Read the following passage. Before Rutherford conducted the gold foil experiment, the "plum pudding" model proposed by J. J. Thomson offered an explanation for the structure of the atom. Rutherford, along with two of his associates Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, performed an experiment in which an extremely thin metal foil was fired with a beam of alpha particles. The results of the experiment were recorded accurately by another scientist who observed the frequency of alpha particles that passed through the foil unobstructed.

Use information from the passage to justify whether the characteristics of reliable scientific explanations are present in the development of the atomic theory. (8 points)

i'm hoping this is like a multiple answer question. if it is then it would be, the location of the plants and also the height of the plants since one she wants to know where in her garden the chamomile grows best. but also to see which plants grew better in the location she also has to measure the plant itself. (if you can only choose one answer than it would be c).

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
