Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element chemically combines with another element in a fixed ratio by mass then it results into the formation of a compound.

A compound can be separated into its constituent particles only by chemical means and not by any physical means.

An element is a substance which contains only one type or kind of atoms.

For example, a piece of sodium will contain only atoms of sodium.

An element cannot be divided into its constituent particles by any means.

Whereas particles of a mixture never combine chemically with each other. So, they can be separated by physical means.

Thus, we can conclude that if matter is uniform throughout and cannot be separated into other substances by physical means, it is a compound.

How do electrons differ from protons and neutrons? A. They do not move. B. They are larger. C. They are not in a fixed position.

nikdorinn [45]

Hi!

Electrons are particles which basically 'orbit' around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are condensed, in a fixed position inside the nucleus.

With this in mind, the answer will be C.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)=4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

balandron [24]

The volume of ethyne, C₂H₂ required to produce 12 moles of CO₂ assuming the reaction is at STP is 134.4 L

<h3>Balanced equation</h3>

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) --> 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the mole of C₂H₂ needed to produce 12 moles of CO₂</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of CO₂ were produced by 2 moles of C₂H₂

Therefore,

12 moles of CO₂ will be produce by = (12 × 2) / 4 = 6 moles of C₂H₂

<h3>How to determine the volume (in L) of C₂H₂ needed at STP</h3>

At standard temperature and pressure (STP),

1 mole of C₂H₂ = 22.4 L

Therefore,

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 6 × 22.4

6 moles of C₂H₂ = 134.4 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of C₂H₂ needed for the reaction at STP is 134.4 L
