- The early alchemists used to do an experiment in which water was boiled for several days in a sealed glass container. Eventually, some solid residue would appear in the bottom of the flask, which was interpreted to mean that some of the water in the flask had been converted into earth. When Lavoisier repeated this experiment, he found that the water weighed the same before and after heating and the mass of the flask plus the solid residue equaled the original mass of the flask. Were the alchemists correct? Explain what happened. (This experiment is described in the article by A. F. Scott in Scientific American, January 1984.)arrow_forwardAccording to Rutherfords model of the atom, how many electrons would be found in each of the following atoms? a. fluorine, which has 9 protons in its nucleus b. sulfur, which has 16 protons in its nucleusarrow_forward
