The elements are electrically neutral, this is they have the same amount of positive as negative charge.

Electrons and protons have each the same amount of charge but different sign. Eletrons are negative and protons are positive.

Then to be neutral, the number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. This mean that the element must have 12 electrons.

Answer: 12.

6 moles of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) are dissolved in enough water to make a 3M solution. What is the volume of the solutio
Yanka [14]

Answer:

2000 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles KMnO₄ = 6 mol

Molarity of solution = 3M

Volume of solution in mL = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Molarity  = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L

3 M = 6 mol / volume of solution in L

volume of solution in L = 6 mol/ 3 M

volume of solution in L = 2 L

Now we convert the L into mL:

1 L = 1000 mL

2 L × 1000 mL / 1 L

2000 mL

Vera_Pavlovna [14]
<span>The answer is A. The pump and the plastic are the only ones that create pressure compared to the other choices. When you exert a force on the pump to a closed object such as plastic, the pressure inside the pump that it gives off makes the plastic full of air. Pressure is defined to be the force per unit area or the stress within a fluid. </span>
