It is a chamber that consits of no particles and its inside, therefore, is a vaccum. (Get it? Evacuated > Vaccum).The volume inside of an evacuated chamber is zero and is used so an experiment conducted inside of it has little risk of being effected by particles. So in Rutherford's experiment, they use it so no gas particles/atoms/nuclei can get in the way of the alpha radiation which gets absorbed by the air after 5cm of travel and has such a large size and mass so the experiment has big chance of being affected by air particles.

Hope this helps :),

Why partially evacuated chamber is used in aneroid barometre?

A partially evacuated chamber is used in an aneroid barometer because changes in atmospheric pressure will cause the flexible chamber to expand or contract, which is then measured and indicated on the barometer dial. This mechanism allows the aneroid barometer to measure variations in air pressure without the need for a liquid-filled chamber like in a traditional mercury barometer.

Why did Rutherford do the gold foil experiment in a evacuated chamber?

Rutherford conducted the gold foil experiment in an evacuated chamber to reduce interference from air molecules that could affect the path of alpha particles. This ensured a clean environment for the experiment and allowed for more accurate measurements of the scattering of alpha particles by the gold foil, leading to the discovery of the atomic nucleus.
