A general chemistry student found a chunk of metal in the basement of a friend's house. To figure out what it was, she tried the

following experiment. First she measured the mass of the metal to be 385.8 grams. Then she dropped the metal into a measuring cup and found that it displaced 17.8 mL of water. Calculate the density of the metal. Density = _______ g/mL Use the table below to decide the identity of the metal. This metal is most likely _________.
substances density g/cm3
water 1.00
aluminium 2.72
chromium 7.25
nickel 8.91
silver 10.50
lead 11.34

1. 21.67g/ml

2. aluminium

Explanation:

1. density = mass/volume

385.8/17.8= 21.67ml

2. 1g/ml=0.1g/cm^3

21.67g/ml = 2.167g/cm^3

..... substance is probably aluminium

Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.
svetlana [45]

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

What are the uses of carbon-14?
Gelneren [198K]

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope used to date organic material. Its consistent rate of decay allows the age of an object to be determined by the proportion of carbon-14 to other carbon isotopes. This process is called radiocarbon dating. Carbon-14 is also used as a radioactive tracer for medical tests.
