Rutherford and his colleagues fired a beam of small, positively charged alpha particles at thin gold foil. Some of these alpha p

articles were deflected at angles as they passed through the foil.
What conclusion did Rutherford and his colleagues draw from their results?
A) The atom must contain some neutral charge spread throughout the atom. He called these particles neutrons.
B) The atom must contain some centrally located negative charge. He called this core of negative charge the nucleus.
C) The atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. He called this core of positive charge the nucleus.
D) Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was correct. The atom contains positive charge spread throughout its structure.

C) The atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. He called this core of positive charge the nucleus.

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded from his experiment that the atom contains some centrally located positive charge. He called the core the nucleus.

Rutherford developed the nuclear model of the atom.

  • In a bid to explain his observation, Rutherford suggested the nuclear model.
  • The model consists of small positively charged center called the nucleus.
  • Nearly all the mass is concentrated in the nucleus.
  • The extranuclear space is made up of electrons orbiting the nucleus.

Weathering of rock and sedimentation ultimately lead to the formation of___
Inga [223]
Weathering of the rock and sedimentation are decomposition processes. Through time, the minerals in the rocks soften due to pressure and heat. So, they crumble down and reduce in terms of size. Once they do, they become sand or part of the soil. So, the answer is A.

You find a compound composed only of element "X" and hydrogen, and know that it is 91.26% element X by mass. Each molecule has 2
worty [1.4K]
Since you know the ratio of atoms, you can start to put a formula togeter. The formula might look like:<span>
X<span>H2.67 
</span></span>but since atoms can't come in fractional amounts, we have to multiply the formula by some number in order to turn 2.67 into a whole #, while still maintaining the ratio. Multiplying 2.67 by 3 yields 8, so the most likely ratio in the molecule is

X3H8<span>so the ratio of 1:2.67 is still maintained. The mass percent tells you that out of every 100g of compound, 91.26g is element X, so the other 8.74g must be H. Dividing each mass by the number of moles in the formula gets us the molar mass of each element (approximately). DIviding 8.74g by 8 gets 1.09, roughly the molar mass of hydrogen. Dividing 91.26g by 3 gets us 30.4, roughly the molar mass of phosphorus. Element X is most likely phosphorus</span>

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 226 Liters of oxygen

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

We use the equation;

LiClO4 (s) → 2O2 (g) + LiCl, to get the moles of oxygen;

Moles of  LiClO4;

(500 g LiClO4) / (106.3916 g LiClO4/mol)

= 4.6996 moles

Moles of oxygen;

But, for every 1 mol LiClO4, two moles of O2 are produced;

= 9.3992 moles of Oxygen

V = nRT / P

= (9.3992 mol) x (8.3144621 L kPa/K mol) x (21 + 273) K / (101.5 kPa)

= 226 L of oxygen
