<u>Answer: </u>The term is Mass number.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons present in an atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. It is represented as A.

A = Number of proton + Number of neutrons

Hence, the correct answer is Mass number.

What is the electron configuration for sulfur? A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 B. 1s2 1p6 2s2 2p6 3s2 C. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 4s1 D. 1s2 2

Sulfur has two filled energy levels and six electrons on the third energy level. The corresponding electron configuration is A.
B is incorrect because there are no p orbitals at the first energy level, ie, no 1p orbitals. C is incorrect because the 4s1 electron would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals. D is incorrect because the 3d electrons would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals.

Determine the LIMITING reactant in the following balanced equation:
padilas [110]

Answer:

KBr is limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of  KBr =4g

Mass of Cl₂ = 6 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2KBr + Cl₂      →    2KCl + Br₂

Number of moles of KBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4 g/ 119 gmol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6 g/ 70 gmol

Number of moles = 0.09 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

              KBr            :            KCl

                2              :              2

            0.03            :            0.03

             KBr            :              Br₂

                2             :               1

             0.03           :          1/2×0.03= 0.015

               Cl₂             :            KCl

                 1              :              2

            0.09            :           2/1×0.09 = 0.18

               Cl₂             :              Br₂

                1              :               1

             0.09           :            0.09

Less number of moles of product are formed by the KBr thus it will act as limiting reactant while Cl₂  is present in excess.

V²+ = (B)

X³+ = (D)

Y³- = (C)

Z²- = (A)

When an element loses electrons, the element gains a positive charge

When an element gains electrons, the element gains a negative charge

NOTE: Electrons are negative charges

An object weighting 9.6 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder displacing the volume from 10.0mL to 13.2 mL
grigory [225]

The volume of object is 3.2 ml

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Given:

Mass of the object = M = 9.6 g

Initial volume of liquid: V_1 = 10.0\ ml

Final volume of liquid after displacement: V_2 = 13.2\ ml

Total volume of the displaced object inside a graduating cylinder will be given as difference between the final volume and initial volume of the expanding object.

V = V_2-V_1 = 13.2 -1 0.0 = 3.2\ ml

V = 3.2 ml
