Sofia is trying to find the density of a 25.0 g irregularly shaped solid. She filled a graduated cylinder with 25.0 mL of water.

After adding the solid the water rises to 56.5 mL. What is the density of the solid? Does this solid float or sink in water

The volume of the solid is
56.5 ml - 25 ml = 31.5 ml
The mass of the solid = 25g
So the density is Mass/ Volume
25/ 31.5 = 0.79 g/ml

Since the solid has a lower density (0.79 g/ml) than the density of water (1g/ml) it will float on water

Answer:  Density:  0.794 g/ml.  It would float.

Explanation:  The mass of 25.0 grams displaces (56.5 - 25.0) = 31.5 ml of water, it's volume (when submerged).  Density is mass per unit volume:

25.0 grams/31.5 ml = 0.794 g/ml

Water's density is 1 g/ml, so this obect would float.  (Don't ask me why it displaced 31.5 ml.  It won't unless it is pushed down, then the volume of the finger needs to be determined and subtracted from the calculated volume.

What are 3 reasons scientist found Rutherford's nuclear atomic model to be fundamentally incomplete
zysi [14]
The three reasons that scientists found Rutherfor's nuclear atomic model to be fundamentally incomplete are as follows:
Number 1) according to Rutherford, the electrons revolve in completely circular orbits. However, if this was true the charged electron would simply fall into the nucleus after losing energy.
Number 2) According to Rutherford's model, the nucleus itself only consisted of protons. However, as we now know due to research in quantum mechanics, if this was true this would make the atom unstable due to the cycle of attraction and repulsion.
Number 3) The neutrons which have also been discovered since to be an important part of the atom, are not mentioned at all in Rutherford's model.
