Answer: definite proportions.

Explanation:

1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).

2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.

The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.

Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).

The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.

Why using a temperature probe is preferable to using a conventional mercury thermometers

Crank

This for health and hazard purposes. The conventional thermometers contain mercury which is very dangerous to health. It is toxic which could cause poisoning, respiratory damage and kidney problems. Because of this, it is already illegal to use them for safety purposes. Temperature probes are much safer because they only use thermocouples.

Bromine has an atomic mass of 79.9 amu, but only has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, Bromine-79 and Bromine-81. If Bromine-80 do

galina1969 [7]

Educated Guess Here!

Since Br-80 does not exist, maybe that means Br-79 or Br-81 have very unequal abundances. For example, Br-79 may have 75% abundance whereas Br-81 may have 25% abundance.

Which series of atomic numbers represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table?

statuscvo [17]

Atomic number is same as the number of protons in the element which is further equal to the number of electrons. As the number of electrons increases in the element, the atomic number of the element also increases.

In periodic table, elements are arranged in the groups, and these groups are columns starting from 1 to 18, elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. Elements are placed with difference of one atomic number.

First four elements present in the periodic table is:

$He$ atomic number is one (1).

$H$ atomic number is two (2).

$Li$ atomic number is three (3).

$Be$ atomic number is four (4).

Thus, the series of atomic numbers that represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table is the last option - 1, 2, 3, 4...

True or false? dry ice subliming (turning from a solid straight into a gas) is an example of a chemical change.

False because when a substance changes from one state of matter to another it is a physical change no matter how many states of matter it skips
