Why did Rutherford conclude that the atom was mostly empty space?

Chemistry

olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
6 0
Rutherford came to this conclusion after his Gold-Foil experiment. He found that most of the alpha particales(when released) went straight through the gold foil, of which consisted of atoms. In the middle of the atom theres a small nucleus that has mass and positive charge. Because the nucleus is so small the alpha <span>particles were able to go straight through leading to the conclusion that atoms are mostly empty space. </span>

marishachu [46]
To answer the question above, substitute the given values to the given equation,
                                   Q(t) = Q x e^-kt
  
                          12 grams = (36 grams) x e^(-0.00011)(t)

Solving for t gives t = 9,987.38 years or approximately equal to 9,990 years. Thus, the answer is letter C.

Why is it commonly believed that carbon dioxide is responsible for global warming? Select 2 options.
monitta

Answer:

Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere have been steadily increasing.

Carbon has a longer average lifetime in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Today the level of carbon dioxide is higher than at any time in human history. Scientists widely agree that Earth’s average surface temperature has already increased by about 2 F (1 C) since the 1880s, and that human-caused increases in carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases are extremely likely to be responsible.

The lifetime in the air of CO2, the most significant man-made greenhouse gas, is probably the most difficult to determine, because there are several processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years.

Why is burning wood a chemical change?
Nitella [24]
There are 4 things that are evidence of a chemical change.
1)Change in color
2)Change in shape (gas being let out)
3)Change in temperature
4)Change in smell

Burning wood is a chemical change because it has a change in color, and shape.

How many molecules of NH3 are produced from 4.72x10 negative 4 power g of H2?
Delvig [45]
<span>9.40x10^19 molecules.
   The balanced equation for ammonia is:
 N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3
   So for every 3 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of ammonia is produced. So let's calculate the molar mass of hydrogen and ammonia, starting with the respective atomic weights:
 Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067
  Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794

   Molar mass H2 = 2 * 1.00794 = 2.01588 g/mol
 Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol

   Moles H2 = 4.72 x 10^-4 g / 2.01588 g/mol = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol
   Moles NH3 = 2.34140921086573x10^-4 mol * (2/3) = 1.56094x10^-4 mol

Now to convert from moles to molecules, just multiply by Avogadro's number: 1.56094x10^-4 * 6.0221409x10^23 = 9.400197448261x10^19
   Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 9.40x10^19 molecules.</span>

if a volume of air occupying 12.0Lat 20celsius is heated to a new temperature of 100 celsius,what would be the new volume
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

V₂ = 15.3

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 12.0 L

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature =100°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the temperature into kelvin.

20°C + 273 = 293 K

100°C + 273 = 373 K

Formula:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 12.0 L × 373 K / 293 k

V₂ = 4476 L.K /293 k

V₂ = 15.3

V₂ = 1566 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 5.3 L
