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

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles: Neutrons, protons and electrons.

  1. Neutrons: These particles does not carry any charge and are located inside the nucleus.
  2. Protons: These particles carry positive charge and are also located inside the nucleus.
  3. Electrons: These particles carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus in the orbits. If an element looses 1 electron, it will carry positive charge and if an element gains 1 electron, it will carry a negative charge.

Element is identified by its atomic number. Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

If one, identifies the number of protons, then the element is easily identified. Electrons on the other hand are easy to remove or add, so it is not convenient to use the number of electrons in identifying the element.

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.

The solubility of nitrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 1 atm is 6.8 x 10^(-4) mol/L. If the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air
Zolol [24]

Answer:

5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.

Explanation:

  • The relationship between gas pressure and the  concentration of dissolved gas is given by  Henry’s law:

<em>P = kC</em>

where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous  solute above the solution.

k is a constant (Henry’s constant).

C is the concentration of the dissolved gas.

  • At two different pressures, there is two different concentrations of dissolved gases and is expressed in a relation as:

<em>P₁C₂ = P₂C₁,</em>

P₁ = 1.0 atm, C₁ = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

P₂ = 0.76 atm, C₂ = ??? mol/L.

<em>∴ C₂ = (P₂C₁)/P₁ =</em> (0.76 atm)(6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L)/(1.0 atm) = <em>5.168 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L ≅ 5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>

decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produce water and oxygen . calculate the volume of O2 formed from the decomposition of 150 mL
Ugo [173]

Explanation:

2H2O2 => 2H2O + O2

Moles of hydrogen peroxide = 0.150dm³ * (0.02mol/dm³) = 0.003mol .

Moles of oxygen = 0.0015mol.

Volume of oxygen = 0.0015mol * (22.4dm³/mol) = 0.0336dm³.

What does temperature indirectly measure? 1)Sound 2)Thermometers 3)Chemical Reactions 4)Heat​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Temperature is the average thermal energy (or heat) in a substance. Sound isn't really related, thermometers measure temperature, and chemical reactions can produce heat, but none of those are measured by temperature.

When do replicated chromosomes are aligned in the center
Art [367]

Answer:

<u>During Metaphase</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

During Metaphase the cell chromosome align themselves in the middle of the cell.This occur due to a cellular process called "Tug of War".

The chromosome which have been replicated and joined at the central point  called centromere are called sister chromatids

Prior to metaphase , Kinetochore type of protein are formed around the centromere. Long protein filament called kinetochore are extended from poles to other end of the cell attached to kinetochore.

Therse is important checkpoint in the middle of mitosis called<u> metaphase.</u>

At this point cell ensure that , it is ready to divide or not.

Once the cell ensure that everything is ready to divide. Only after then , yhe cell enters the fourth phase called <u>anaphase.</u>
