Its 2.) Argon the ans.

The correct answer is:  2)  "argon" ;  or,  " Ar " ; 
________________________________________________________
                                    → {which is the corresponding symbol for "argon"                                            in the "Periodic Table of Elements"}.
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
Note that among the answer choices provided;  
Answer choice:  " 3)  "hydrogen sulfide" {sic} is misspelled and is supposed to be:    " 3)  hydrogen sulfide " . 
________________________________________________________

Note that "argon" {" Ar " } is one single element.  "Argon"  is one of the 6 (six) "noble gases" , which are all "monatomic" as a gas;  and are:
_________________________________________________________
         1)  helium (He),    2)  neon (Ne),    3)  argon (Ar),    4)  krypton (Kr),   5) xenon,  and:  6)  radon (Rn) .
_________________________________________________________
Let us review the other answer choice provided to see if they are incorrect:
_________________________________________________________
Choice 1)  "oxygen" ; is INCORRECT.  "Oxygen" exists in gaseous form as either:  " O₂ " —"oxygen gas"—which is "diatomic" [has 2 (two) atoms of oxygen per molecule—and as such, NOT "monatomic" ; 
   or:  " O₃ " — "ozone gas" —which is "triatomic" [has 3 (three) atoms of oxygen per molecule—and as such, NOT "monatomic". 
_________________________________________________________
Choice 3)  "hydrogen sulfide" {Note the correct spelling:  "sulfide"} — is INCORRECT.  "Hydrogen sulfide" ;  that is:  " H₂ S " — is a gaseous compound that has 2 (two) atoms of hydrogen per molecule AND 1 (one) atom of sufur per molecule—with a total of 3 (three) atoms per molecule.  Thus, "hydrogen sulfide" is "triatomic" —and as such, NOT "monatomic". 
_________________________________________________________
Choice 4)  "Ammonia" is INCORRECT.  "Ammonia" ; that is:  "NH ₃ " — exists as a gaseous compound that has 1 (one) atom of nitrogen per molecule AND 3 (three) atoms of hydrogen per molecule—with a total of 4 (four) atoms per molecule.  Thus, "ammonia" is "polyatomic" —more specficially, "tetratomic"—and such, NOT "monoatomic".
___________________________________________________________
Shortcut tip:  We can actually rule out Choices 3 and 4 really easily because they are "compounds" (consist of more than one element), which means, at the minimum, they would be "diatomic or having an even greater number of atoms"; and as such:  NOT "monatomic" .
__________________________________________________________
Hope this answer—and explanation—are of help to you!
Best wishes!

Answer:

The second option

Explanation:

Speed is defined at the rate at which distance changes with time. It is scalar quantity and it is expressed as shown below:

              Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

At constant speed the rate of change of distance with time is the same. On the second graph, this is noticeable. Both distance and time change at the same rate.

2. Calculate the mass of 3.47x1023 gold atoms.
lapo4ka [179]

3.47 x 10^{23} atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams.

Explanation:

Data given:

number of atoms of gold = 3.47 x 10^{23}

mass of the gold in given number of atoms = ?

atomic mass of gold =196.96 grams/mole

Avagadro's number = 6.022 X 10^{23}

from the relation,

1 mole of element contains 6.022 x 10^{23} atoms.

so no of moles of gold given = \frac{3.47 X 10^{23}  }{6.022 X 10^{23} }

0.57 moles of gold.

from the relation:

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

rearranging the equation,

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

mass = 0.57 x 196.96

mass = 113.44 grams

thus, 3.47 x 10^{23} atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams

According of Dalton's law of Partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual vases in the mixture.

Hence;

The for hydrogen collected over water, we have a mixture of hydrogen gas and water vapour.

Total pressure = pressure of hydrogen gas + vapour pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total pressure - vapour pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 636 mmHg - 28.3 mmHg

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 607.7 mmHg
