3.4 X 10^-2 because you start your equation with 2.5g in your (what we call train tracks). Then you have to find the GFM (gram formula mass) of KCl (potassium chloride). You find this by adding the average atomic mass of each element. Potassium's is 39.10 and Chlorine's is 35.45 which gives you a total of 74.55 grams per mol. so now that you have found the GFM you plug that number into the diagonal bottom in order to cancel the gram units. Then you would place 1 mol KCl on top because that is the unit you want. Finally you will divide your original 2.5 by the GFM of 74.55 to get an answer of 0.033534 mol KCl... but since sig figs matter your final  answer will be 3.4 X 10^-2

How did Rutherford's gold foil experiment show that Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was
Ket [755]

Answer:

He blasted alpha rays at the gold foils. The Alpha rays are charged positive. When he blasted them the protons deflected and changed the course of them and the electrons surrounding the atom let them through. In the plum pudding model they were supposed to be sprinkled on which was clearly wrong according to that experiment.

Which one of the following would have the largest dispersion forces?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

A) CH3CH2SH

Explanation:

Dispersion forces are weak attractions found between non-polar and polar molecules. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a  non-polar molecule sometimes become polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant. If this happens, the molecule has a temporary dipole. This dipole can induce the neighbouring molecules to be distorted and form dipoles as well. The attractions between these dipoles constitute the Dispersion Forces.

Therefore; the greater the molar mass of a compound or molecule, the higher the Dispersion Force. This implies that the compound or molecule with the highest molar mass have the largest dispersion forces.

Now; for option (A)

CH3CH2SH

The molar mass is :

= (12 + (1 × 3 ) +12 + (1 ×2) + 32+1)

= (12 + 3+ 12 + 2 + 32 + 1)

= 62 g/mol

For option (B)

CH3NH2

The molar mass is:

= (12 + (1 ×  3 ) +14 + (1 ×  2)

= (12 + 3 + 14 + 2)

= 31 g/mol

For option (C)

CH4

The molar mass is :

= 12 + (1 × 4)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

For option (D)

CH3CH3

The molar mass is :

= 12 + ( 1 × 3 ) + 12 + ( 1 × 3)

= 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

= 30 g/mol

Thus ; option (A) has the highest molar mass, as such the largest dispersion force is A) CH3CH2SH

During the nuclear fission process, the transformation between a parent and daughter isotope involves a a release of neutrons an
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The energy harnessed in nuclei is released in nuclear reactions. Fission is the splitting of a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei and fusion is the combining of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus. The consequence of fission or fusion is the absorption or release of energy.
