Answer:

Explanation:
Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.
However, when we talk about the atomic number of the ion, it is not equal to the number of electrons as electron can be gained or loosed.
This is why, more appropriately, the number of the protons which are present in the nucleus of the atom is called the atomic number.
Thus, atomic number of phosphorus = 15
Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.
Given, Mass number = 32
Thus, the symbol of the isotope is:-

Yes it can cause chemical change
Answer:

Explanation:
Molecular formula ( just write down all of the elements ) C 4 H4 O4
Empiracle formual CHO
"Molecular formulas tell you how many atoms of each element are in a compound, and empirical formulas tell you the simplest or most reduced ratio of elements in a compound"
Answer:
10.3 g of oxygen are formed when 26.4 g of potassium chlorate is heated
Explanation:
This is the balanced equation:
2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
Ratio beteween the salt and oxygen is 2:3
Molar mass of KClO₃ = 122.55 g/m
Let's find out the moles of salt
Mass / Molar mass
26.4 g /122.55 g/m = 0.215 moles
So, this is the final rule of three:
If 2 moles of KClO₃ make 3 moles of oxygen
0.215 moles of KClO₃ make (0.215 .3) /2 = 0.323 moles of O₂ are produced
Molar mass O₂ = 32 g/m
Moles . molar mass = mass
0.323 m . 32g/m = 10.3 g
