Answer : The correct option is, 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Explanation :

Neutral atom means the atom contains same number of electrons and protons and there is no charge on atom.

The given neutral atom is, oxygen

The atomic number of oxygen = 8

As we know that the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons and also equal to the number of protons.

Number of electrons = Number of protons = 8

The atomic mass of neutral oxygen atom = 16

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 16 - 8 = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Therefore, the neutral atom of oxygen have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons.

Write the net ionic reaction for the following double replacement reaction:
Schach [20]

Net ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

In the ion equation, there is a spectator ion that is the ion which does not react because it is present before and after the reaction  

When these ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation  

For gases and solids including water (H₂O) can be written as an ionized molecule  

Reaction

CuSO₄(aq)+Na₂S(aq)⇒CuS(s)+Na₂SO₄

ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+SO₄²⁻(aq)+2Na⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)+2Na⁺(aq+SO₄²⁻(aq)

spectator ions : 2Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻

Net ionic equation

Cu²⁺(aq)+S²⁻(aq)⇒CuS(s)

How many grams of As2S3 are in 3.25 moles?
laiz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of As2S3= {75(2) + 32(3)}

= 150 + 96 = 246g/mol

Amount = 3.25mole

And

Amount = mass/ molar mass

mass = amount × molar mass

Mass = 3.25 × 246

mass = 799.5g
