Explanation:

Thomson's suggested the plum pudding model of the atom in which the atomic space is made up of electrons surround by positive charges.

Rutherford in his gold foil experiment revised the plum pudding model of the atom;

He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the foil while a few of them were deflected back.
To explain this observation, he suggested the atomic model of the atom.
In this model, an atom is made up of a small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
Surrounding the nucleus is the extranuclear part made up of electrons.

Why is it hotter in the summer and colder in the winter?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.

F a sample of butene (C4H8) that has a mass of 136.6 g is combusted in excess oxygen, what is the mass of CO2 that is produced?

alukav5142 [94]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

C4H8 + 6 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 4 H2O

We are given the amount of butene being combusted. This will be our starting point.

136.6 g C4H8 (1 mol C4H8/ 56.11 g C4H8) (4 mol CO2/1 mol <span>C4H8</span>) ( 44.01 g CO2/ 1 mol CO2) = 428.6 g CO2

How many moles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present in a 100-g sample of ascorbic acid?

Y_Kistochka [10]

There are:

3.41 moles of C

4.54 moles of H

3.40 moles of O.

Why?

To solve the problem, the first thing that we need to do is to write the chemical formula of the ascorbic acid.

$C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}$

Now, we know that there are 100 grams of the compound, so, the masses of each element will represent the percent in the compound.

We have that:

$C_{6}=12.0107g*6=72.08g\\\\H_{8}=1.008g*8=8.064g\\\\O_{6}=15.999g*6=95.994g\\\\C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}=72.08g+8.064g+95.994g=176.138g$

To know the percent of each element, we need to to the following:

$C=\frac{72.08g}{176.138g}*100=0.409*100=40.92(percent)\\\\H=\frac{8.064g}{176.138g}*100=4.58(percent)\\\\O=\frac{95.994}{176.138g}*100=54.49(percent)$
