In rutherford’s experiment, why did the nucleus repel alpha particles?

a. electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged nucleus and alpha particles

b. electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged nucleus and alpha particles

c. electrostatic repulsion between the positively charged nucleus and alpha particles

d. electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and alpha particles

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. which postulate of kinetic molecular theory best explains how this is possible? a. attractive forces between gas particles are negligible because the particles of an ideal gas are moving so quickly. b. collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy. c. gases consist of a large number of small particles, with a lot of space between the particles. d. gas particles are in constant, random motion, and higher kinetic energy means faster movement.

Sulfuric acid (a component of acid rain) reacts with limestone (calcium carbonate) to produce calcium sulfate and carbon dioxide. this damages buildings and statues made of limestone. which solution of sulfuric acid will damage these structures more quickly? a. 0.001% b. 0.005% c. 0.010% d. 0.015%

We are hoping to create 5.72 grams of glucose. the plant was given 4.75 liters of co2 and 2.81 g of h20. which reactant was the limiting reagent? how much excess mass did we have of the other reactant?
