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.

5. What is the molar mass of ethanol (C2H5OH)?
AVprozaik [17]
<h2>D) 46.07 g/mol</h2>

The molar mass is given by the sum of the atomic masses of the component elements of the substance.

In our case, the substance is ethanol or C₂H₅OH.

A_C=12.011

A_H=1.0079

A_O=15.9994

\mathcal M_{C_2H_5OH} = 2 \times A_C + 6 \times A_H + A_O = 2 \times 12.011 + 6 \times 1.00079+ 15.999 4= 24.022 + 6.0474 + 15.9994= 46.069≈ \boxed{46.07 \dfrac{g}{mol}}

Why does distillation produce pure water but filtration does not?
ASHA 777 [7]

Filtration is used to separate large particles but this process does not provide pure solutions as some impurities still remain in the solution. On the other hand, distillation helps in the formation of pure water as it removes the impurities from the water or solution.
