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

Trava [24]

Answer:

0.779 moles.

Explanation:

Mass of chlorine/number of moles = molar mass of chlorine.

Molar mass of chlorine = (35.5*2)

= 71 g/mol.

Mass = 55.3 g of chlorine.

Number of moles = 55.3/71

= 0.779 moles.

What did Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms ?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Their positive charge is located in the small nucleus

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1911 where he used alpha particles generated from a radioactive source to bombard a thin gold foil.

In his experiment, he observed that the bulk of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, just a tiny fraction was deflected back. To explain his findings, Rutherford proposed that an atom is made of positively charged centre where nearly all the mass is concentrated called nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus is a large space containing electrons.

erica [24]

Answer:

1) conduction

2) Radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer by which heat energy is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles of the material remaining the same.

Radiation is a process of heat transfer by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler point without any intervening medium.

The pan used to fry the egg is a conductor of heat hence heat can pass through it by conduction thereby enabling the eggs to cook.

Heat can travel without an intervening medium hence Zoe feels hot near the stove. This ability of the heat to travel without an intervening medium is called radiation.
