Why is it important for scientists to replicate each other’s experiments?

1 answer:

6 0

Getting the same result when an experiment is repeated is called replication. ... Replication is important in science so scientists can “check their work.” The result of an investigation is not likely to be well accepted unless the investigation is repeated many times and the same result is always obtained.

What is a positive ion?

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

If the atom has more electrons than protons, it is a negative ion or ANION. If it has more protons than electrons, it is a positive ion.

Explanation:

Positive ions are typically metals or act like metals. Many common materials contain these ions. Mercury is found in thermometers, for instance, and aluminum is a metal that is found in a surprising amount of things.

Which of the following is NOT true regarding Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment?

erastova [34]

Answer:

The area around the nucleus must be of low mass.

Explanation:

Rutherford`s experiment showed that there are some positive charges in the center of the atoms, and because they are all together, they will give a great mass to the atom.

It was quite different from Thomson`s experiment, in which it was thought that the negative charges were mixed with the positive charges, around the atom (like a Pudding Model). In Rutherford`s experiment, because the direction of beta particles, it was the prediction of the positive nucleus.

Hope this info is useful.

How many grams of h2 will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium

Explanation:

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) you can see that the following amounts in moles of each compound react and are produced:

HCl: 2 moles
Na: 1 mole
NaCl: 2 moles
H₂: 1 mole

You know the following masses of each element:

H: 1 g/mole
Cl: 35.45 g/mole
Na: 23 g/mole

So, the molar mass of each compound participating in the reaction is:

HCl: 1 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 36.45 g/mole
Na: 23 g/mole
NaCl: 23 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 58.45 g/mole
H₂: 2* 1 g/mole= 2 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts in grams of each of the compounds participating in the reaction react and are produced:

HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
Na: 1 mole* 23 g/mole= 23 g
NaCl: 2 moles* 58.45 g/mole= 116.9 g
H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g

So, a rule of three applies as follows: if by stoichiometry, when reacting 72.9 grams of HCl 2 grams of H₂ are formed, when reacting 175 grams of HCl how much mass of H₂ will be formed?

$mass of H_{2} =\frac{175 g of HCl*2g ofH_{2} }{72.9 g of HCl}$

mass of H₂= 4.8 g

<u><em>4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium</em></u>

in rutherford's gold foil experiment a very small number of alpha particles were deflected. what about the structure of the atom

zvonat [6]

Answer:The atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles were deflected by large angles (> 4°) as they passed through the foil. There is a concentration of positive charge in the atom. Like charges repel, so the positive alpha particles were being repelled by positive charge
