Originally scientists believed in the plum pudding model of the atom (sphere of positive charge surrounded by smaller spheres of negative charge) then Rutherford did his scattering experiment (he shot alpha particles at a piece of gold foil some particles passed straight through the empty space of the atom, some were slightly deflected as they were closer to the atom's nucleus and some were completely reflected because they were headed in the path of the atom's nucleus

Archy [21]

Answer: A)  polar molecule  

Explanation: Polar molecules are molecules which contain atoms of different electronegativities.

Non polar molecules are molecules which contains atoms of same electronegativities.

Water is a polar covalent molecule formed by unequal sharing of electrons. Oxygen being more electronegative tend to keep the electron pair towards itself thus generating a partial negative charge. The hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge thus resulting in a polar molecule.

The bent shape is due to repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs of electrons.

Consider the chemical equation for the production of water: 2 H2+O2→2 H2O. If 100 grams of oxygen gas are used, what would the p
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The percentage yield of water is 66.67%.

Explanation:

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Mass of oxygen gas = 100 g

Moles of oxygen gas = \frac{100 g}{32 g/mol}=3.125 mol

According to reaction, 1 mole of oxygen gives 2 moles of water, then 3.125 moles of oxygen will give:

\frac{2}{1}\times 3.125 mol=6.25 mol

Mass of 6.25 moles of water :

6.25 mol × 18 g/mol = 112.5 g

Theoretical yield of water = 112.5 g

Experimental yield of water = 75 g

Percentage yield :

=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

=\frac{75 g}{112.5 g}\times 100=66.67\%

The percentage yield of water is 66.67%.

HELP ME please i need help with this

a) Natural selection will work negatively against rabbits that only eat berries as the drought is preventing berries from growing. It wont have any negative impact on rabbits that only eat grass as the grass is still surviving.

b) The statement ‘population has variations’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits eat different things. They aren’t all the same. The statement ‘some variations are favorable’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat grass are able to survive the drought. Their variation in eating grass instead of berries let’s them live. The statement ‘a population will change over time’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat berries will die out. This will not only change the size of the population but going forward will create a population that has more rabbits that eat only grass on account of natural selection.

What volume of a 2.10 M NaCl solution is
cluponka [151]

Answer:

146.3g NaCl (mol NaCl/58.44g NaCl) = 2.50 mol NaCl

1.5M NaCl = 1.5 mol NaCl / 1 L = 2.5 mol NaCl / x L, solve for x

x L = 2.5 mol NaCl / 1.5 mol NaCl = 1.66 L

It gives the answer and all the working.

To put it another way:

Dividing the amount required by the molar mass

we quickly see that 2.5 moles are required.

One litre of 1.5 molar solution gives 1.5 moles

we need a further mole, which is 2/3 of 1.5 so 2/3 of a litre.
