Answer:

A: Electrons are scattered in an atom.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment which gave a deeper perspective into what an atom really is. In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with an alpha particle source.

From the behavior of the alpha particles that associated with the gold foil, a number of conclusions were drawn:

He suggested that an atom has a small positively charged nucleus where the bulk of the atomic mass is concentrated.
Surrounding the nucleus is a large space which contains the electrons.

how much heat, in terms in q, would it take to produce the change in temperature indicated in the picture? what is your reasonin

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

1. q.

2. 2q.

3. 3q.

4. 6q.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the specific heat capacity of the liquid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 25 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Heat (Q) = q

Specific heat capacity (C) =?

Q = MCΔT

q = 25 × C × 20

q = 500C

Divide both side by 500

C = q/500

C = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of liquid is 2×10¯³ qg°C

Now, we shall determine the heat required to produce the various change in temperature as follow:

2. Mass (m) = 50 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 20 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 2×10¯³ × 20

Q = 2q.

Therefore, the heat required is 2q.

3. Mass (m) = 25 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 25 × 2×10¯³ × 60

Q = 3q.

Therefore, the heat required is 3q.

4. Mass (m) = 50 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 60 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2×10¯³ qg°C

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 2×10¯³ × 60

Q = 6q.

Therefore, the heat required is 6q.

Explain in words or using your diagrams how beryllium atoms would react with fluorine atoms.

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

To delineate the the nature of the bonds that would be formed between the two elements, let us first write the electronic configuration of the two species;

Be = 2, 2

F = 2, 7

Beryllium is a metal with two valence electrons whereas fluorine is a halogen with seven valence electrons.

When Be loses two electrons it becomes isoelectronic with He;

Be → Be²⁺ + 2e⁻

Also, when fluorine gains an electron, it becomes isoelectronic with Ne;

F + e⁻ → F⁻

This loss and gain of electrons between the two elements creates an electrostatic attraction them and they enter into an electrovalent bond.

Hence;

Be²⁺ + 2F⁻ → BeF₂

Consider the following reaction: 2CH3OH ---> 2CH4+O2 delta H= +252.8kJ. Calculate the amount of heat transferred when 22.0g o

nydimaria [60]

To calculate the amount of heat transferred when an amount of reactant is decomposed, we must look at the balanced reaction and its corresponding heat of reaction. In this case, we can see that 252.8 kJ of heat is transferred per 2 moles of CH3OH used. When 22 g of CH3OH is used, 86.9 kJ is absorbed.

Select all statements that are correct:____

topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

$P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}$

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.
