Atomic Number definition: The number of protons within the nucleus of x atom.

Atomic Mass definition: The number of protons and/+ neutrons within the nucleus of x atom. 

The given information states that the element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nuclei with 8 electrons revolving around it. If the atomic number is 'the number of protons' and we have 8 given protons, our answer would be 8.  If the atomic mass is protons + neutrons and we have 8 protons and neutrons, our answer for atomic mass would inevitably be 16. 

Therefore

Atomic number: 8

Atomic mass: 16

Can somebody please help me here ? i wanna make sure of my answer..
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

[Unfortunately] Answer is A

Explanation:

You should know that 'liquid' is a state of matter and aqueous means that there is water present.

-It is mentioned that barium chloride is a <u>solution</u>. So you can cut off the C option.

-Barium sulfate is a <u>salt</u> which means it's a solid, so you can cut off the D option.

We now have A and B as the only options remaining.

-Dilute sulfuric acid is definitely not a liquid because water is present. (dilute indicates that there is a greater proportion of water)

The answer should be A.

B) Ethane has the formula C2H6. In terms of electronic structure,
k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only  1 electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having 2 electrons in K shell and 4 electrons in L shell.

So carbon have  4 valence electrons,and it can share 4 bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires  1 electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula C_{n}H_{2n+2}

For ethane n=2

C_{2}H_{4+2} = C_{2}H_{6}

1 Carbon atom is shared by  3 Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron (4-3)=1 of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only  1 covalent bond between the two.

You need to prepare 100.0 mL of a pH=4.00 Get the buffer solution using 0.100 M benzoic acid (pKa = 4.20) and 0.140 M sodium ben
nikklg [1K]
Ok let me explain the procedure to you:
The buffer solution is like this:
pH = pKa + log [salt]/[acid] 4 = 4.20 + log [salt] / [acid] -0.20 = log [salt]/[acid]
If you <span>Solve for [salt]/[acid] This gives ratio of moles.
</span><span>Take amount of acid be x L and then amount of salt will be 0.1-x Now molarity*volume=number of moles
</span>I know that with this you will be able to get to the result. Hope this helps
