Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Ernest Rutherford.

Explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of matter which was earlier thought to be indestructible but later new findings suggested that atom contains sub-atomic particles.

The arrangements of these sub-atomic particles in an atom were represented by many models, best accepted of which is presented by Ernest Rutherford in 1911.

His experimental findings concluded that a dense heavy nucleus is present in the center of an atom which is surrounded by a negatively charged nucleus.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+ + C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2 + H2O ⇄ HC2O4- + OH-

In water the salt is basic. The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4- + H2O ⇄ H2C2O4 + OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4 + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + HC2O4-

HC2O4- + H2O ⇄ H3O+ C2O4-2

The HC2O4- acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.

Why was it important to establish the Clean Air Act?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Clean Air Act was enacted in 1973 and brought to action in 1990. The act was passed to supervise air emissions to ensure clean air and atmosphere for people. The act was passed in the wake of premature deaths of hundred of thousands people. The act works with NAAQS to ensure safe and clean air for the safety of public health.

<u>From the given options the correct one is C. The Clean Air Act supervises the activities which emits air and any activities that is found to pollute the air will be labelled as illegal</u>.

Therefore, option C is correct.

Which of the following are strong electrolytes? Hcl hc2h3o2 nh3 kcl

Arturiano [62]

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

HCl and KCl

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

Strong electrolytes are strong bases and acids.
HCl is a strong acid; it dissociates completely to form H+ and Cl- ions. Thus, it is a strong, rather than weak, electrolyte.
CH3COOH is acetic acid, a weak acid. Only some of it will dissociate (to H+ and acetate ions), thus, it will only be a weak electrolyte.
NH3 will react with water as a weak base: NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH-. It will thus also be a weak electrolyte.
KCl is a soluble ionic compound, and as such, it will be a strong electrolyte.

Change these word equations into formula equations and balance them. Be sure to use the proper symbols to indicate the state of

Ket [755]

Answer:

See detailed reaction equations below

Explanation:

a) Mg(s) +2HBr(aq) ----------------> MgBr2(aq) + H2(g)

b) Ca(ClO3)2(s) ------------> CaCl2(s) + 3O2(g)

c) 3BaBr2(s) +2Na3PO4(aq) ------------> Ba3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaBr(aq)

d) 3AgNO3(aq) + AlI3(aq) --------------> 3AgI(s) + Al(NO3)3(aq)

Balancing reaction equations involves taking valencies and number of atoms of each element on the reactants and products side into consideration respectively.
