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.

TIMED PLS HELP AND WILL GIVE BRAINLIST
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

19.4 g of alum, will be its theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2 Al + 2 KOH + 4 H₂SO₄ + 22H₂O → 3H₂ + 2KAl(SO₄)₂•12H₂O

Let's determine the amount of acid.

M are the moles contained in 1 L of solution or it can be mmoles that are contained in 1 mL of solution

M = mmol /mL

M . mL = mmol

We replace: 8.3 mL . 9.9 M = 82.17 mmoles

We convert to moles: 82.17 mmol . 1 mol / 1000mmol = 0.082 moles

Ratio is 4:2

4 moles of sulfuric acid can make 2 moles of alum

By the way, 0.082 moles of acid may produce ( 0.082 . 2) /4 = 0.041085 moles.

We convert moles to mass:

Molar mass of alum is: 473.52 g/mol.

0.041085 moles . 473.52 g/mol = 19.4 g

A certain reaction is thermodynamically favored at temperatures below 400. K, but it is not favored at temperatures above 400. K
Ilya [14]

Answer:

-0.050 kJ/mol.K

Explanation:

  • A certain reaction is thermodynamically favored at temperatures below 400. K, that is, ΔG° < 0 below 400. K
  • The reaction is not favored at temperatures above 400. K, that is. ΔG° > 0 above 400. K

All in all, ΔG° = 0 at 400. K.

We can find ΔS° using the following expression.

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

0 = -20 kJ/mol - 400. K .ΔS°

ΔS° = -0.050 kJ/mol.K

<span>Physical change, heat caused this.

Water molecules that only vibrate are in solid form. If heat energy is added, the molecules will speed up their vibrations until they can break loose from the organized pattern of a solid and begin to slide over each other, changing to liquid state. If more heat energy is added, the molecules will speed up more and move randomly in all directions as a gas/vapor. Removing heat energy will reverse these changes.
