Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, so they are positively charged. In Rutherford's experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. However, occasionally the alpha particles were deflected in their paths, and rarely the alpha particles were deflected backward at a 180 degree angle.

Since like charges repel, Rutherford concluded that the cause of the deflections of the positively charged alpha particles had to be something within the atom that was also positively charged. Rutherford concluded from his metal foil experiments that most of an atom is empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center that contains most of the mass of the atom.

What is the source of Earth's magnetic field according to what you have read in chapter 222
horsena [70]

Answer:

Scientists know that today the Earth's magnetic field is powered by the solidification of the planet's liquid iron core. The cooling and crystallization of the core stirs up the surrounding liquid iron, creating powerful electric currents that generate a magnetic field stretching far out into space.

Mercury can be obtained by reacting mercury(I) sulfide with calcium oxide. How many grams of calcium oxide are needed to produce
OLga [1]
First, 55 g of Hg is 3.65 moles because one mole of Hg has a molar mass of 200.59

Then, the mole ratio of Hg to CaO is 8:4 or 2:1. SO we divide 3.65 by 2 to get 1.82 moles of CaO

This is the same as 102.06 grams because one mole of CaO has a molar mass of 56.0774

Hope this helps!

Convert 18.9 moles to MgCl2 to formula units
Masja [62]

Answer:

18.9 moles of MgCl2 = 17.834 kg of MgCl2

Explanation:

The molecular weight of MgCl is 80.0 g/mol . So, to convert the given mole amount to grams, multiply this by this number, which is constant for all compounds with a specific composition (mass fraction).

Considering the original question was in the context of chemistry, I wanted to make it seem formal and more educational too. Hopefully that worked!  

EDIT: Came up with some text around what happens inside cells that would have made it better if someone just had an issue converting units, but I doubt my answer will be accepted >.<
