Why did most of the alpha particles go straight through the gold foil in Rutherford's experiment?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andre [41]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is because the atom is mostly empty space.

Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.

Select all of the items that are true about a sample of water vapor at 101°C as it cools.
Dvinal [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) Its temperature will fall continuously until it condensed into a liquid.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Steam or water vapor is the gaseous state of liquid water.  When water vapor above a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius is cooled, the temperature falls continuously, and it undergoes condensation at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius and turns into liquid water.</u></em>
  • The change of state from gaseous to liquid state occurs as a result of latent heat of vaporization that the water vapor carries.

A certain gas is present in a 15.0 LL cylinder at 2.0 atmatm pressure. If the pressure is increased to 4.0 atmatm the volume of
Helga [31]

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law,  pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature and moles.

Mathematically,       P = \frac{k}{V}

where,     k = proportionality constant

Also, formula for initial pressure and volume is as follows.

              P_{i} = \frac{k_{i}}{V_{i}}

or,           k_{i} = P_{i} \times V_{i}

                          = 2 atm \times 15 L

                          = 30 atm L

Now, we will calculate the value of k_{f} as follows.

             k_{f} = P_{f} \times V_{f}

                         = 4 atm \times 7.5 L

                         = 30 atm L

Hence, as k_{i} = k_{f} this means that it signifies that gas obeys boyle's law.
