Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

I just quickly looked it up. Cornstarch is extremely flammable.

Corn starch, like wood, consists of a carbohydrate complex, which is why it burns – but it will only ignite when it is dispersed in air. While it's packed in the container or in a pile on the counter it will not burst into flames due to insufficient oxygen.

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

How many moles of gas would occupy 22.4 L at 273K in one arm?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

1 mol

Explanation:

Using the general gas law equation as follows:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

According to the provided information in the question;

V = 22.4L

T = 273K

P = 1 atm

R = 0.0821 Latm/molK

n = ?

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1 × 22.4) ÷ (0.0821 × 273)

n = 22.4 ÷ 22.4

n = 1mol

Which of these household items is powered by alternating current?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

C. Hair dryer

Explanation:

Alternating Current

The other kind of electricity is called alternating current, or AC. Power plants produce this

type of electricity. It is carried by large power lines from the plant to your home. When you

plug a TV, a lamp, or a hair dryer into the wall socket, you are using this type of electricity.
