Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In Rutherford's gold foil experiment, the positively charged particles which were radiated onto a gold atom were alpha particles.

It is known that nucleus of an atom has protons and neutrons. When a beam of positively charged particles is passed through the nucleus then some of the alpha particles colloid with the protons and neutrons. Hence, they get deflected back.

Whereas some alpha particles pass through the empty space around the nucleus as a result, they pass straight past and does not get deflected.

Thus, we can conclude that when positively charged particles were radiated onto a gold atom, most of the particles went straight past due to empty space around the nucleus.

What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?
Fed [463]
The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.

A certain substance X has a normal freezing point of -6.4 C and a molal freezing point depression constant Kf= 3.96 degrees C.kg
Brut [27]

Answer:  1.0\times 10^2g

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=(-6.4-(13.6))^0C=7.2^0C = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte like urea)

K_f = freezing point constant = 3.96^0C/m

m= molality

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}

Weight of solvent (X)= 950 g = 0.95 kg  

Molar mass of non electrolyte (urea) = 60.06 g/mol

Mass of non electrolyte (urea) added = ?

7.2=1\times 3.96\times \frac{xg}{60.06 g/mol\times 0.95kg}

x=1.0\times 10^2g

Thus 1.0\times 10^2g urea was dissolved.

Which of the four solutions is the best buffer against addition of acid or base?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

b. Na2HPO4 + NaH2PO4.

A <em>buffer </em>is a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base. The weak acid is H2PO4^(-) and its conjugate base is HPO4^(2-).

All the other options are incorrect because they consist of only a single component.
