How did Thomson measure the charge to mass ratio of the electron? a.He shot helium nuclei into gold foil to measure the nuclei s

cattering against electrons within. b.He passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection. c.He suspended a drop of oil between electrodes to measure the electric field from the electrons. d. He measured very precisely a known quantity of hydrogen atoms and calculated the reduced mass ratio within each atom.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "He passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection".

Explanation:

J. J. Thomson was a notorious scientist that did not only made the discovery of the electron, but he measure its charge to mass ratio. In order to determine this property, Thomson passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection. Cathode rays are actually composed of particles, which are now known as electrons, and its charge to mass ratio is about 10^8 coulomb per gram.

Lt takes 4 hr 39 min for a 2.00-mg sample of radium-230 to decay to 0.25 mg. what is the half-life of radium-230?
Rufina [12.5K]
Radioactive decay => C = Co { e ^ (- kt) |

Data:

Co = 2.00 mg
C = 0.25 mg
t = 4 hr 39 min

Time conversion: 4 hr 39 min = 4.65 hr

1) Replace the data in the equation to find k

C = Co { e ^ (-kt) } => C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln { C / Co} => kt = ln {Co / C}

=> k = ln {Co / C} / t =  ln {2.00mg / 0.25mg} / 4.65 hr = 0.44719

2) Use C / Co  = 1/2 to find the hallf-life

C / Co = e ^ (-kt) => -kt = ln (C / Co)

=> -kt = ln (1/2) => kt = ln(2) => t = ln (2) / k

t = ln(2) / 0.44719 = 1.55 hr.

Answer: 1.55 hr

Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an<br> unknown chemical?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

Answer:
               Cp  =  0.093 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹
Solution:

The equation used for this problem is as follow,

                                                  Q  =  m Cp ΔT   ----- (1)

Where;
            Q  =  Heat  =  300 J

            m  =  mass  =  267 g

            Cp  =  Specific Heat Capacity  =  ??

            ΔT  =  Change in Temperature  =  12 °C

Solving eq. 1 for Cp,

                                 Cp  =  Q / m ΔT


Putting values,
                                 Cp  =  300 J / (267 g × 12 °C)

                                 Cp  =  0.093 J.g⁻¹.°C⁻¹
