All nickel atoms would have the same number of protons or atomic number.
Answer:
39.78 Kg
Explanation:
Data Given;
Density = 1.53 g/cm³
Mass = <u>??</u>
Volume = 26.0 L = 26000 cm³
Formula Used;
The measure of mass per unit volume is called as density. It is a physical property of a substance and tells how tightly the particles are packed. Mathematically;
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Solving for Mass,
Mass = Volume × Density
Putting values,
Mass = 26000 cm³ × 1.53 g.mL⁻¹
Mass = 39780 g or 39.78 Kg
Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>
Explanation:
1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.
2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe.
When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0.
3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.
That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.
4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.
5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.
