Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. Ex: Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol

Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which one element replaces a similar element within a compound.

False. What you’re describing is a displacement reaction.

Describe Rutherford's contribution to the atomic model.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Rutherford's experiment, also known as

$\alpha - scattering \: experiment$

supports the existence of neutrons and the nucleus.

Explanation:

In the above diagram, Rutherford was trying to explain his contributions using thin foils of gold and other metals as targets for alpha particles from a radioactive source.

He observed that the majority of particles penetrated the foil either undeflected or with only a slight deflection. But, every now and then an alpha particle was scattered(or deflected) at a large angle..

According to Rutherford, most of the atoms must be empty space. This explains why the majority of alpha particles passed through through the gold foil with little or no deflection. The atoms positive charges, Rutherford proposed are all concentrated in the Nucleus, which is a dense central core within the atom.

Whenever an alpha particle came close to a nucleus in the scattering experiment, it experienced a large repulsive force and therefore a large deflection. Moreover, an alpha particle coming towards a nucleus would be completely repelled and its direction would be reversed. The positively charged particles in the Nucleus are called Protons.

I hope you find this useful... Have a lovely day.

Can Someone help me pls?

Answer:

For H3O concentration you do 10^-pH so if pH is 5 then H3O+ is 10^-5= 1*10^-5 H3O+ ions

For OH is one extra step. First find H3o+ ions using equation above then you have to use that to divide 1*10^-14

So if pH is 5....the H3O+ is 1*10^-5 then OH- = (1*10^-14)/(1*10^-5) = 1*10^-9 OH ions

as far as acid/base pH 0-6 is Acid 8-14 is Base. pH of 7 is neutral. Recheck your work *hint* *hint* water is neutral. Spit is above 7 so is base.

$\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }$

$\texttt {The reaction releases energy}$ $\texttt{( - or Exothermic)}$

____________________________________

$\large \tt Explanation \: :$

Temperature of thermometer increases during the reaction, that means it receives heat. henceforth we can conclude that energy is released during the reaction that cleary mean that it's an Exothermic Reaction.
