<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons that are present in a neutral atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

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

A = Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u>

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having mass number 115.

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 49

Number of neutrons = 115 - 49 = 66

Hence, this is not correctly described.

  • <u>Option B:</u>

Scandium is the 21st element of the periodic table having mass number 45

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 21

Number of neutrons = 45 - 21 = 24

Hence, this is not correctly described.

  • <u>Option C:</u>

Aluminium is the 13th element of the periodic table having mass number 27

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 13

Number of neutrons = 27 - 13 = 14

Hence, this is not correctly described.

  • <u>Option D:</u>

Zinc is the 30th element of the periodic table.

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 30

This atom has 30 protons inside the nucleus and 30 electrons outside the nucleus.

Hence, this is correctly described.

Thus, the correct answer is Option D.

Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 18.8 g of CO2 and 6.75 g of H2O.
Inessa05 [86]
First we have to find moles of C:
Molar mass of CO2:
12*1+16*2 = 44g/mol
(18.8 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) x (1 mol C/ 1 mol CO2) =0.427 mol C 
Molar mass of H2O:
2*1+16 = 18g/mol
As there is 2 moles of H in H2O,
So,

<span>(6.75 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) x (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) = 0.74mol H </span>

<span>Divide both number of moles by the smaller number of moles: </span>
<span>As Smaaler no moles is 0.427:
So,
Dividing both number os moles by 0.427 :
(0.427 mol C) / 0.427 = 1.000 </span>
<span>(0.74 mol H) / 0.427 = 1.733 </span>

<span>To achieve integer coefficients, multiply by 2, then round to the nearest whole numbers to find the empirical formula: 
C = 1 * 2 = 2
H = 1.733 * 2 =3.466
So , the empirical formula is C2H3</span>
