The piece of information that Ryan can use to best identify an element is C. How many protons the element has.

<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.

How manymoles of each ion are present in 175 mL of 0.147 M Fe2(SO4)3?
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 0.0257 moles of Fe^{3+}  and 0.0257 moles of SO_4^{2-}

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text {Volume in L}}

moles of  Fe_2(SO_4)_3=Molarity\times {\text {Volume in L}}=0.147\times 0.175L=0.0257moles

The balanced reaction for dissociation will be:

Fe_2(SO_4)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+SO_4^{2-}

According to stoichiometry:  

1 mole of Fe_2(SO_4)_3 gives 1 mole of Fe^{3+}  and 1 mole of SO_4^{2-}

Thus there will be 0.0257 moles of Fe^{3+}  and 0.0257 moles of SO_4^{2-}

Phase changes happen as the temperature changes.
All matter can move from one state to another. It may require extreme temperatures or extreme pressures, but it can be done. Sometimes a substance doesn't want to change states. You have to use all of your tricks when that happens. To create a solid, you might have to decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen (O2) will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit (-218.8 degrees Celsius) at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

A flask contains 0.340 mol of liquid bromine, br2. determine the number of bromine molecules present in the flask.
marshall27 [118]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

0.340 mol Br2 ( </span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mol ) = 2.05 x 10^23 molecules
