The correct answer is: Atoms are the building blocks that make up elements. At the center of each atom is a nucleus composed of small particles called protons and neutrons. Nuclei is the plural of nucleus; option C.

<h3>What is atomic number of an element?</h3>

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the nucleus of the atom of the element.

The nucleus is the center of the atom and is the heaviest part of the atom.

Another sub-atomic particle fund in the nucleus is the neutron.

Elements are named according to the number of protons in the nuclei.. This is because the number of protons in the nucleus of any given atom whereas the neutron number may vary, Also, electrons are easily removed from atoms of elements.

In conclusion, the number of protos in atom is used to name the atom.

Anything with mass creates gravity, but the amount of gravity is proportional to the amount of mass.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amount of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Gravity is a force that increases the velocity of falling objects - they accelerate.

How many liters of 0.37 M solution can be made with 29.53 grams of lithium fluoride.<br> (LiF)?
dsp73

Answer:

V = 3.1 L      

Explanation:

Given data:

Molarity of solution = 0.37 M

Mass of LiF = 29.53 g

Volume of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of LiF:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 29.53 g/ 25.94g/mol

Number of moles = 1.14 mol

Volume:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / Volume in L

0.37 M = 1.14 mol / V

V = 1.14 mol / 0.37 M

V = 3.1 L         (M = mol/L)

A student has a 2.123 g sample of a hydrated salt. she heats it to drive off all the water. after heating to constant mass, the
morpeh [17]
The mass of hydrated salt - 2.123 g
mass of anhydrous salt - 1.861 g
mass that has been reduced is the mass of water that has been heated and lost from the compound thereby making the salt anhydrous.
therefore mass of water lost - 2.123 - 1.861 = 0.262 g
number of moles of water lost - 0.262 g / 18 g/mol = 0.0146 mol 
number of moles of salt - 1.861 g / 380.6 g/mol = 0.00490 mol 
molar ratio of moles of water to moles of salt 
molar ratio = 0.146 mol / 0.00490 mol = 2.98 rounded off to 3
for every 1 mol of salt there are 3 moles of water
therefore empirical formula - Cu₃(PO₄)₂.3H₂O

General Chemistry fourth edition by McQuarrie, Rock, and Gallogly. University Science Books presented by Macmillan Learning.
Helen [10]

Answer:

3.07 Cal/g

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter

We will use the following expression.

Q = C × ΔT

where,

  • Q: heat absorbed
  • C: heat capacity of the calorimeter (37.60 kJ/K = 37.60 kJ/°C)
  • ΔT: temperature change (2.29 °C)

Q = 37.60 kJ/°C × 2.29 °C = 86.1 kJ

According to the law of conservation of energy, the heat released by the candy has the same magnitude as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.

Step 2: Convert 86.1 kJ to Cal

We will use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4.186 kJ.

86.1 kJ × 1 Cal/4.186 kJ = 20.6 Cal

Step 3: Calculate the number of Cal per gram of candy

20.6 Cal/6.70 g = 3.07 Cal/g
