Explain how the Rutherford gold foil experiment correctly advanced atomic theory away from the plum pudding model?

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.

A metal is found that has a mass of 27g and will displace 6mL of water. Calculate its density and identify the metal.
melisa1 [442]

The density of metal = 4.5 g/ml, and the metal = Titanium

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

ρ = density  

m = mass  

v = volume  

mass of metal=27 g

volume = 6 ml

The density :

\tt \rho=\dfrac{27}{6}\\\\\rho=4.5~g/ml

The metal with a density of 4.5 g/ml is Titanium

Three balloons filled with three different gaseous compounds each have a volume of 22.4 L at STP. Would these balloons have the
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A. No; B. yes  

Explanation:

A. Mass

The balloons contain different gases, which will have different densities.

Mass = volume × density

     m = V × D

However, the volume is the same for all three balloons.

Thus m = kD

And the mass of the gas is directly proportional to the density.

Since the density varies, the mass varies.

B. Number of molecules

This is Avogadro's Hypothesis:

At the same conditions of temperature, equal volumes of gases contain the same number of molecules.
