The smallest mass among the choices is Choice (ii):2.3 x 10-3 μg

This is so because, the prefix μ signifies a factor of 10^-6.

For choice I:

23 cg means 23 centigrams

In essence = 0.23grams

For choice II:

2.3 × 10-3 μg means 2.3 × 10-9 grams

For choice III:

0.23 mg means 0.23 × 10-3 grams

For choice IV:

0.23 grams simply means 0.23grams

For choice V:

2.3 × 10-2 kg means 23 grams

Ultimately, Choice II represents the smallest mass.

An isotope with a mass number of 193 has 116 neutrons. What is the atomic number of this

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Atomic number of this isotope = 77

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass number = 193

No of neutrons = 116

We need to find the atomic no of this isotope.

We know that,

Atomic mass = No of protons + No. of neutrons

Also, atomic no = no of protons

So,

Atomic mass = atomic no + No. of neutrons

⇒ Atomic no = Atomic mass - no of neutrons

Atomic no = 193 - 116

Atomic no = 77

Hence, 77 is the atomic no of the isotope.

Will Florine react? will it combine with other elements?

Alexxx [7]

Fluorine is the most active chemical element, reacting with virtually every element. It even reacts with the noble gases at high temperatures and pressures. The noble gases, or Group 18 (VIIIA), also known as the inert gases, generally do not react with other elements.

You carefully weigh out 20.00 g of CaCO3 powder and add it to 81.00 g of HCl solution. You notice bubbles as a reaction takes pl

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The relevant equation is:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

1 mol of calcium carbonate can react to 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mol of water, 1 mol of calcium chloride and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

The formed CO₂ is the reason why you noticed bubbles as the reaction took place
