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.

<span> "B. Empty space around the nucleus"
because of this empty space, most radiated particles can pass </span>straight through, while the others get propelled in different directions.

Answer:

Ok so,  b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...

i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive  potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced

ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.

iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell

Look up the reduction potential,

E

⁰

red

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials

Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,

E

⁰

ox

=

-

E

⁰

red

.

iv. What kind of electrochemical cell is this? Explain your answer.

All parts in the electrochemical cells are labeled in second figure. Following are the part in electrochemical cells

1) Anode 2) Cathode 3) gold Stripe (Electrode) 4) Aluminium Glasses (Electrode) 5) Connecting wires 6) Battery

What volume is occupied by 18.4 g oxygen at 28.0°C and a pressure of 0.998 torr? (round to sig figs)
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

11.0 dm³

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV= nRT............... Equation 1

Where P = pressure of oxygen gas, V = volume of oxygen gas, n = number of moles of oxygen, R = molar constant, T = Temperature.

make V the subeject of the equation

V = nRT/P............. Equation 2

But,

Number of mole (n) = Mass of oxygen(m)/Molar mass of oxygen(m')

n = m/m'....................... Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

V = mRT/Pm'............. Equation 4

Given: T = 28°C = (28+273) = 301 K, P = 0.998 torr = (0.998×0.00131579) = 1.3132 atm, m = 18.4 g

Constant: R = 0.082 atm.dm³/K.mol, m' = 32 g/mol.

Substitute these values into equation 4

V = (301×18.4×0.082)/(32×1.3132)

V = 454.1488/42.0224

V = 10.81 dm³

V = 11.0 dm³
