Answer is: Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

An unknown liquid has a mass of 30.8 g, and a volume of 31.5 mL. What is the density of this liquid?
julsineya [31]

The density of the liquid is 0.98 g/mL

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Density = mass / volume

With the above formula, we can obtain the density of the liquid.

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>
  • Mass = 30.8 g
  • Volume = 31.5 mL
  • Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density of liquid = 30.8 / 31.5

Density of liquid = 0.98 g/mL

How would using a wider cuvette affect absorbance?
IgorC [24]
The width of the cuvette is important in the spectrophotometric analysis since wider cuvette<span> translates to more absorbing species present in the path where light passes, hence more absorbance is read in the analysis. other factors include the concentration of the sample and the species itself present.</span>
